What you missed in the Patriots’ preseason opener

Alex Barth of 98.5 The Sports Hub joins Andrew to break down the film from the Patriots’ preseason opener. The biggest story on offense was a young offensive tackle who quietly had one of the better individual performances of the night — Alex and Andrew go frame by frame on what made him stand out and what it means for the depth chart battle heading into the regular season. The coaching staff also dropped some hints at schematic changes that flew under the radar on first watch, and the guys unpack what those wrinkles could look like when the games actually count. On the defensive side, the depth chart is still unsettled — but after what they saw in this game, that should start to change quickly. If you want the film room perspective that goes beyond the box score, this is the episode to watch.
