1. In March of this offseason, Jakob Johnson did an interview with a media network in his hometown of Stuggart, Germany. During the interview he said his position had been "eliminated" from the Patriots offense.

2. This is significant, because at fullback, he played more than 300 offensive snaps and the Patriots in total ran 23% of their offensive snaps with at least two running backs on the field. If the position is eliminated, where do those snaps go?

3. I believe that they will largely become passing snaps. New England still had a lot of success running out of 3 WR sets and the addition of Parker gives them a viable trio of wide receivers to rely on.

4. There are other signs to more passes and up tempo offense coming in 2022. Mac Jones went through an extreme weight loss and conditioning program, beat reporters have consistent spoke about how much quicker the offense looks on field, and McDaniels is out as the play caller. 

5. While Belichick assumes responsibility for the play calling duties, Patricia will be inserted as the stand in OC. Considering the loss of JC Jackson and key pieces in the middle of the Patriots defense, they will be forced into more zone coverage than man, which will change the defensive look overall against a much more difficult schedule of quarterbacks. 

I think the Patriots score a ton of points in 2022 - while giving up just as many, or more. Their totals are too low, and this is a prime over team in the season ahead.
