There is a report out now that the Patriots have sign an injured LB to a contract extension. The New England Patriots are coming off a big loss to the New Orleans Saints. To put it nicely, they did not play very well at all. The offense looked stagnant at times under the leadership of Mac Jones. It is clear that he is a rookie and those growing pains should subside over time. But will they be able to bounce back?

But now there is a report out that the Patriots have signed an injured LB to a contract extension.

Report: Patriots Sign Injured LB to Contract Extension

Head coach Bill Belichick talked about this addition.

“Raekwon’s done a real good job, I’ve been very impressed with his intelligence, his work ethic. He’s locked in every day. He works extremely hard both on and off the field. Does a great job of trying to get it just the way that it’s supposed to be, the way he’s been taught. He takes all that very seriously and handles a lot of responsibility in there, both with the front, the coverage and a lot of the time the linebacker adjustments by formation and so forth.”

He also talked about the loss on Sunday.

“We had some chances, but in the end we just couldn’t get it done,” said Belichick. “It’s disappointing, but there’s no magic sauce here. Just have to go back to work and do better.”

“Today, we were just inconsistent in every area,” Belichick explained. “So we’ve got to just do a better job. [We’ll] go back and look at the film, make some some corrections. Obviously New Orleans is a good defense, but we’ve got to move the ball better than we did today. Play better defense, play better in the kicking game.”

“When you’re behind and you have to throw every down, that’s never a good position to be in,” Belichick said of New England’s altered offensive game plan. “We don’t ever want to be in that situation.”
