The Patriots welcomed the Commanders to Foxboro for a joint practice session, and they looked good. Doug Kyed shares his observations on Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs, spotlights which receivers are separating from the pack, and more. Michael Hurley finally contributes with some strong takes about Stefon Diggs eating Five Guys AND on Taylor Lewan lauding Machine Gun Kelly as a pop punk savior.

Pats Chat is BACK with Doug Kyed offering his observations on which Patriots have helped and hurt their cases to make the roster thus far through camp. Lots of focus on the offensive line and wide receiver room. Michael Hurley does a really good job of reading Doug’s tweets to Doug, and then they get to Terry McLaurin’s trade demand in Washington. Is it MORE realistic now? Finally, some thoughts on a surprisingly full concert that neither host attended.

The Patriots started to play some real football on the practice field on Monday, but Christian Gonzalez suffered what appeared to have been a hamstring injury. Doug Kyed was on site and shares his view of what happened while offering analysis of how Will Campbell fared, what the backup quarterback situation looks like, and everything else Patriots. Then some takes on lobsters, Cape Cod traffic, wasps and Offspring/Jimmy Eat World/New Found Glory ticket tomfoolery closed out the podcast.

Football is back, baby! Well, football practice is back, as the Pats took the field for the first day of training camp in Foxboro. Doug Kyed was there and he's got all of his takeaways. Drake Maye looked good. Stefon Diggs looked healthy. And many, many more things!

The Pats Chat podcast is BACK, with Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley recapping the ENTIRE spring program for the Patriots, which included an inconsistent finish from quarterback Drake Maye. Doug gives his standouts from the OTA and minicamp session, and Mike decides that Marcus Bryant will make the team (despite never seeing him play). And though it's Pats Chat, the baseball bois HAD to chime in on the insane Rafael Devers trade, while Doug offered up a tribute to his favorite band, The Beach Boys.

The Patriots were on the field for mandatory minicamp, and Doug Kyed was there to report on everything that took place. Mike Hurley is here to play "Big Deal Or No Big Deal" with the happenings in Foxboro. Also, Doug reflects on being named Visionary of the Year by LLS before the standard end-of-podcast inanity. #Chis

Good news, everybody: Drake Maye isn't bad at OTA practicing anymore. The second-year QB looked much, much better in the latest session open to the media, and Doug Kyed is here to provide some detail on that performance plus everything else from Foxboro ... including a standout performance from undrafted rookie receiver Efton Chism. Some non-gossipy Bill Belichick conversation ensues, before some embarrassing news for The Offspring and New Found Glory is tackled.

The boys are back in town -- Podcast Town -- and they're here to CHAT. This week, they're showing their expertise in party drugs, as it relates to the video of Stefon Diggs on a boat that's made the rounds online. Will he get in trouble? We'll find out. Also, Doug Kyed shares his observations from the Patriots' second OTA session open to the media, including slight improvement but still shaky play from Drake Maye. Plus, David Andrews is retiring, we throw around some takes on shows and movies, and Michael Hurley comes up with a great new podcast name. You better get used to it.

The media got to watch the Patriots' OTA practice on Tuesday, when Drake Maye threw four interceptions. Doug Kyed was there and shares his take on that plus which players appear to have the early track to being starters. Mike Hurley was not there but he asks Doug some really, really strong questions in this podcast, which includes thoughts on Mike Vrabel, an amended win total for 2025, "Forged In Foxborough," the concept of bringing a cat to a minor league baseball game, the challenges of chaperoning a field trip, and much, much, MUCH more.
