Pats Chat: A Patriots podcast with Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are here to make a 53-man roster for the Patriots. Unfortunately, it wasn't very difficult. That means there's still a long way to go to get the Patriots to the level where their talent is going to set them up to compete with the NFL's best. That's the main point of this one, but there's also an in-depth discussion about the current state of the offensive line, some lesser-known players who will probably end up on the team, and some deep Baseball Bois talk. That "Play Ball" song at Fenway really is the pits.

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are BACK at their computers, not in the car, and the timing is great, because the Patriots beat the Vikings 20-12 in a preseason game. There was a lot to like in this game. Drake Maye had a couple of misfires, though. Efton Chism has MADE THE ROSTER (unofficially). What do they do with Kyle Dugger, who played until the very last snap? And Anfernee Jennings, for that matter? Alex Austin, he's pretty good, huh? All that and more, plus some complaining about Tom Brady in a Raiders jacket and the way people drive their cars.

The Pats Chat fellas are BACK, with Doug Kyed fresh off a quick trip to Minnesota for two days of joint practices with the Vikings. How did the Patriots fare against one of the NFL's better teams? Is the offensive line a nightmare again? Is Stefon Diggs causing a problem perhaps? How is Kyle Dugger so far down the depth chart? All of these questions and MORE are answered, along with some Taylor Swift Twitter ranting from Michael Hurley.

Also, Doug was in the car for this one, so yes, there were a few blips along the way. But we are too honest of a podcast to edit that out for you. We are authentic. Take us as we are. OK bye.

Hey, first, we're sorry if the audio sucks. We recorded this the only way that we could to get it out to you guys before next week. So, we apologize if you find it tough to listen to. We'll do better next time. Promise.

The Patriots beat the Commanders 48-18 in their preseason opener, and there are a lot of positive notes and not many negative ones to take away from the game. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley sit in their cars and break down the game.

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.

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.
