Locked On Patriots - Daily Podcast On The New England Patriots

All eyes were on Drake Maye heading into the Patriots home opener and week two matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But, by the end of the day, it was Zak Kuhr’s Defense that stole all the headlines with a dominant performance against Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers Offense. Led by two big plays from Christian Barmore, a scoop and score from Elijah Ponder and the usual excellence from Christian Gonzalez, the Steelers had no answers.
Meanwhile, Drake Maye didn’t necessarily answer the questions the Pats hoped he would after the fourth quarter meltdown in Seattle. Maye made some plays, but also made multiple mistakes, leaving plenty of fans queasy. Romeo Doubs made two big plays, but Kyle Williams, Mack Hollins, and Pop were virtually invisible.
But, the biggest question leaving week two isn’t Drake Maye, it’s the roster. Several key injuries to starting Patriots leave the team in a dangerous position moving forward. Mike Onwenu, Dre’Mont Jones, Craig Woodson and others had to leave Sunday’s game. No bueno!
Join us for a Locked On Patriots live postgame to recap it all!

New England Patriots face a pivotal test as Drake Maye looks to rebound from a shaky fourth quarter, while the Pittsburgh Steelers eye a commanding 2-0 start. With Joey Porter Jr.'s status uncertain and A.J. Brown sidelined, all eyes turn to key matchups like Christian Gonzalez vs. DK Metcalf and the battle in the trenches between Morgan Moses, Will Campbell, and the Steelers' edge rushers. Can the Patriots' offensive line hold off T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, or will Aaron Rodgers and Pittsburgh’s revamped passing attack take control?
Nick Cattles and Chris Carter break down the crucial factors that could decide Sunday’s outcome—turnovers, quarterback performance under pressure, and the chess match between Mike Vrabel and Mike McCarthy. Predictions, in-depth player insights, and a look at both teams’ challenging schedules set the stage for a high-stakes AFC clash. Will the Patriots avoid a disastrous 0-4 start, or do the Steelers’ defensive playmakers seize another win?

New England Patriots fans question Drake Maye’s rocky start and playoff struggles—should alarm bells be ringing, or is it just growing pains for the young quarterback? Nick Cattles delivers a measured breakdown of Maye’s Week 1 fourth-quarter collapse, assesses his true performance in last year’s playoffs, and draws crucial parallels to Josh Allen’s early NFL career. The episode challenges negative media narratives and recency bias, highlighting the nuances behind fumbles, pressure-to-sack rates, and the ever-shifting learning curve for rising stars.
Key topics include the potential need for reinforcement at edge rusher, surprising trends in tight end and jumbo usage, and a trust tier ranking of weapons Drake Maye must lean on without A.J. Brown—spotlighting Mack Hollins, Hunter Henry, and Romeo Doubs. How will Mike Vrabel’s game plan adapt, and can the Patriots find offensive consistency while navigating early-season adversity?

New England Patriots brace for life without A.J. Brown—who will step up to fill the void? Nick Cattles spotlights Mack Hollins, Romeo Doubs, and Kyle Williams as they each face pivotal challenges in the Patriots’ evolving offense. With Brown sidelined, pressure mounts on the receiver corps to deliver, while Gabe Jacas’ breakout defensive debut and the shifting roles of tight ends and running backs become critical to sustaining offensive productivity.
Key topics include New England’s adaptation to the NFL’s renewed focus on running game and big personnel, the strategic importance of blocking from receivers and special teamers, and intriguing injury updates affecting both sides of the ball. Can the Patriots replace Brown’s productivity and thrive in a run-centric league? Nick Cattles examines coaching decisions, under-the-radar contributors, and tactical changes as New England prepares for their next test against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
