Pats Nation Network

On today's episode, Pat and Spags discuss the LB position this year. What players are going to have a big impact on the team, and what players are facing a prove it year? With the turnover, after losing 3 key contributors, they discuss how the position could look very different, but possibly in a good way. They start the show by talking about SB Nation's theme of the week, which is underdogs. They...

It is underdog week here at SB Nation, and The Scho Show is getting in on the act. In the first half of the show we sing a final ode to one of our heroes, and perhaps the ultimate underdog: James Develin. While the songs of the mead halls echo in the background, we pay tribute to his long and winding road to the NFL, what he meant to the New England Patriots - particularly during the 2018 season -...

Pat and Taylor are back talking about their MCU rewatch, and this time they're talking about The Incredible Hulk.

Episode 109 of The Scho Show is here to get your week started off right. In the first half of the show, Mark Schofield highlights a summer series he is working on over at USA Today. Titled "Metrics that Matter," Mark is diving into one statistic that might tell the story for each of the league's 32 teams. In this episode, Mark outlines the metrics that matter for each of the AFC East teams. From J...

Pat and Spags start their position by position look at the depth chart with WR. Is it possible that a position that many fans think is a weak spot could be a bright spot for the team this season? Who will make the team, and who will have the greatest impact this season? They finish the conversation with a few What If's from Patriots history. A few moments that, if they had gone differently, could'...

Episode 108 of The Scho Show is a mailbag installment. But before we get to a show loaded with incredible listener questions, we addressed the topic of the moment at SB Nation. That's right, it is "What If?" week, so Mark Schofield dives into what might have happened if the New England Patriots were foolish enough to take the advice of a high school sophomore all the way back in 1993. Then, we get...

The New England Patriots are looking at one of their most difficult schedules in recent memory- the reigning Super Bowl champions; the reigning NFC champions; the reigning NFL MVP- and they're going to have to face these teams without Tom Brady at the helm. So what can we expect? Will the Patriots continue their winning ways with Jarrett Stidham and reach the postseason? Or will we find out just h...

Last Thursday night, the NFL released the full schedule for the 2020 season. In the 107th installment of The Scho Show, Mark Schofield kicks things off by highlighting just what he got completely wrong about the New England Patriots' schedule. (Hint, it was almost everything). He then walks through the schedule and points out some things he'll be watching for each week. In the second half of the s...

Pat and Spags are here to talk about the 2020 Patriots schedule release, and they are doing it with Brycen. They have a solid conversation about the schedule, and how about the expectations for this team should be high, but certainly not as high as they have been in the past. They finish the show with some predictions for the team's record. Tell us how wrong(or right) we were on Twitter: Brycen: @...

Episode 106 of The Scho Show begins with...the Baltimore Ravens. Yes, this is a New England Patriots podcast, but sometimes there are topics that transcend a single team, and this is one of those moments. The Ravens were originally viewed as a team that enjoyed a tremendous draft, with selections such as Patrick Queen, J.K. Dobbins, Malik Harrison and others. But in the past few days opinions have...

Pat and Taylor are back to discuss the 4th movie in their MCU rewatch, Iron Man 2! Was the addition of Micky Rourke, Sam Rockwell, and Scar Jo enough to make this a good movie? You can be the judge of that, but hear what the guys have to say about it. As always, Taylor gives some Easter Eggs that you might have missed, even during the rewatch. Make sure you follow along on the rewatch, next up is...

The New England Patriots' 2020 NFL Draft Class and its additional undrafted free agent signings are in the books and the Patriots are certainly in a better position than they were before an undeniably quintessential Bill Belichick draft class. A second-round defensive back? Absolutely. A linebacker from Alabama? Sure! A fifth-round special teamer? Of course. And at least a couple undrafted players...

Episode 105 of The Scho Show begins, as few good podcasts do, on the nightstand. When host Mark Schofield woke up on Sunday morning he did what so many people do as soon as they wake up: He checked his phone. What did he find? A slew of football writers reacting to the Dallas Cowboys signing Andy Dalton lamenting the fact that the New England Patriots did not sign him. A common refrain? "Do the Pa...

Having recapped the draft class it is time to turn to the undrafted free agents. The New England Patriots have generally been a model franchise when it comes to finding talent in the undrafted ranks, and last year was not an exception to this rule. A year ago three such players made the roster: WR Gunner Olszewski, WR Jakobi Meyers, and TE Jakob Johnson. That kept alive a streak dating back to 200...

Pat and Spags welcome on Thor Nystrom, a writer for NBC Sports and Rotoworld, to recap last weekend's NFL Draft.

If someone told you prior to the second night of the 2020 NFL Draft that the New England Patriots would come out with: Devin Asiasi Kyle Dugger Dalton Keene Anfernee Jennings Joshua Uche You might have been very excited. That is exactly what the Patriots did. Now, the order might have taken some by surprise, as New England made Dugger, the Division II safety, their pick a...
