Jones spoke about the new offense at their training camp.

The New England Patriots are currently in the midst of their training camp, preparing for the next NFL season. Of particular note is the new offensive lineup that the team is running with, though apparently, this new lineup has hit some rough patches. Coach Bill Belichick is spending more time with the team than usual, and the most recent 11th day of the camp yielded some less-than-stellar results.

Nevertheless, Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is confident that the new lineup will pull through. “I’m going to figure it out. I always have. I always will,” Jones said after Tuesday’s camp. “At the end of the day, you’re going to have your ups and downs with anything new … I think we’re close on a lot of things. It’s just that 2% we need to fix.”

“It’s just getting the communication down,” Jones said. “It’s different than what we’ve done in the past. It’s a little frustrating sometimes, but our offensive line — the players and coaches — are trying the best they can. I have all the trust in the world in those guys … It’s not going to happen overnight, but we’re going to grow.”
