From sleeping in a closet as an OSU student assistant to becoming Mike Vrabel's most trusted football advisor, it's been a long journey to Foxborough for John “Stretch” Streicher. What makes this “rising star” so vital to New England's head coach?

“This guy is going to run an organization one day.”
John Streicher is Mike Vrabel’s version of Ernie Adams, and that’s not all: ‘This guy is going to run an organization one day’ - The Boston Globe
The 35-year-old never played football in college, but climbed the ranks alongside Mike Vrabel after the two met at Ohio State. Now, he's Vrabel's right-hand man in New England.

Plus, we check in with Christian Elliss a day after his big hit on Jaxson Dart, talk to Vederian Lowe about his first start of the season at left tackle, and more.
December 2, 2025 at 10:39 PM
Hogan’s favorite throw-and-catch of the night against the Giants was the 33-yard TD pass from Maye to rookie Kyle Williams.

“That’s a tough catch, full speed. … Looking the ball in over your shoulder. ... I was really happy to see him step up.”

The bye week figures to be heavy on self-scouting for the New England coaching staff, says Hogan.

“They’re going to dive into it, man.”

Christian Elliss is talking to reporters. Drake Maye walks by, sees the scene and says: “Big Play Elliss. Don’t hit me like that!”
December 2, 2025 at 5:57 PM
Definitely. Doing a mailbag this week, a Reddit ama later this week, and a q and a with Hogan next week. Lots of chances to ask questions.
As satisfying as the win was last night, there are still some gnawing questions that need to be answered in order to feel confident about having a successful super bowl run. Will you be soliciting questions again this week for another pod? About to listen to you and Hogan recap MNF in the meantime

On a night where the Patriots were without Will Campbell and Jared Wilson, and Garrett Bradbury was “dying” (in the words of Morgan Moses), Monday was a KG sort of game for New England’s o-line.

All grit and b*lls.

“I’m proud of them,” said Drake Maye.
Down starting pair, Patriots offensive line comes through thanks to backups Vederian Lowe and Ben Brown - The Boston Globe
The pair manned the left side of the line with usual starters Will Campbell and Jared Wilson out injured, and played solidly in Monday night's win over the Giants.

Once again, I am here to remind you the last time the Patriots lost a game, the Red Sox hadn’t yet qualified for the playoffs.
