6 Rings and Football Things

Mego stops by Rich, Ken and Ted for her Tuesday hour, and the Patriots have a lot to sort out before the deadline.
On this 6 Rings On Air:
If Mego had a crystal ball for the day after the deadline: Christian Barmore out, and why Carlton Davis is the one that perplexes her
AJ Brown's usage, the receiver depth, and what the offense actually looks like with everyone hurt
Andy Borregales missed his third field goal in eight games. Is the patience running out, or do you ride it out like Vinatieri?
Is 5-3 exactly who these Patriots are, and would a tight end or an edge rusher help more?
Finally, a quick one: Tatum or Drake Maye for MVP?

Without his top three wide receivers, his RB2, and his top tight end target, Drake Maye put the Patriots on his back, completing 16 of 20 pass attempts for 199 yards and three total touchdowns on Sunday in Miami. With his heater over the last five weeks, should Maye be higher in the MVP conversation? Meghan Ottolini and Justin Turpin discuss. Plus, how concerned should the Patriots be about kicker Andres Borregales and wide receiver A.J. Brown? And what do the Patriots need at the deadline?

The Patriots overcame a sluggish first half to beat the Dolphins 24-19 in Miami, completing a sweep of the AFC East on their first trip through the division.
Dan Bahl and Jon Lyons break down the win on the 6 Rings Postgame Show, including Drake Maye's impressive performance despite a depleted supporting cast, the defensive front's dominance, Rhamondre Stevenson's impact, and the biggest takeaways as the Pats improve to 5-3.

WEEI's Justin Turpin joined Rich & Ken w/ Ted Johnson in studio on 93.7 WEEI on Friday, Oct. 30 to talk Patriots ahead of Sunday's trip to Miami. Turp puts his A.J. Brown worry meter at an 8 after the knee news, explains why the Pats shouldn't spend more draft capital before the trade deadline (Jonathan Taylor? A Quenton Nelson-type rental?), and breaks down just how much Drake Maye is carrying a patchwork offense with A.J., Romeo Doubs and Mack Hollins banged up. Plus: why the tight ends should feast on the Dolphins, whether 5-5 at the bye keeps the playoffs in play, why the defense went zone against the Bears, Case Keenum's sideline tip to Caleb Williams, and the Christian Barmore trade rumors.

The Patriots will complete their first cycle through the AFC East this Sunday when they travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins at a stadium that has been a house of horrors for New England. After some self-scouting and rest following the Thursday Night Football “mini-bye,” should the Patriots cruise to a win? Mike Oliva of Dolphins Talk joins Meghan Ottolini and Justin Turpin to discuss why this may not be the pushover win many expect it to be in our behind-enemy-lines Week 8 preview.
