On this episode of NESN's Patriots Podcast, Zack Cox and Dakota Randall react to all the NFL Trade Deadline news and break down the Patriots' reluctancy to make a move at the deadline after falling to 2-6 and seemingly in a prime position to sell. The two discuss New England's mindset behind balancing player personnel transactions while preparing a team for weekly success and how their current system may be ineffective in the modern day NFL. They also recap the Pats 31-17 loss to the Dolphins down in Miami during Week 8 before previewing New England's Week 9 matchup with the Washington Commanders at home.
