The Patriots have just two games remaining on their schedule, but it doesn\u2019t look like they\u2019ll be able to get through them without addressing a few problems.<\/p>\n

\"Patriots<\/p>\n

Keion White has an issue with how things are going down at One Patriot Place.<\/p>\n

MassLive\u2019s Karen Guregian published a story on Friday that outlined his issues, which flipped a season full of promise into one the soft-spoken defender is just trying to escape.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to try to get through these next two games, and then figure it out after that, and see where the cards may lie for my future,\u201d White said, startling those who penciled him in for a long career in New England. \u201c\u2026 Just in general. In terms of everything. I mean, anything is possible. It\u2019s the NFL. Anything can happen year to year. It\u2019s a production-based business. It is what it is. You just figure out where you go \u2026 something\u2019s gotta change. That\u2019s the way I feel at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n

White didn\u2019t mince any words, huh?<\/p>\n

\"Sunday<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been an extremely frustrating year for everyone down in Foxboro, Mass., but what exactly is at the root of the 25-year-old\u2019s troubles? White pointed toward himself, clearly holding angst toward his own play in the run game \u2014 which has been an issue for the entire defense lately \u2014 while avoiding details about those around him.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the honest truth. I operate in black and white\u2026 I feel like I\u2019m not playing good run defense. It\u2019s a multitude of reasons why. It\u2019s an internal thing we need to figure out,\u201d White said. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s just one thing. I think it\u2019s a lot of things. First and foremost, it\u2019s me. I need to improve me, and being on the same page with what the coaches want. I think it\u2019s a lot of other things as well. Without going too much into details, that\u2019s how I feel.\u201d<\/p>\n

White did a decent job not throwing his coaches under the bus, but watching games over the last several weeks will tell you what he\u2019s upset about.<\/p>\n

The Patriots are essentially trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, as their most disruptive interior player has been kept out on the edge playing in a containment role for several weeks. It\u2019s not just an issue against the run, either, as only one of his five sacks has been recorded since Week 3. White hasn\u2019t been good at setting the edge, but ever-decreasing depth on that edge has forced him to stay in a spot he clearly isn\u2019t comfortable.<\/p>\n

Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo, as well as outside linebackers coach Drew Wilkins, commended the second-year defender for his honesty regarding the entire situation. Wilkins doesn\u2019t seem to view it as a huge deal, however, saying the growth of a young player is never \u201clinear\u201d and that he believes things would improve.<\/p>\n

New England would do itself a favor by making some changes, however, because things clearly aren\u2019t working out right now.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n
