Best free agent signing thus far? - New England Patriots Forums

I think it's gotta be Brian Waters. He has been so invaluable to us especially considering our O line situation. I think the O line played well tonight, despite the sacks. With vollmers injury as well as Koppen being out for the year, where would we be without him? He has been more than dependable, in fact I'm wondering why KC parted ways with him.

Easily Waters, and it's not even close.

Let's give Connolly some credit.

I agree, Brian Waters. Mark Anderson hasn't been bad either.

Waters was phenomenal. The whole line was amazing. Many thanks to the clueless Chiefs braintrust.

Waters. Hope we can give him some rest time later in the season.

He's not a young un

Oh for sure, Connolly has stepped up BIG time. I honestly didn't expect the ansition from Koppen to him, to be so fluid.

Yes i Has to be Waters he and Conolly have pretty much shored up the middle. Most of the pressure on Brady was coming from the edges and he can handle that. He struggles (as do most qbs) when it comes up the middle.

Muddy Waters. Can't wait until Seabass comes back. Solder at te. Gronk lined up right to the left of him off of the line. A. Hernandez will be a short-flex te on the right. That team is going to run the ball down team's throats all year if we stay healthy.

The Chiefs had a young player they wanted to start and Waters had too big of a name and was earning too much money to be a backup there. Cutting him wasn't really that bad of a decision.
