I think he has looked really good out there and has helped to solidify the line.
One of the better offseason signings even though he wasn't signed until September 4th.
Very, very very good pickup.
I thought I had read when we picked him up that he was also at one point a backup Center. IF, If that is the case; and we got another RG up to speed I would almost consider moving him as long as Koppen is out. Right now the weak spot on the OL is right over the ball.
You don't want to put Waters at center unless injuries make that absolutely necessary. The center/QB chemistry shouldn't be understated, and Waters probably hasn't shotgun-snapped in a very long time, so that move would be FAR from ideal.
It is good enough that Waters can be the energency (#3) center. We were able to ahve the injured Wendell be inactive on SUnday, because of the ability of Waters to play center if Connolly went down.
Connoly and Waters have both been the mini MVPs of this team so far imo. Let's hope they keep up the good work.
With the pickup of Waters, BB fixed the permanent weakness at RG. The Center also benifits from this.
What do you mean permanent weakness? Neal was a very good player, perhaps the most underrated Patriot in recent history.
Can we find a safety like that?
