Content Post Connor McDermott

Conor McDermott? love him as a swing tackle... if he's relatively cheap, no issues keeping him aroiund

 

[upstater1]

Any thoughts on Steuber? He just came back to practice, potential starter?

I only remember what I read in his pre-draft scouting. He was described as very stiff and immobile, which made me truly wonder why we drafted him. Granted, a 7th rounder.

I think he's a mountain who is maybe hard to get around if he gets his paws on you.

But I've never seen him play; and I watched Michigan in several games last year, so I don't know why I didn't know of him.

we need to see him play in real games first before making that kind of assessment

I've been critiquing him long before Ashley's post, as I've watched a lot of him in games. He is the worst tackle I've ever seen for the Patriots outside Marshall Newhouse. Eluemenor and Herron would've been improvements, maybe Korey Cunningham. I get that we have no one else to turn to. But that's why we went to WR screens, because of McDermott.

Cunningham is a good mention, because he was an option (Giants PS). So were Yasir Durant (Saints), William Sherman (Broncos), Arlington Hambright (Colts), Sebastian Gutierrez (Raiders…the pizza guy from earlier this season), and Jordan Steckler (Texans…was with the Patriots in 2020). While needing an OT on such short notice isn’t great, they had a remarkable amount of decent candidates. I’m not sure that’s the case at any other position.

McDermott is the only healthy Tackle at the moment
Patriots list 5 starters as DNP on injury report, Conor McDermott is only healthy tackle

Thats from 8 Dez? still the case?

You should know I guess.

Err, ok

My bad I did not see that. Never the less...

You can't keep 5 backup LTs. They should have kept one more though in addition to Cajuste. Just a bad decision to trade Herron.

Herron was a turnstile this spring coming off a bad year. Not sure he was our guy, especially since we were able to get a draft pick for him. I agree though, if 4 OT weren't on the team, one should have been on the practice squad. I didn't think much of it when we traded Heron though because I always thought there was the possibility of moving Onwenu back out to RT if needed.

A couple of weeks is all it takes for the trolls to elevate some back-up to Canton.

You mean "homers" not "trolls". Trolls on a fan board are always negative about the team.

The Herron situation is really a philosophical matter of whether you believe he still would have torn his ACL had he not been traded. I just struggle to think a guy on crutches is the missing piece.

Calling it now, 1st team All-Pro.

 

[State]

Bye, bye Wynn.

 

[patsfanfromoversea]

He played well on Sunday, but he was awful against the Cards. I think we need to see how he does going forward before he can be anointed the future RT.

maybe juts needs some reps to get things going, we'll see and hope

 

[patsfanfromoversea]

Bye, bye Wynn.

this happens unrelated anyway, marshall newhouse 2.0

I thought Herron had a decent year last season, but a horrible camp this one.

Are you talking about 2022, or 2023?

 

[mgteich]

So we're discussing whether a couple of Practice Squad players will be ready to start in 2023? If our coaching at OL is so good that they can make quality starters out of a 7th rounder and a Practice Squad player, then prospects for 2023 are great.

 

[captain stone]

Regarding McDermott specifically, I have no problem re-signing him to a ONE-year, NON-guaranteed, Vet Minimum contract to have him compete for - certainly not be given - the Swing Tackle job...

We still need Two brand-spankin'-new starting-caliber Offensive Tackles: Lose/Lose & Cachoo are Finished here; Cannon's washed-up, same as he was 3 YEARS AGO; and Trent F uck 'em Brown can go...well...F uck Off.
