It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Yes, we are much better with Onwenu at RT over Lowe.Hey everyone, anyone else notice how solid the Pats are when Onwenu starts at right tackle? Our record’s better, the run game picks up, and QBs seem to breathe easier. Plus, he’s been a quick fix for a shaky O-line in past seasons.
Thoughts?
I'd prefer Thornton. We need downfield speed.He need to be our new RT, and Boutee needs to replace JSS/Parker as wr3.
Per Reiss et al., they asked Onwenu if he'd be comfortable switching, and he's been practicing there all week.
They didn't commit one way or the other on him playing there next week.
Ideally, they’d be interchangeable depending on the play call.I'd prefer Thornton. We need downfield speed.
Should force the Pats to lock him up now BB values that kind of versatility. Mac looked a lot more comfortable knowing he didn't have direct line from RT to him.You'd think Owenu would prefer to be a RT rather than an OG as the compensation is higher there...
With good protection from the current O-line we should be able to get long developing plays down field. We need Tyquan's Big play ability downfield.I'd prefer Thornton. We need downfield speed.
The problem is if injuries occur....back to square one. I don't know what is going on with Anderson and I thought McDermott would be passable but he was hurt as well. Mafi and Lowe aren't good enough for backup roles and struggle so much that I wanted Ferentz in the game lol.
I thought Mac played significantly better after the bears game. We lost due to lot of self inflicted wounds.I've said since the offseason, today's version of the offensive line is their best version.
Whether Sow or Onwenu play right tackle doesn't really matter. I'm sure they prefer having the vet out there on an island so Onwenu gets the nod.
This is all well and good, but the offensive line started really improving back in week three against the Jest's.
If Mac has really turned a corner they can win some games, but we've seen him pretend to do this before. Last year after Gillette was chanting Zappe's name, Mac improved and stopped turning the ball over as much... it didn't last.
We'll see whether Mac builds off this win, or regresses like he has done before. Been waiting three years for him to level up, I expected it to be this season... still waiting.
