Of course OL struggles. Brown has only been back 1 day, Andrews in and out, and the rest are backups and rookies.
Give it a little time. But, boy do we need Strange & Onwenu to be healthy all year.

This would be great in the news from other camps thread.

He was trying to preemptively quiet the chicken littles and the fellowship of the miserable here, by pointing out the Jets joint practice struggles. I’m fine with that.

How did the defense look?

 

[jimnance]

make a business decision. To lie down and roll over.

Just shoot the mfer

 

[Sam Bam Cunningham]

The most important part of practice is decision making. Let’s practice making risky decisions doesn’t lead to good game results.

Absolutely. Would like to see him cutdown on interceptions and know when to throw it away or take the sack

"OL struggled with pressure and penalties"

Not ideal.

Also not even remotely surpising to anyone who has been following off season reports.

The more Boutte shows up the more I question if Bourne is on this roster or traded for Oline help?

How about he does something in a game first?

For the coaches, today was his first game.

Sorry, I had to post this again for Zeke's first Patriots practice.

Everyone is in such a hurry to get rid of Bourne. He was our best receiver in 2021 before getting into Patricia's doghouse in 2022.

Yep, #1 in league DVOA when targeted in 2021.

For the last four years. Will the song ever stop?

This, and let's see how the line looks through next week before we start trading pieces to fix something that might not be broken. It looks like they should have everyone back by then except for Anderson.

There is no Oline help to be had. Nearly every team is complaining about their Oline depth. See the Jets practice today.

The fact that Onwenu travelled with the team is very encouraging - likely means he is at least somewhat close to a return.

We have decent depth at Guard/Center, and worse case is Onwenu kicks out to play RT.

My guess is that they are trying to figure out if Sow can start at RT or needs more seasoning. They have brought him along very quickly here - 10 days ago he was still taking 3rd team reps.
