You mean to tell me there is no one out there for a depth signing better than Ferentz. I do not believe it.
Because if all of the practice reps and coaching and game experience he's gotten over the last 6 years had gone to 6 different UDFAs, I bet we'd have unearthed one decent backup out of the lot. At least there'd have been a chance, however much of a longshot you may consider it.I don't know why I'm surprised at the reactions here... we do it every year. People forget that off season signings don't happen in the order of greatest need, or by greatest talent. You get a bunch of these small, depth signings first because they're super easy to hash out, and the Patriots actually have the rights to negotiate with them right now.
You had one last year, Hines.I have a boatload of suggestions:
how about free agents Matt Skura, Kyle Fuller, Garrett Bradbury, Will Hernandez, Nate Herbig
or any of the 4 6th round draft picks they have for a rookie like: Darian Dalcourt (ALA), Trevor Downing (Iowa State), Nick Samac (MSU)

Greg Bedard reported during last season that Ferentz and Andrews were tasked with instructing their fellow offensive linemen because teaching was not Billy Yates strongpoint and the OL coach was also the OC and chief architect of the new football training facilities.Signed for depth and motivation for Russey IMO. Maybe Ferentz is a good teacher…who knows. Starters don’t always have time for that.
I hadn't heard that Yates had issues teaching.... But then, it IS Bedard making the claim..Greg Bedard reported during last season that Ferentz and Andrews were tasked with instructing their fellow offensive linemen because teaching was not Billy Yates strongpoint and the OL coach was also the OC and chief architect of the new football training facilities.
What's the point of a position coach who can't teach?Greg Bedard reported during last season that Ferentz and Andrews were tasked with instructing their fellow offensive linemen because teaching was not Billy Yates strongpoint and the OL coach was also the OC and chief architect of the new football training facilities.

So the nightmare continues of a guy who should be coaching with his dad at Iowa being brought back. The dude can’t physically match up with top tier nfl talent.
But he’s an Iowa kid. Dad has history with Bill.
Does this mean we draft Van Ness in the first round after a trade back this year?
