OLine's 2-4 Record Crappiness Stabilized, 7 wins in a row now

[DropKickFlutie]

The poor play of the O line this season makes me think the loss of coach Cole Popovich is a big deal.

Cirillo looks to be a terrible OLine coach. And also oline is under the purview of the oc so at what point does this ridiculousness get fixed on the OLine. Just move Onwenu and play Karras.

Can we get Googs back?

Thanks. Bricillo. Doesn't matter the guy sucks and won't be here in 3 months. He was coaching d3 before he came here.

Last week Mac was the leading rusher. This week --1 yards total rushing. And still zero pass protection.

[DropKickFlutie]

For one week, only to go back to the original lineup in week 3? No.

If Brown were out for multiple weeks it would make more sense, but having practiced on Friday leads me to believe he'll be back for the Saints.

I'm curious why you think Durant is "bad". Right now he's an unknown.

What do you think now ?

NESN:

"New England finished the game with a total of -1 rushing yards.

How rare is it for a team to record negative rushing yards in a game? Incredibly.

According to Stathead, the Patriots were just the fourth team to do so since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. The other three were different iterations of the Detroit Lions (2007, 2006 and 1994)."

Was not re-signing Thuney a mistake?

This O-line is in shambles. Wynn is really bad. Got manhandled by that rookie and him getting trucked by Vea was embarrassing.

[DropKickFlutie]

The only teams the last 50 years to have --1 rushing yards were 3 pathetic Lions teams and the mcD 2021 Patriot offense. Another notch on the belt for the fraud oc after leading the worst offense in the league in St Louis in 2011.

It's clearly not working. I can't believe they rolled out Herron/Durant again against Shaq Barrett and thought that was a good idea. It does shed light on how much BB just listens to his staff now even when his staff is totally inept (OLine coach, oc)

 

[IllegalContact]

it actually starts with the run blocking:

Rushing yards week to week:

Week 1 - 125
Week 2 - 101
Week 3 - 49
Week 4 - -1

not a good progression

I wonder if Pats have a shot at getting Mac's old teammate Evan Neal this April.

In the last 50 years, the only teams to run for negative yards in a game are the 2021 mcD Pats offense , and a couple really pathetic Detroit Lions teams.

unless the pats pick in the top 10, he’ll be long gone

Convince me that Thuney wasn’t worth $16M but J. Smith is worth $12.5M

I love thinking through franchise owner decisions as I do this daily anyways in my job.

1. Thuney was worth keeping.
2. Gilmore is worth keeping happy.
3. Agholor and 1 of the tight ends was an overpay, but they had a lot of cap space. Again would have spent this on Gilmore and Thuney instead. Also would have gone out and gotten a great big fat nose tackle elite at run defense.
3. 2 expensive tight ends is only worth it if you know how to use 2 TE's on the field. This OC clearly does not. The past game only had 12 personnel (2 TE's) 24% of the plays, we were in spread shotgun 60% of the snaps which is the only thing this oc has known how to do going back to 15 yrs ago when he learned the only things he knows from Urban Meyer (learned zero else, no TE play and no Oline play still after 15 years).
4. At what point does the Einstein quote about idiocy repeating the same mistake over again, apply ??
This OLine DOES NOT WORK. Continuity is a BS excuse given they keep rotating Herron/Durant every 12 minutes.

Play: Trent Brown - Wynn - Andrews- Mason - Onwenu.

Yeah, Wynn really needs to be kicked inside to LG. This is assuming that Brown comes back on healthy enough legs to play LT, though. If he can’t, that line may be just as bad, if not worse, than what we have right now. Not sure which, really, since Durant is a disgrace to the uniform.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

Never play Herron/Durant ever ever again.

Play Karras at LG.

Put Onwenu at RT.

Trent Brown is a durable gentle-giant elite pass blocker LT. Stop playing him at RT, Trent is NOT a RT.
Play Trent at LT and Onwenu at RT.

Wynn looks horrible this year.

//


If they play Herron/Durant again at RT I am going to be relentless about firing the OLine coach and OC.

Yeah, Wynn is looking like he’s on track to be another failed pick from the Creepy Caserio Er(ror)a.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Even though it was hardly funny at the time I couldn’t help but lol at Wynn dropping his head in shame on the false start that last drive... which he somehow got away with.
