Um, he is a very good defensive coach. Did you forget that?

It’s just his boss made a grievous error last year having him be OC and OL coaches. That gave the rest of the League plenty of LOL moments.

Mafi should be fine covering one of the two now vacated guard positions, but not sure who mans the other one. Russey...?

Russey's not on the 53. He's on the PS and wasn't elevated.

Given the oline situation we're in for about a 60-40 run pass, if not more...

We’re probably ****ed down 3 OL starters but this is why they play the game.

You're right. So it has to either be Jake Andrews or one of the right tackles playing guard.

Maybe Sow? He didn't rep at guard in preseason that I'm aware of but he was OK enough as a tackle. Not sure how much guard experience Wheatly Jr and Lowe have.

They’re definitely Fd, worst game of the year to be banged up on the offensive line, this is no doubt the best front they’re facing all year.

IDK, if the Pats were depleted at tackle, I would agree. But who is going to open holes for Rham and Zeke? I may think it could be a short passing game type of game. Let Mac get the ball out quick. But there could be a lot of RPOs that could give them the 60/40 split.

 

[DaBruinz]

Guard possibilities:
Mafi, Sow, J. Andrews, Wheatley, Lowe.

Should have saved the Brady game for a game we’d easily win like colts if they didn’t go to Germany.

Detroit didn’t let their top six OL guys play a preseason snap. Starting to make sense to me.

 

[Froob]

Be interesting to see how Bob coaches around 3 big question marks on the OL. May see quite a bit of extra Ts in playing TE
