PATRIOTS TRAINING CAMP Tuesday Patriots Training Camp Thread 8/13

[Love The Drake]

It makes absolutely 0 sense continuing playing Maye with the 2s. It is only a disservice to Maye development.

The more and more I think about it is that Brissett is AVP’s guy and he is protecting him.

This o line needs a compete tear down.
Especially at the tackle position.
Screw trading for a WR.
Get the kids some protection.

The amount of reps that Brissett is getting is disgusting

They already said he is starting, it doesn’t surprise me.
I’m starting to believe they don’t plan to play Maye at all this season,

Wolf should be on the phone to find a competent LT.

You don't get ON THE PHONE and just 'find' a competent LT. I think that's been pretty conclusively demonstrated. Teams aren't just dealing away 'competent LTs' willy nilly.

Again, I keep hearing this, but give us some names that are available. This was the situation last year, and the two guys that were available via trade were Vedarian Lowe and Tyrone Wheatley. So yeah, go ahead and bring in more of those guys, but it's not going to matter. I think we need to accept that this is a 2025 offseason problem. Until then it's extra blockers, scheme shifts, or bumping Onwenu back to RT and hoping Peters can coach up one of the four other guys to a competent LT. There's no option out there to throw resources at.

Bakhtiari is a free agent. Get on the phone and get him in!

And with a top 5 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft the New England Patriots select....

LT of your choice, and move Wallace over to RT...that goes a long way to fixing the line. Until then, what we have is what we got.

[Wozzy]

Yeah... there are very little resources available out there to fix the offensive tackle position now. There are some very old guys, fossils.

The collaboration should have taken a tackle in the second round, should have signed better tackles in free agency. Do a little of both and this is a pretty well rounded team. Oh well...

Too late now, if they're going to improve it will have to come from within. The young guys have to improve mightily, not sure they can or will.

 

[Headcase]

Bakhtiari is a free agent. Get on the phone and get him in!

If he was worth signing he would be in NY, he is done.

 

[rochrist]

Yes, let's rush right out and put our eggs in the basket of the guy who's missed 32 games in the past three seasons.

Still better than Vedarian Lowe

Patrick Paul is looking pretty good in Miami. Maybe should have gone in that direction vs Polk in Round 2.

Oooofff... don't remind me.

 

[KCSVEN]

Yet he also shows that downside from his college tape where 10% of the time he just throws a ball to no-man's-land randomly or his accuracy is extremely poor.

I watched every throw, didn’t see that, saw 4 throws all year maybe can say that, some are hard to judge but way closer to one percent than 10%

 

[rochrist]

Still better than Vedarian Lowe

No. A guy who is on IR is not better.

 

[Lagaffe_07]

Even if he is starting no matter what, he is a 8 year vet. He shouldn’t that many reps.

 

[Thunderhead]

@rochrist what do you do here besides put negative reactions on every other post?

 

[Love The Drake]

I Woo

I would be combing the waiver wire for tackles.
Maybe we can trade Bourne or Judon for a Tackle?
I would look hard at teams Olines.
This is where Scar shined, coaching up that lunch pail diamond in the rough previous turnstile to a valuable contributor.

Any change we can get Strange to move to tackle?
