Player Signing Patriots sign C Ben Brown to 53

[Clonamery]

Ben Brown. 26 years old, Undrafted, 15 snaps in 1 game (7 ST's) in 2023 with Seattle.

If you squint at his picture he looks a little like David Andrews. A legend is born.

I love how people want Strange to play C. He took at few snaps at C in the senior bowl. That's it. He doesn't have a long history of playing that position.

Not much, but there’s a little more to it than that. He did play center in an actual college game.

To the nay sayers.

Well Tell him to get Healthy!!!

His injury is the kind that ends careers. He'll be lucky to play football again. Look up patellar tendon injuries. A lot of football players could not come back from that. That knee will be severely limited regardless. 12 month recovery time if you even make it back.

You think they'll just shut him down this year??

Holy **** they signed a vet! Hopefully they don’t move him to LT for god knows why…Dude will be ready to play in 3 weeks I say. Could be good for drake working with a vet other than andrews and the others. If he ****s up shotgun snaps I’ll lose it. As much as people dislike Strange, I’m a fan and hope he’s back soon. Mr Andrews needs to get the surgery so he can play with a good qb (drake) then ride off into the sunset and retire. Rotator cuff injuries are no joke but can be repaired nicely via surgery. If no surgery, chances of it being reinjured are high. Did mine years ago, no surgery, still clicks and hurts when raising my arm. Then he should come back and coach OL. I think he was coached by scar a little so maybe take the mantle.

@Zuma im curios if you know this as fact. If so what gives it away? Things I usually see that gives it away I don’t see.

Actually I was just joking. You are correct.

Strange does not have the build for a C. He took a few snaps at C at the Senior Bowl lol. Seriously people. He's built a lot more like a T then a C.

There are a few (what is normal humans) smaller centers playing. Think 6’2 300lbs. Maybe even smaller. Personally I think strange’s size wouldn’t be an issue there. His lack of xp would be. Also he’d be better suited as a T. If they’re truly going zone, they need more like him.

It would really be quite helpful if Strange could play center. And hurry up and get back already.

It would, but at the same time I'm tired of the Pats trying to play OL away from their natural positions.

Dude, this vet has 8 snaps at Center in 3 years in the NFL. Maye has as many snaps at QB in the NFL.

 

[PancakeBlockPaul]

I know but technically he’s a vet. I get it though. . Didn’t we have some cfl OL dude that was great there? Wonder why that didn’t work out. Guess they thought the dude screwing up shotgun snaps preseason was better. **** maybe that was last year…

Miss the days a Nate Solder Prime. Hey maybe we can bring him out of retirement!

I go back even further than Pat Harlow.

The ghost fatty old man hog Hannah may work too.

If Strange comes back healthy and his former self, he is instantly their best option at center.

This may not happen, it may not happen this season, but if it does... this is not even a question.

No one but Strange and the doctors and trainers know the answers to these questions.

Is Pete Brock available?
