Cole Strange Activated for Cards Game... but wasn't active... Cuz We Can't Have Nice Things...

[Real fan 02]

Some good news for once... No matter your opinion on Strange he is one of the better lineman we have... Instant upgrade to the left side of the line ... Well, after he knocks the rust off... Still no timetable set for his return

Patriots guard Cole Strange breaks silence after major injury update

New England Patriots guard Cole Strange broke his silence with an injury update earlier this week. He spoke to the Boston Globe’s Christopher Price on Thursday and indicated a return might happen soon. Strange has been out of action since 2023 after suffering a s

Thanks for sharing. Good hear he's progressing. I doubt he playes this season with 7 games left.

I'm shocked!

Archstanton doesn't agree?

If he can play, he should play.

 

[TheRainMaker]

I agree with both sides.

One part of me wants to shut him down because rushing players back can cause another and potentially serious injury as your body overcompensates for the weaker body part.

The other part agrees to get as many of your best players you can out there to surround Maye.

In a perfect world sure!

I get your point we are bad on Offense but just as talent Devoid on Defense. We Need a lot of players: If this Team sleep walks in FA 25 I done with them forever.

Yikes I hadn’t thought of that.

I agree, would be good to know to if he should be penciled in as a starter, hate to wait until training camp to find out he’s a backup.

Ah shucks PF2.. don't quit on me yet.. I promise you I'll be throwing bombs to Higgins and baker next season.. my new OC dabol will open things up for me.

Anybody know why we haven't signed that Guy below yet?? He still have threads left on his tires and when fully healthy is bett than what we currently have. Having Humphries in the fold next year with Cole Strange and a Rookie LT with upside could work wonders.

Blew out his ACL less than a year ago and didn't look ready to play a couple of weeks ago when the Giants had him in for a look.

This is why they have such a difficult time against competent offenses.

They need upgrades along the edges. White and Jennings are atrocious pass rushers.

Bentley and Tavaii look like the are running with cement blocks on their feet against the better offenses.

They need to rework the 3/4’s of the secondary.

Don't forget Layden Robinson. Haven't seen him lately and sounds like he might be coming off IR soon.

Bentley and Tavai are old school doen hill thumper. They aren't good in space. Yes white is a good interior rusher who is asked to play outside becuase they have no one else. Jennings is the best edge player we have.. and that's telling considering he's a run stuffer. Now with Barmore, Bentley and peppers the unit would be significantly better against the run.

Pass rushers I can't stress enough as you have perfectly stated the secondary has been exposed without the pass rush and the heady play of peppers back there. Gonzo is a stud, but he needs help.

I don't agree that White is atrocious, he doesn't have much help.

Lets see how many horse collars he gets away with (or doesn't) this week.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

They could throw a flag on every play if they wanted to.
He's young, I believe the upside is there.

I think the opposite is true. Had Strange been a 4th round pick people would see him as a good pick, it’s his 1st round status that has people down on him.

1st round or 4th round, he’s a guard who would be a backup on most teams.

 

[varjao]

You don't spend a first round pick on a guard in these days unless it's a generational player and they usually dont play college in Chatanoonga or whatever.

 

[TheRainMaker]

I don't agree that White is atrocious, he doesn't have much help.

He had Barmore all season in 2023 and was invisible. Barmore on the other hand, didn’t have any help and had a career year as an interior rusher.

Teams got tape on White and have shut him down since week 2. If White shoots blanks the rest of the season, that’s not a good look.
