Player Signing Patriots sign RT Morgan Moses

[JohnJH]

I actually like Becton more at guard than tackle. Him and Onwenu would be an enormous guard combo.

And, if Marrone can develop him as an OT, then great!

 

[signbabybrady]

Just need that stud LT. Trade something to anyone for one.

Morgan, Onwenwu, and Strange already better than last years line.

I'm looking at Wallace as a RG. Not this season, but he was pegged in the last draft as RG being his best position. Perhaps when they can cut Onwenu when his cap hit is less (or Trade him), Wallace slips in as RG?

I doubt Onwenu is back next year at his current cap number unless they absolutely need him. Wallace could slide inside, like you mentioned, but they still need a long term RT so I doubt they'd move him unless they have to because he's a lost cause at RT. Sow looked decent at RG as a rookie but flopped last year. Robinson was a RG in college but looked terrible last year, mostly as a LG. On paper, both were kind of out of place in zone blocking and might fit better if McDaniels goes back to gap principals.

I'm sure all 3 will be given a chance to develop behind the scenes. if any prove promising, could take over for RG next year. If they all flop, they probably just keep Onwenu for another year or if they still do move on they go get an outside solution. But I definitely think the preference would be one of those guys seizes the opportunity with behind the scenes development and they can move on from Onwenu's huge cap number next year.

I know that it's probably wishful thinking, but I predict a big trade for a WR (perhaps Higgins) before Wednesday, if Cincy just tagged him because they know they can't extend him and want a pick(s) in return. I'm not saying I want it, I just have a feeling it'll happen. If not to us, then to another team.

He's going to be 35 don't like it.

The draft is long term planning. We still need short term stopgaps. He’s still a good player.

Ok but he'll be collecting SS pretty soon: really long in the tooth.

He will play with a cane

Bridge player. Draft another RT and have Moses mentor him.

That's a lot of $$ for a 34 year old Tackle. This screams Okra & Reiff. I hope he can last a year.
But, I won't be surprised if Wallace takes over early because Moses gets hurt.

 

[PatsFan2]

Cam Robinson was always my second choice after Stanley. Other than last year, he has always been an above average or better pass blocker. I will give him a mulligan for last year because everyone sucked on the Jags and he came in late in the season to the Vikes and may never have built a continuity.

Maybe Will Campbell is our Plan B @ LT after a Trade Down hopefully.

On the offensive line, we need to stop the bleeding. He's not going to be here when we come through the other side - but he can keep Maye alive for a couple of years while we're developing the next guy (who probably isn't on the roster yet).

It's Wal-Mart Clearance Rack money.

I see the vision.

 

[Urgent]

PFF lists him as the 64th best OT, 55th best pass blocker, 72nd best run blocker.

For comparison, Lowe was rated 102.
Caedan Wallace 131.

So a big upgrade from worst in the league to below average.

[Water Boy]

Good addition, will solidify the RT spot.

I checked. M-Mo's arms are 35 3/8. He is now eligible for Hall of Fame consideration.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Yikes.

Reiff was starting to break down the couple years prior and okra was benched the year prior. Both bad signs . I get the concern with moses at the age but although hes old he hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down or concern like the other 2. Yet
