No he hasn't produced more then Chism. And Williams is a lock. That makes 6 WR's.

I think that Hollins has produced more with MAYE than Chism has.

In any case, Chism has indeed produced the 6th most.

I dunno man, I feel like Chism has been more productive then Williams....maybe not.

The production comparison was stated with MAYE. Not the backups. Of course Chism has been more productive if we are counting with backup QBs against 2nd and 3rd strong Ds. I’ve been beating the Chism drum since day 1, but there’s no point comparing him to Williams when we are talking roster spots, cause Williams is not going anywhere!!!

OL could do better... the rookies got some schooling yesterday...

How Patriots’ offensive line fared vs. talented Vikings defense

Today will show us just how well they respond.

I wonder if Bradbury sucks again that we'll see Wilson slide over with Strange back to LG?

 

[Joey007]

No drops today, Kyle!

Or if Brown takes starter snaps?

Yeah.. Or Brown.. I'm hoping that Wilson has supplanted Brown, honestly.. But we'll see.

I think they keep Wilson at LG and the fight is now between Bradbury and Brown. Not my preference, but it seems to be what is happening in camp.

Wilson is a rookie and will make rookie mistakes. That's fine. However, he will be much more valuable if he play one position in his rookie year. That position could have been center. The team decided to develop him at LG instead. That has worked out very, very well so far. I don't see the team moving him now.
=========
So, for Game One, the starters are set.

I think that Brown has made the team as well as Wallace as backup IOL's.

I strongly want Strange to be the 6th, backing up all three IOL positions (#2 LG, #3 C, #2 RG). I suppose Wallace COULD be ahead of him at one of the OG spots. That choice gives us two backups at all three IOL positions. For 2025, that's as good as it gets.

I have a sneaking suspicion they keep one backup for each of the five spots. I have nothing to base that on, but I don't think they're going to rely on a solo swing tackle, solo backup guard or center.

I agree. Yes they are putting players in different position in seeing where they might best fit and also to see if they can play multiple position in case of injury....but that doesn't mean they will go light at a position. They know injuries happen. The rookies and Moses probably won't last a whole season. They will need options.
