The terrible OLine is giving Mac bad habits. If you see Mac continue to get happy feet, or his bravery changes and he starts skipping more passes, then this season was a disaster in creating bad habits for our rookie QB.
Herron and Durant suck. Not worth trying them and then swapping them out at halftime. A scrub is a scrub. They aren't going to magically get better at RT.
.
Do you even WATCH the games or the replays after it? 2 of the 3 sacks were the direct result of a TE or RB missing a key block, and the 3rd was the result of a brilliant scheme that worked perfectly (those guys get paid too). Granted the OL hasn't lived up to their pre-season clippings, but you want to drastically wrench the line apart and throw away 2 months of work....on a whim of yours. Why if it were up to you, you would have pulled Brady after the first Miami game in 2001.
Do yourself a favor and watch the myriad of clips that show up on a lot threads, or order the all 22 for review, THEN we might take your hot takes more seriously.
BTW- you want to see a OLman get REALLY scrubbed, check out any clips you might see of the Dallas/Chargers games. Micah parson's schools their back up RT who had to start on literally EVERY play. I only watch the game periodically, but every play Parsons was on this guy it was no contest. Run plays, pass plays, it didn't matter.
BTW- when stuff like that happens (a physical mismatch) and it does, I blame the coaching more than the player, because when it becomes apparent to them and they don't do something to help the guy, it's THEIR fault. The Pats kept THEIR TE's in quite a bit, and sometimes it STILL didn't work out.
As for OUR RT situation, while it may become moot, if Brown returns, but the Pats have 3 options at the position. 1. Brown returns and this thread dies a worthy death. 2 either Herron or Durrant get better. You know players DO get better, and both Herron and Durrant have had their good moments too. 3. Cajuste comes back and continues to show the improvement we saw in pre-season. Either way, I believe are better solutions than the OL reboot you suggest
BTW- IF Brown was out for the season or have to go on IR, THEN your idea would have some merit after options 2 and 3 have been tried. Please remember that EVERY OLman (at least those not in the HOF, have had their games were they have been schooled. Also Remember that playing OL in the NFL winning 80% of the time means you will soon be looking for a job. There isn't much of margin of error for those guys. Win 3 out of 10 in baseball and your IN the HOF.
I'm pretty sure Brown will be back this week, lets see how it goes before we tear it apart.
