offensive line

I was thinking about this last night. New England had Thuney all last season but didn’t have Andrews and I feel like the results this year when they got him back were night and day by comparison in the running game. So I’m curious to know how anyone else feels about this. Nothing negative...

Watched Rams Pats game again tonight and despite D being unable to stop the run the biggest thing that stood out to me was how horrifically crappy our OL played! They could not protect at all and were destroyed in trenches.....can’t give cam a full pass on that because he did have some time...

Disclaimer: Normally I watch the game closely, but today I had a chance to play poker, So with a chance to get out of the house, play in a reasonably safe environment (masks worn, temperatures taken, only 8 of us, including the dealer, in a large well ventilated room), AND the chance to make...

I wanted to highlight a few recent good articles from Football Outsiders on the Pats as they've taken notice of improved play. Film Room: Patriots Passing Game Notes what's working in the past three productive games, play action and the run game. Any Given Sunday: Patriots over Ravens Blow by...

Great win!!!! I think our best game of the season. Harris, Meyers and our O-line played great tonight!! Our defense came up big when they had too!!! I'm very happy and nobody thought we could do it!!!!! Just a great win!!! Let's discuss!!!!!!!!

5 Thoughts on The Patriots Loss To Denver Ian Logue It was a tough afternoon for the Patriots against the Broncos on Sunday and here are some thoughts coming off the loss. Continue reading... (If you enjoyed this entry - hit the Thumbs Up/If not, hit the Thumbs down in this thread)

Rather than go through the normal prodigious detailed review of today's game, time constraints and the fact that I'd rather sleep than bore you with my musings, I thought I'd just offer some disjointed thoughts about this terribly disappointing game. 1. The offense sucked over all. It...

I didn't see anyone start this thread, but just wanted to post Word of Muth's column where he illustrates how the thrown together offensive line played pretty damn well in defeat.

Through a quarter of the season the Pats appear to have a rare commodity in the NFL with 6 starting quality OL: LT Isaiah Wynn LG Joe Thuney C David Andrews RG Shaq Mason RT Jermaine Eluemunor G/T Michael Onwenu They have played a big part in the team's 2nd ranked rushing offense. They are...

Like the great majority of you guys, I had little hope for this game as soon as I heard Cam wouldn't be playing. In fact let's list the obstacles this team had to over come. a. They lost their starting QB and the key factor in their offense just a day before the game was originally going to be...

Three backups started and played well, including two rookies. That is a great tribute to the coaching staff.

RB Damien Harris looks excellent. He put up 101 yards on 17 carries. Big tough runner, hard to bring down. The OLine was missing David Andrews and Shaq Mason tonight. Michel just went on IR. The Patriot QBs were bad all night and Harris faced a stacked box all night. He's a load to bring...

I don't even pay much attention to the bottom of the roster until near game time. At that point I know who is on the roster. Is it just me? In the past, many have agonized about Roster position 51, 52 and 53 and who to put on IR to make room. And yes, this year, we can activate a couple of...

Not too shabby. Kudos to Cole Popovich and Carmen Bricillo.

Patriots Week 1 Report Card: Cam Newton Era Starts Off Strong Steve Balestrieri The Patriots offense rolled up 217 yards on the ground with Newton accounting for 75 of those yards and Julian Edelman 23 more. The running backs took the rest while chipping in four catches for 34 yards. Can the...

OL - I asked two people I trust who were up there this summer and more importantly, who will actually talk to me. "Who was the best group & player from that unit". Both said secondary/OL. One person ... "Defensive Backs but actually the (OL) has been on a mission They've been right there all...

IOL thread. Too tired to get into detail but some guys I've had my eye on bc of versatility ... Connor Olson (R/L Guard & Center), Landon Dickerson (RG), Kevin Jarvis (LT), Trey Hill (RG) M Menet. He's great in pass pro. Quick quick, mover and thinker. Very rarely beat or fooled. ++Balance &...

I'll use this thread to discuss and breakdown the upcoming offensive tackle position. I thought last year's class was very good but next year could be a little better. Like every other position the tackle spot is becoming more athletic every other year. Again just look at last year's class...
