PostGame Thread 2026 Official Postgame Thread: Patriots close out preseason w/37-13 loss to the Browns

[PatsFan2]

They are still better than the Patriots. And with the game being in Seattle, it's looking like a loss. Spread will probably be similar to the SB.

After that: vs Steelers, @Jags, @Buffao.

It would be amazing to come out of that stretch at 2-2.

No doubt The Sea Hags have a very good Team especially on Defense. I think Maye will be much better prepared this time around: also I think our Offense will be better than last time. Not saying we're going to win but stranger things have happened. I am intrigued to see our Starting Defense play: they weren't the reason why we lost the SB. Our OLinemen got man handled I hope it's in the back of their minds.Wilson @ Center - Vera -Tucker @ Guard and healthy Will Campbell should do wonders.

Vrabel probably moved Hudson from tackle to guard because he had too many tackles. I doubt Hudson makes it past Sunday.

Hudson was moved to guard because they have only 4 interior people for 3 positions.

If there are a couple of gameday injuries who have they prepared as a 5th interior backup?

I can't think of anyone.

James Hudson III is not very good sorry.

Hudson has looked less bad at tackle might be a better way to say that. He was dogshit on the Giants last year so he has a track record.

I think Hudson was ok at tackle during camp.

There is no one else for 5th backup on the interior. They gave the other tackles close to zero reps there.

Why would they only prepare Hudson?

Unless Ben Brown is returning, which is possible, how else would we explain this?

Rizy, Conley
last year, the active 5th was often Wallace or nobody or someone that is signed to the PS on Monday and elevated.

The Coaches are not perfect they thought Caedan Wallace was a football player; cut em some slack.

I didn't think it was possible, but Rizy is worse than Hudson.

Conley is a possibility I guess.

Hey, they got something for that guy. One of the Great Moments in Front Office History.

They had a Guard last night who was a Turnstile I don't even care to know his name. Hope he's bagging groceries Monday morning: because Football will not be his thing.

So many of them looked bad.

I really don't have faith in Lomu or Crossover yet. And who knows with Bryant. None of them have really been tested.

They guaranteed Hudson almost half of his salary.

You're probably right, but I'm not positive he's a goner. Tackles are a tough position to find.

Who did they have last year as a 5th interior backup? It is someone on the practice squad. Same every year.

Wallace,

But he never dressed so I guess that's a point.

Dude Sucks. I hope they didn't play him last night because they intend on keeping him .

You said that often about Gibson. I don’t think Jam or Lan suck…just different styles.

I like Jam for an early down role.
He's more like Rham than Trey.
If Rham was to go down, Jam would be the most suitable replacement.
He's not overly elusive or dynamic, but he's quite physical despite his stature.
He was also a pretty good receiver for Bama in limited opportunities.
I like Larison too, but he's more of a limited snap, all around type of guy (the Burkhead comps are not by accident).

Jam is a bigger slower 1st down Dion Lewis….his jump cut is killer. He has a higher ceiling in that regard than Lan. Lan is Rex Burkhead…not as dynamic with the ball but is an excellent 3rd down receiving back. Lan is a tough dude but his kamikaze style of running will get him hurt more so then Jam. IMO Rex’s style of running is not sustainable for very long.
