Breer: Pats out on Robinson, considering an LT by committee approach? (Update: likely fake Reddit post)[3/19: signs w/Texans]

[RobertWeathers]

I think so, but maybe also if they even did pick up Cam, he's not good enough for them to ignore LT high in the draft?

Yep. I think they are drafting LT no matter what. Lowe, Robinson, Matt Light...doesn't matter who is there in 2025.

If they do, then we're ****ed for the foreseeable future.

Lowe is a good backup so yea. Not a 17 game starter

 

[RobertWeathers]

But Houston didn't overpay either; so...?

Yea. He really didn't have a market so something was going on there. Clearly there were some red flags with him for a lot of teams.

I get it. Maybe they think more highly of Lowe and the others on the roster than us.

I dont think Lowe was that bad, i mean probably somewhere in the 25th-32nd range of left tackles and clearly better in pass protection then running but i never got marshall newhouse vibes from him. Obviously someone you want to upgrade but not the end of the world if he is your worst starter and you slide help his way. I think Brady said something along the lines of "at least i know where the pressure is coming from every play" The problem last year was due to injuries Lowe was closer to our best lineman then our worst. Jacobs on the other side was a disaster, a total dumpster fire, and a free jailbreak every other play. Which i think made Lowe look worse cuz he at least held up for 2 seconds so when they are trying to escape from the immediate pressure the other way they run right into Lowe's guy. Anyway my point is Lowe is young and cheap and the remaining options arent a whole lot better for alot more money. I'm glad they tried to upgrade but there just wasnt anyone worth while on the market so im ok sticking with Lowe for now.

Agree. Lowe was not THAT bad but he's not someone we want starting 17 games. Spot-starts/swing tackle type situations are fine.
