Cole Strange Activated for Cards Game... but wasn't active... Cuz We Can't Have Nice Things...

[signbabybrady]

Only a true arsehole would know what a bum is.

 

[Real fan 02]

wouldn't mind finding a vet like Mike Compton to bring in... if any are available

Don't laugh me off the forum but Benny brown isn't terrible.. he would be nice to keep around for back up duties. Sadly he's probably the best of the worst on the line.

 

[Real fan 02]

I'm still familiarizing myself with who might be available in FA and/or trade for 2025. At present, I'm not sure.

Yeah.. with OL it's very difficult becuase all the average to good OL are all signed up.. It's appears unless something happens that we are hitting the draft in search of those guys. We need a steady, Matt light type LT for Drake.

Got no problem with keeping him, running him thru camp ... Hes not a starter, but He's earned a shot at being a swing g/c... plus he's an exclusive rights free agent next year... Cheap to keep, as it were

It seems like those players don’t exist anymore. They are either really good or really bad.

where have you gone Joe DiMaggio Russ Hochstein

How about Brian Waters in 2011? Granted, he wouldn't have gone there had they not been a contender. What a great signing that was. I just watched highlights from a 2011 game and he really jumped off the screen in some plays. I've always been a fan of his since KC clearing out holes for Priest Holmes. He was also an excellent pass blocker.

Compton was such an under the radar signing. Also, guys like Brian Cox, Roman Phifer, Terrell Buckley and Anthony Pleasant aren't available anymore. The drop off in quality of players is glaring these days. This is an example of how BB's connection to NY Jets got many of those players to join him in New England. Mayo doesn't have these connections to recruit.

To your point... Bobby Hamilton and Otis Smith ... 2000 ... Straight from the jets...

So many quality veterans... Be one hell of a list to put together

Mayo has no cache... Needs about 5 more years as a bona fide DC before being ready to take on his current role

 

[captain stone]

If nothing more, I want to see if he's truly worth keeping beyond this season. That'll give us an idea if we need even more OL players than we know that we already need.

Strange69 is signed through next season; no need to make a decision like that until training camp ends…

 

[stinkypete]

I thought we drafted Strange cuz we couldn't have nice things.

He played everywhere, on one leg, spittin' blood and holding on for dear life. Best of times.

Strange Working Exclusively at Center

"Offensive line coach Scott Peters said Strange, who was drafted in 2022 to play guard, has been working exclusively at center since returning to practice, while Wallace is focused on right tackle. Peters wouldn’t say when he expects those players to return, but noted both are progressing."

Mayo should have put more emphasis on taking one of his many options as DC outside the organization. Get that experience elsewhere to add with his experience he had here. He'd have been better off doing so... it's ending badly for him.. with losses to end the 2024 season no matter what ownership has said it's hard to envision Mayo back next season.

Mayo's got no connection as a coach. As as a former player he's highly respected throughout the league. However it's ending badly for him.. hard to see him back especially with losing out the rest of the season. I think he should just be given a position in the front office.

While acknowledging that he will have the offseason, OTAs & TC to devote to his possible transition to Center, I sure wouldn't mind seeing him there during at least one of our last three games.

Given the overall quality of OL play all season I’m not sure how I feel about Peters undertaking the conversion of Strange from guard to center.

Shame on Peters for not being able to coach up the worst talented OL in the NFL, and one that had lots of injuries.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Looks like Strange has officially been moved to Center. Great move imo, I would like to see him become the long term answer there.

I think he’s right about how well he fits the needs for that position.

When the OL makes mistakes in games, then repeats them in the next game, and the coaches don’t fix it by either eliminating mistakes or playing players that don’t make those mistakes, yes shame on those coaches.

When the quality of play regresses and gets worse the more the coaches coach the OL, yes shame on those coaches.
