How Drake Has been Supported this Offseason!

[Real fan 02]

Great post Real Fan! I would've liked to have seen if Pierce made it to FA. If I had to chose, I'd rather sign Pierce than Doubs. Doubs has shown flashes, but has disappointed after he roasted Stephon Gilmore in the 2023 Wild Card game. I thought that game was going to be his coming out party going forward.

I don't feel comfortable with Wilson at C at all, but Lindenbaum was way overpaid.

Pats needed better blocking at TE and hopefully they got it with the FA and draft pick.

AVT at G is better than nothing, but his injury history scares me. If he goes down, Pats are in trouble.

Taking a T in the 1st round was the right thing to do.

Defense is pretty much the same aside from Byard, Jones and Jacas being the most significant additions.

Thank you Rain. You're illustrious post and expertise is always gladly appreciated brother! Yeah.. we all as fans understand that last season was the setting of the culture and we got an immense lift by winning and getting immediate buy-in from guys. Wilson was actually starting at C last training camp early on and I remember following some coverage of camp from Paul perillo and it was questions about Bradbury as Wilson was getting snaps over him. Moving Bradbury was the right thing he was solid last season but nothing particularly special. I believe Wilson will be better in his more natural position.

I don't think Vrabel's going to leave himself thin at OG knowing AVTs injury history. AVT has said he's 100% healthy and has gotten with the teams staff on some training regime different than what he's said he's down before. Who knows coming from that Jets stench right? Players could have faked injuries not to have to play.

Yes. T tackle was the way to go.. as Cowden said recently having to many OL is a good problem for a team to have. Your right Linderbaum was vastly overpaid for a C who vastly benefits from Lamar and Henry.

Pass rush, pass rush, pass rush I cannot state this enough. It helps the offense and allows guys on defense to be fresher late in games when you need that burst you had in the first quarter to make a play on 3rd down. We lacked in pressure, sacks and turn overs wich should vastly improve with the added edge rush and the addition of Byard at FS and our excellent CBs. On Doubs he was in a deep wr room so he likely wasn't going to be say a 1,200 wr guy in that GB offense. He will have better opportunities here in a very multiple offense with AJ taking attention and Doubs can then eat up 2nd and 3rd DBs. His route running is supreme and he can beat man coverage something our WRs in the post season couldn't do!
