Newhouse is honestly one of the worst LT’s I’ve ever seen. I swear it seems that Brady is having to run to his right every other throw
I've seen worse LTs than Newhouse. That being said, he's barely a JAG. We know.
Prior to Newhouse, the Patriots were blessed with a run of LTs that goes from Bruce Armstrong to Matt Light, to Nate Solder to Trent Brown. Sprinkled in there was Tom Ashworth and Sebastian Vollmer. Wynn should end up being another in that long line, but we have to make do for now.
But look what happened to the Pats OT depth. Cajuste ended up not healing properly and it's just been announced he won't play this year.
They signed Veldheer, who should have been a solid swing tackle, only to have him retire 8 days later. Then, they signed Diehlman at the start of TC only to have him retire 3 days later.
That left them in camp with Skipper, Lang, St. Louis, Ivey and Croston. And none of them panned out. And that's despite Croston being in the system for 2 years. St. Louis has some damn good measurables. Looks like he didn't have the ability to pick up the techniques and schemes, unfortuantely.
But, seriously, the Pats thought they'd addressed the OT position in the best way they could with the resources available.
People attempting to 20/20 hindsight this at this point in the season are acting like BB is supposed to be Ms. Cleo and KNOW what's going to happen before it does..
