Back in the day, most guys kept a "metal pile" somewhere on their place. When you needed to fabricate something, you'd go out to the metal pile to see if there an old bed frame or a slab of diamond plate you could make useful in meeting your needs. Often, you wouldn't find what you need, but often too you would find the castoff thing you needed to get the job done at least in a half-arsed manner. That's the Pats. (Yep, I still keep a metal pile and an old buzzbox welder in the garage.)

Wolf has made a few under the radar additions the past couple days. All sound intriguing:

LT: Demontrey Jacobs 6’6 315, was on Denver's practice squad all last season, long arms

LT-G: Zachary Thomas 6’5 308, played a few games for the Rams last season, ran a 4.96 40

C: Bryan Hudson 6’5, 300, rookie from Louisville, cut by Detroit

DT: Eric Johnson 6’4 299, played 28 games for Indy the past 2 years, ran a 4.89 40

Edge: Ochaun Mathis 6'5" 250, played 8 games for the Rams last year

(edit) LB: Curtis Jacobs 6'1 240, from Penn St, coverage LB had good preseason with Chiefs

Color me unimpressed if they were any good they would have made their previous Rosters. We'll get what we paid for.

I don't know. We were talking about the potential of Wheatley and Lowe this time last year. Where'd that get us.

Lowe is our starting left tackle, so there's that.

He is a legitimate backup tackle considering the league's tackle situation.

Meanwhile, there's at least two starting offensive linemen in the NFL we cut a few years back, so it's not a lost cause.
