Joe Thomas might literally have the worst offensive line take of all time:

The five starters at the time of the tweet all went on to start for other teams.

Agreed, being a great player doesn't equate to being great at everything. Some guys just suck at the job.

 

[mike_usagisan]

Now that Judon is gone, Douglas is maybe my favorite Patriot. David Andrews is pretty high up there, too.

 

[Thunderhead]

Hope Joe is ready to be offended to the core of his being. Maybe by week 7 our LT will know how to line up.

Wait wtf? This seems like a rancid take, my god. The below line could never start on any other team?

Starters at that time:

Left Tackle - Isaiah Wynn - Okay, sure, he wasn't great but he did start elsewhere at points
Left Guard - JOE THUNEY - Are you on drugs right now? JOE THUNEY can't start anywhere else? Oh oops he's got like 3 or 4 rings by now as a starter between the Pats and Chiefs
Center - Ted Karras - Currently still starting for the Super Bowl caliber Bengals and is well respected. I'm sure Burrow just hates him though!
Right Guard - Shaq Mason - solid starter, currently starting for the Texans, also started for the Bucs
Right Tackle - Marcus Cannon - was at the end of his career but obviously was a good player and had had a very good career, knew what he was doing, and did start elsewhere for the Texans for a time

This really is one of the worst takes I've ever seen lol

Baringer is up there

When you look at our OL drilling it's even more amazing how impressive Andrews is.
He's a pretty small guy relatively speaking. He looks small next to most OL, and yet he's never being manhandled physically.
Sure, he loses some reps. But, he's turned into an all-time Pats OL, especially leading a very bad young team.

Patriots sign Brevin Allen DE/OLB (Edge) to the PS. Not a lot to find on the guy..

I thought the LSU kid had a chance to be signed to the PS as Andrews insurance; he instead loses-out to this dude...?

 

[captain stone]

That left side absolutely ****ing Sucks.

 

[captain stone]

Nobody's claiming that ****ing stiff.

 

[mgteich]

That left side absolutely ****ing Sucks.

yes

Let's TRY no to judge each day's OL.

Since Bissett is starting, I'll be fine to wait to see what the OL that starts two game is a row is like.
=========
Just BTW, it is you that wanted Sow to move to left guard for a very long time.

 

[captain stone]

What Cornerbacks?

 

[mgteich]

Nobody's claiming that ****ing stiff.

Folks said the same about Jordan.
We each have our binkies and those that we think aren't worth anyone's roster.

 

[captain stone]

They better be working on something, that's for sure.

That's Leverett (#51) at LG, not the Sow (#62).

C'mon dude, are you going to give them a trophy or a treat when they make potty?

The OL has proven to be bad, fundamentally bad. The coaches need to do their jobs and start with teaching the fundamentals, something Scar was known for.

Yeah, I agree. But we're way past the walking stage.
