Patriots/NFL 2024 Off Season: Free Agency, Draft Part III

[Bruinswillwin77]

With the way that the Pats O line has looked in practice recently, I think it's only a matter of time before we have an injured QB

True true.

Sounds like offense was a complete dumpster fire today

Weird your posts from last year are just going through now.

glad they have $50m of capspace just sitting free

was watching this last night and jesus…….how did our offensive line get as bad as it has?



All the time Brady had……think this was the last great OL Brady had……

 

[EverettMike]

I'm sure the offensive coordinator whose never called plays and got fired by f***ing Cleveland will figure it out.

 

[McGarnagle]

Are we still blaming this on the greatest coach in NFL history?

They haven't had a serviceable LT in 5 years, their best guard is playing RT. They're one David Andrews injury away from Mafi being their starting center.

Wolf and Co dis nothing to improve the line and it absolutely should've been their priority in the draft and FA, but this also started a few years ago when Belichick put his trust in Trent Brown again, and discarded Shaq Mason for nothing

I despised the Mason trade. Its like since then Bill hasnt given a shit about the line. Other than Michael O and Andrews all they have is crap and guys with potential.

Notice how it all went to shit after Dante Scarnecchia retired

I mean he does get a huge amount of blame for the state of the offense

But Kraft made the laziest hire at head coach maybe ever. The right move would have been hiring the best offensive coach possible and having that guy work with Drake Maye.

They cheaped out on their top choice for OC!!!! A million a season!

calm down buddy slow down

Young Patriots WR says ‘not a doubt’ in his mind he’s making team

One wideout on the bubble is confident that he'll be on the Patriots roster this fall.

Sit him all year. They ruined Mac with no o-line. Don't make the same mistake again.

He did draft 30 year old Cole Strange

 

[Nothingbutglass]

I think we need to trade Judon for whatever tackle we can get. Waiver wire OL will likely start here this season. I would red shirt Maye. Im getting a little concerned about the coaching. Why is Onwenu at G? Why do they think Mafi can play C? Why the f*** cant Maye get some plays with the starters in practice?

Did I read that right? Pats QBs got sacked 14 times today?

Typical LAMESTREAM media always focusing on the negative.

How many times were they NOT sacked, huh? You don't hear that reported!

 

[BradPark22]

Methinks Mayo and crew might be in over their heads.

Cap space is good.....only if you want to spend it!

The Eagles are the most blitzing team in the NFL, blitz 40% of the time.
There is no reason why any competent coaching staff cannot mitigate this with changes.
I agree on OL has some work to do.
The good news is that our 4th round pick, Layden Robinson played well and is pushing for a starting job.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Team will suck but im still excited about the season and hopefully the future.

 

[EverettMike]

Don't play Maye this season. There's no point in rushing him. None. We knew he was all tools no toolbox, and that's fine! Let him learn, study, and focus on improving.

Would you prefer they overpay someone on a multiyear deal, or have that cap space to add useful players when we are ready to compete?

no one ever said Maye has no tool box. Just that he had footwork to work on.

:deep sigh:

Did you understand the larger point I was making? Did I need to be specific for you to understand it? Cause if not why aren't you mentioning how he didn't call plays in college? Or how he needs to work on post-snap reads? And how he tends to force throws that aren't there or rake bad sacks rather than living to fight another play?

Why did you only mention his footwork when he has a number of things he has to work on and develop?

I'm super f***ing excited about Drake Maye and 100% wanted them to take him. I also want him to get red-shirted this year so he can learn the pro-game. Hence "all tools, no toolbox," an obvious shorthand for something I'm positive most people understood.
