Sounds like all 4 QB's will get some reps tonight. I'd expect Jacoby & Maye to get a majority of the series, with Zappe & Milton getting 1-2 series each.

 

[Mione134]

Just don't get injured

 

[Fenway]

Truck is back from Paris

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Hopefully Brissett is okay. That left shoulder, ugh.

 

[CDJ]

Osborn needs to go up with 2 hands, that was a great ball from Brissett

They absolutely cannot start Maye behind this line until they are cohesive. At this point they are not.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

I wonder how close Belichick is watching.

 

[ON3M4N]

1 series for Jacoby. Oh boy

Clown show. Why the f*** is the LG expected to block right edge rusher when these guys are barely competent.

 

[ON3M4N]

Is this the same center that had multiple bad snaps last week?

 

[IveGotToBeMe]

Add backup C as another need when cuts are made this week.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Why do I have this feeling Zappe will end up being the week 1 starting QB.

I think it just falls under O-Line upgrades lol

 

[Nothingbutglass]

We need to zone block. These guys cant pull and shit

 

[IveGotToBeMe]

We need to zone block. These guys cant pull and shit

I think we go with an eight man line, QB, RB, and WR

 

[CDJ]

Drake Maye could in fact be legit, very impressive drive. Overcame a couple fumbled snaps (Andrews downright offended on the sideline lol)

Kevin Harris making a play I didn’t know he had in him

That would have been a pick 6 if Mac Jones threw that

If Brissett is out? Sure throw him out there.

I'd really rather see Maye sit for a at least September to really learn the pro game, especially with an absolutely abhorrent OLine.

With this O-line I get worried everytime Maye is out there, especially taking snaps under center.

Has Brissett had problems with center exchange?

 

[Johnnyduke]

I am only going off the box score where it looks like you'd have to think long and hard about Maye being the starting QB. But I also don't know what the fumbles were a result of.

8/9 for 93 and a TD though

The plan to sit Maye was all well and good but I think it's a tougher decision now. A shame they didn't do more to address OL though.

 

[Carl Hungus]

this line is a dumpster fire JFC

 

[Johnnyduke]

this line is a dumpster fire JFC

For that I put 100% on Wolf. Sure Belichick left it in rough shape but you still had Andrews and Onwenu. With a little effort you could have done more in free agency/draft.

2 years later and this organization still won't fix the offensive line.
