Looking at the Patriots 2024

AVP never knew that Marcus Jones ever played offense before… 🤣

I can't put this on AvP, the plays everyone remembers was from his rookie year in '22, he was injured last year.....we have people, including Mayo, that should have provided that information, but I doubt the OC who is trying to groom a QB is looking for a CB's offensive snaps from two season ago.

Mayo probably wasn’t aware either…🥴
 
Mike talks about our '24 draftees on offense other than Maye and why they aren't producing much. He also talks about Barmore's progress, the team's improvement since wk 1, the Pats' predicted 6th pick in the draft, Gonzo, and Cole Strange's possible move to Center.

"Left tackle Vederian Lowe said the offense's ability to move before the ball was snapped was noted as greatly improved."

Fixed.
 
The Pats losing this year was fully expected (for me anyway). I never expected much from this coaching staff. I’m actually surprised that they won as many games this year.

Five other teams repped, including the Giants (w/ GM Joe Schoen).

Miami prospects of note:

QB Cam Ward
WR Xavier Restrepo
TE Elijah Arroyo
RB Damien Martinez
Edge Tyler Baron

I don't love Restrepo, he's a slower Pop Douglas. Martinez is a Blount-type back, I dunno if he's a particularly good one, he doesn't have Blount's top-end speed. I think they have two better running backs on the roster, and he only kinda starts because he was a portal kid.

Arroyo's going to be a superstar.

Tyler Baron could be very good, has a lot of raw tools, but he's raw, he needs coaching desperately.

Jalen Rivers could be the scoutee here - 5th year senior Left Tackle, 6'5" 325. Good hands. decent feet, could definitely be improved against speedier rushers, but he really holds up very well with a good punch against power rushers - and is a Roadgrader (tm) in the run game. He's a victim of scheme (air raid) and some pretty piss-poor coaching, if you want my real opinion. He's a Day 3 guy now, but he'll get into a post-season senior game and flash, I could see him as a late 2nd, early 3rd Day 2 guy right now, and a ton, TON of potential.

You all want Highsmith there, and scouting these kids he recruited. Especially since they're all 4 and 5 stars. If we get a couple Miami kids on the roster the next few years, we gon' be alright. They've recruited incredibly well over the last 3 years especially, despite the actual performance on the field. And Highsmith had a hand in recruiting all of them. This is why I hope and pray he can get a couple of his kids here without Eliot Wolf noticing, if this year's draft is any indication.

I know nothing about him, Has he not had good coaching or has he not taken to good coaching?
 
Anyone who’s been posting here for years does not want the Patriots to lose. It’s a difference of opinion.

How have you been River? Tough season but I like Maye a lot. Glad we at least got the most important position solidified. Another draft in the top 10 should also help fill in the holes on O.
 
thinking any position is solidified after 6 games started is naive imo.a lot of people thought that with mac. yes maye has more physical talent and seems to be light years ahead mentally. that's all we know right now.

Exactly.

If there's anything to learn from the Mac experiment is that nothing is guaranteed.

A solid stretch or a good rookie season doesn't mean much unless he continues to show improvement as he goes.

I feel he has been better than expected, but he's still making rookie mistakes in key situations.

If he's able to take his lumps and learn from them he can be a good one, but that's ways away right now.
