The Patriots' 2024 OL

[chevss454]

Here's where we are according to PFF. I'm starting this thread to keep up where we go from here.

The Patriots rank 30th in the NFL in pass blocking and 29th in run blocking.

Of the 100 OTs graded in run blocking, the Patriots have No. 52 (Onwenu), 57 (Vederian Lowe), 82 (Caedan Wallace) and 97 (Demontrey Jacobs).

Of the 86 guards, they have Nos. 17 (Zach Thomas - 24 snaps all year), 29 (Michael Jordan) 75 (Sidy Sow) and 82 (Layden Robinson).

Of the 39 Cs, they have Nos. 26 (David Andrews) and 30 (Nick Leverett).

Every player at every position needs to be upgraded. If I'm GM, I start with the tackles, move to C then to Gs.
I give myself 1 off season to complete the task.
The only players I plan on keeping are Andrews at C & Onwenu at G. But I'm looking at Andrews as a backup to my new C.

I wondering when Andrews is going to hang it up, its been rumored he has been thinking about it, and with the injuries over the last couple of years his body is taking a beating.

Andrews is injured.

New England will lose starting center and team captain David Andrews for the remainder of the season after he injured his shoulder against the 49ers in Week 4. Andrews will undergo surgery to fix his shoulder, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, after briefly debating if he could play through the injury for the rest of the year.

I'm glad they're sitting him down. He's earned it, and he's not going to add wins. I'd love to have him back to mentor a young C we pick up before next year.

Wow, I didn't know that the OL was bad.
I thought that the other teams defenses were really,really good. I thought that our RB,QB, WR, and TE were bad.
This is shocking news that the Patriots OL is awful, and with injuries, will probably be terrible.

Yeah, he’s been a great Patriot over the years no doubt.

D. Carr was sacked 76 times in 2002. Pats O-Line is on average for 73
D Marino was sacked 6 times in 1988
Most sacks in a single game is shared by Warren Moon and Donovan McNabb both with 12

The OLine has been crap.

The best player, who playe the most important position on the line is now out for the season.

This is some really crazy shit

Mayo says Andrews may be a coach for the Pats in the near future and that Gibson may start at RB citing Stevenson's fumbling problem.

Like so many other threads this week, the title of this thread should be: Patriot's Offense Line RIP

I was at Yellowstone on Sunday and just got back, so haven't watched the game yet.

I saw a few lowlights and was very disappointed that it didn't appear Demontrae Jacobs can play worth a damn based on
just how bad he got beat by Bosa. I thought he was a maybe based on a few good reps, but, nope, the odds of getting serviceable
play at LT from somebody already on the roster have gone from really slim to impossible.

Given that I like to see somebody play before I say anything about them, I'll take a wild guess that the guy we just picked up who hasn't played
in 3 years isn't a fantastic candidate, either. Great way to read the room, Eliot. You helped create a dumpster fire and are doubling down with people
have zero shot of helping.

I guess this is our fate for '24 when if we had solid-to-good play from that ONE position then we would be much better off, injuries non-withstanding.
