Uncle's guy Dallas Gant is gone. They already have 2 other ILBs on the PS.

I have to wonder if there were thoughts from the coaching staff about using 2024 as a true "transition" year, which is why they initially kept a bunch of younger players either on the roster or PS, and with the start they had and O'Connell stating several times that he believes the 2024 team could be special, I wonder if plans have shifted a bit more into "win now at all costs". Outside of Reichard and Richter on ST, we just haven't seen the younger players from the 2024 Draft/UDFA Class sniff the field that much. I would have liked to see Tyrese Robinson, Dwigth McGlothern & Levi Drake Rodriguez get a few snaps to see what they could do in a regular season game, and I would have thought Gabriel Murphy would have been ready to come off IR at any point, but they seem to be "stashing" him there for the 2024 season. Gant, like Richter, was a ST ace in college and thought that was his path to the 53-man roster, especiallly with Najee Thompson's injury and possibly even with Asamoah not even sniffing defensive snaps.

Without any snaps for those players, they'll enter the 2025 season with the same questions as they did entering 2024, with a year in the organization under their belt as the only thing gained.

Given how poorly Ingram has played, I'd have thought they would try something with Robinson. I know they see him every day, but he certainly looked better than Ingram in pre-season against the same talent. I'm not sure why we didn't see much of Risner last night either.

This is starting to remind me of O'Connell refusing to bench Mattison. Feeney has been available but inactive. sh*t, could Jurgens or Rouse be any worse? And like you mentioned, Robinson looked good in the Preseason.

Yikes, I saw DePaola help make a tackle on the punt return so that must be when the injury happened. This could be rough for the FG unit as a change at LS could shake things up. My guess is they add a kicker to the PS and hope that Reichard can gut it out.

^Dang. While it remains to be seen if Tyrese Robinson will be any good in the Regular Season, he did well enough in this year's preseason where I was intrigued to give him a shot, especially with Ingram continuing to struggle into Year 3 (and yes, I know Ingram has played well the last couple games).

That's the second developmental OL player the Patriots have of ours after we traded OT Vederian Lowe to them for a 6th. Lowe was a 6th Rd pick for us in the "infamous" 2022 Draft class and he's actually developed into a relatively "Ok" pass-blocker at LT for New England (relatively speaking since he was a late Day 3 pick).

Still, given our depth issues, I'd like to try and keep "worthy" developmental OL players in-house if we can and I did think Robinson was worthy of being protected and kept in-house. I wonder who the 4 players we're protecting on the PS actually are?

I liked him too, but they're carrying 10 OL on the roster and he's not one of them, so clearly they don't see him as more than just a guy.

The only guy I am confident they are protecting is Andre Carter II, maybe Redmond?

Today perhaps but OL sometimes takes a minute to develop. I wish he could get another shot because I thought he looked as good or better than guys who made it over him. He may never turn out but I saw flash. I rather have all the options we can going forward into next year.

Politics he was a high pick so somebody will think they can outsmart everyone else.

One more parting shot. It has to he a crime to be this sorry. He about blew both Achilles out. Shook out his draws! How the hell is he getting millions. I wouldn’t pay him 1000 buck. Nor a 100 nor 20 bucks. Free and I might not do that. Pick up your jock strap while you down there thundercat.

Of course this could be a big blow. Got the win yet I never get to come up for air. It could cost us as soon as this week. Plus a new long snapper f*ck.
