You are spot on, outside of injury, Trent brown is locked in as our RT. 10 guys in the NFL played T better than Trent brown last year. IF mims had a full collegiate career worth of plays/experience, maybe…. But he would be on a HOF trajectory if he came in a a top 10 OL his rookie year. I hope he develops into that, but I don’t expect anything close to that in year 1. No one should.
T-11. TRENT BROWN: NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: 80.2
Now set to hit free agency this offseason, the hulking tackle struggled to put together a full season once again in 2023. He played just 11 games — including two with fewer than 35 total snaps — but when healthy, he was at the top of his game.
The Patriots tackle posted career highs in offensive grade (80.2) and run-blocking grade (80.7) and gave up just 17 total pressures on 346 pass-blocking snaps, showing there is definitely something left in the tank.
Great stuff Bengalbug, reps. Surprised Trent was as good as he was in run blocking which was supposed to be where he isn't quite as good.
Yes, damn good player. We got him for a good deal is all because of his injury history. If he is healthy, he is starting at RT against the Pats in
the opener. One could argue that Trent when healthy is better than the guy at LT as he doesn't give up near as many pressures and we paid
this guy a lot simply because he hasn't had the injury problems.
I have crazy high hopes for Amarius Mims, having Trent Brown in front of him is even better so we don't have to throw him in there immediately.
Expecting Mims to play as a rookie at some point though for sure with Trent's injury history.
