have to bring back a few guys from the good old days every year.Funny to me we don't let the D guy leave the visit without a contract despite already having a very strong D....yet lacking for weapons on offense we let everyone wall out the door
I mean, my guess would be he's getting a whole lot less money than the offensive players they had in.Funny to me we don't let the D guy leave the visit without a contract despite already having a very strong D....yet lacking for weapons on offense we let everyone wall out the door
I don’t know if he will bring anything at this point, but I still love it. One of my favorite Patriots of the entire run.
I think he has plenty left in the tank, but only time will tell.Love the guy, have no clue what he has in the tank at this point but hey, can't hurt.
I think those offensive guys have more options. Flowers was looking at being out of the league.Funny to me we don't let the D guy leave the visit without a contract despite already having a very strong D....yet lacking for weapons on offense we let everyone wall out the door
I really wouldn't compare a visit from Trey Flowers with the previous visits of Elliot and Hopkins.Funny to me we don't let the D guy leave the visit without a contract despite already having a very strong D....yet lacking for weapons on offense we let everyone wall out the door
Depth is good and lining up next to Barmore could really help him.Mike Reiss was on T&R this morning and his take was that Flowers would be a depth signing, nothing more.
In his third year Flowers played 85%+ of the snaps when he was active. He was a key piece of the defense while Uche was exclusively deployed as a situational player last year. The sack production pops, but Flowers was a much more important part of this team in Year 3 than Uche.A lot of similarities between Flowers and Uche, in terms of their first 3 seasons. Both guys did very little in Y1; Flowers was better than Uche in Y2, but Uche better in Y3. Similar sized: Flowers a bit thicker, Uche a bit taller.
Maybe Flowers can take Uche under his wing a bit, help train him more as a run-stopper/setter of the edge.
Fair points. Which is why I am hoping that TF can help JU become a more complete player (as he himself was)In his third year Flowers played 85%+ of the snaps when he was active.

I don't know if Uche has the frame to hold up as an edge setter and Bill values that a whole lot on early downs. Bringing Flowers in to me means spelling out Judon and keeping Uche in the role he excelled at last year. That would be very valuable.Fair points.

Media pundits, people here...I'm fine being on an island occasionally. I still think Flowers has a very good season here.
My recollection is that he mostly rushed with one hand in the dirt but from the end. Basically took over Chandler Jones’ spot.Didn't Flowers mostly rush from the interior, as opposed to Uche from the outside?
I think you're right on the conditioning part. I bet he didn't pass the conditioning test, so it will be officially PUP until he does.Flowers hasn't played meaningful football for over a year (65 snaps, 4 tackles, 1 solo for MIA last year before his injury), so his conditioning or capabilities at this point could surely be questionable enough to not want to run him out during the preseason. For $50K in cap space though, stashing him on PUP/Reserve until week 5 seems very wise. That way, he's Uche, Wise, or *gulp* Judon insurance.
