He started five games at G for the Patriots last year.  


Three of our backup Olinemen are rookies, it’s nice to have someone with experience even if he’s on the PS.
 

I don’t know anything about him.  Apparently the Pats didn’t value him enough to keep him.

 

Anyone have any info on him?

 Do you know, if the Pats valued him enough that they WANTED him on their PS, and consider his loss a sting. And disappointed he chose us over them?

I found this on a Patriots SB Nation site when they were evaluating players who needed to improve in order to make the team:

 

 “During his time on the field as a rookie, Mafi struggled to hold up in pass protection due to his lack of foot speed and awareness to pick up line games. If those parts of his game don’t take significant steps forward, it’s tough to him envision beating out free agent addition Nick Leverett and recent draft picks Jake Andrews and Layden Robinson. While Mafi did take snaps at center and both guard spots this spring to increase his value, he’ll need a big camp to earn a roster spot.”

 

Who knows, maybe our Oline coach can help him, but I wouldn’t count on it.

What I heard was that Irsay was told you don’t mess with the Mafia or you'll end up in a barrel at the bottom of a lake….but since his hearing is bad he actually heard Mafi so he stashed him on the PS just to be safe. haha

They made him an offer (to join the PS) that he couldn’t refuse.

      Pierce's Speed

      Nice video of Reggie talking Alec up.  Points out that the previous QBs were not able to take advantage of Alec's strength; stretching the field.

      He had another completetion that may have traveled a yard or two further thru the air, from about the colts 15 to about the texans 15.

      I assure you if Colts had an equivalent of Peyton Manning at that time join the team when Rivers did, we would’ve won playoff games.

      Report: Brents to IR

      No it doesn't make him better than Polian because he didn't draft all those HOF players and all those other solid role players I listed above. Polian also built the Bills into a powerhouse and an expansion team into a playoff contender.....BUT, I'll tell you who Elway is better than, CHRIS BALLARD...Elway has a winning record unlike Ballard. Elways has a playoff win without Manning and with Manning unlike Ballard who went and handpicked his QB's and has zero playoff wins with them. Elway took his team to 2 SB's with his free agent QB pickup and won a SB., Ballard has 1 playoff appearence with his FA quarterbacks that HE PICKED! Ballard would have to go to the next 2 SB's and win won of them just to match what Elway did but............Here's what Ballard is better than Elway at, being a used care salesman and BSing people......BTW, Don't try and twist my logic next time.

      This one is gonna sting until we get him back next season. JuJu Brents looked much better than I anticipated throughout camp and looked solid throughout week one. This sucks so bad for a young player who needed the onfield reps and experience this season.
