As part of this film review I will look at every single offensive play from the first preseason game. The ultimate goal is to highlight some of the accomplishments, failures, and features of the Patriots offensive line play during the game. We’ll also take a peek at some of the rotation details and grade their overall play.
Jimmy Garoppolo leads the Patriots onto the field and quickly starts taking snaps with center David Andrews. Almost time to kick this off.

-Joe Thuney played an outstanding game
–Nate Solder looked terrible early, improved as game went on
–Marcus Cannon was surprisingly good, one of most consistent lineman in this game. I was shocked.
–Shaq Mason looked pretty bad throughout the entire game. He wasn’t technically sound and made mental errors. Very disappointed.
-Andrews and Stork were both pretty strong. Andrews was probably slightly better.
–Josh Kline was solid playing both tackle and guard in the first preseason game
-Waddle was slightly better than Fleming, but neither were very impressive
-It’s evident that Barker feels more comfortable at guard than tackle
–Ted Karras was okay. Good to see that he can play center as well as guard.
-Not enough playing time to judge Halapio, Kerbyson, Milton.
