Bedard's Daily Briefing 08.29.19: What's going on with Patriots o-line shuffle? Sox sweep as Bogaerts rips

Good morning!

A few random thoughts while I wonder if Dante Scarnecchia is really mortal...

• Patriots made two moves on the offensive line, getting OT Korey Cunningham from the Cardinals, and Jermaine Eluemunor from the rival Ravens.


• My breakdown on Cunningham with film.


• Eluemunor analysis and film, with my thoughts on the depth chart now and how it might affect the 53-man roster.


• I have a few further thoughts at the bottom in a BSJ members-only section.


• Also, here's my breakdown of the bubble players (before the trades).


• B-Robb chat.


• The Red Sox swept the Rockies, which is a little better than sweeping the Orioles.


• You may not like this Red Sox team as much as last year, but Xander Bogaerts is worth tuning in for every night.

• David Andrews is done for this season and they think Joe Thuney, who once played some center long ago in college, is the best option. That would mean a line of LT Isaiah Wynn, LG Eluemunor, C Thuney, RG Shaq Mason, RT Marcus Cannon.


• I wouldn't want to move too many more people than that. I'm very much from the camp that you don't lessen multiple positions to plug one hole. I think Karras gets the first shot but they're giving themselves options in case it doesn't work out.


• They are eyeing another trade and are getting their ducks in a row: either Thuney or Cannon go out the door. I think there's virtually no shot of this, but I'm just putting it out there because this would be one of those shockers, like Logan Mankins.
