Vederian Lowe's Crucial Role in Patriots' Preseason

Vederian Lowe was unexpectedly under the spotlight in the latest preseason game, standing on the new england patriots’ offensive line. As the team is getting ready for the new season, the opinion about his performance is quite ambivalent among fans and analysts, as his role in the Patriots’ strategy is difficult overestimate.

Starting at left tackle, Lowe’s position is suited appropriately to his function of covering the quarterback’s blind side, a crucial role given the Patriots’ ambitions of restructuring their offensive play. On some run plays, a combination of zone and pull blocks was used, with Lowe at the epicenter of these efforts. Despite the pressure, the offense managed to avoid a run for a loss, signaling some degree of coherence and potential under his guidance.

However, with the expected return of Cole Strange, a reshuffle of O-line structures may occur, including the reevaluation of Lowe’s position in the lineup. His capacity to change and develop will be indispensable for maintaining his starting status and, possibly, providing more consistency to the Patriots’ O-line in the new NFL season.
