Dante Scarnecchia Weighs In On Trent Brown Rejoining Patriots

The New England Patriots have been linked with several players in the offseason. former Patriots offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia talked about Trent Brown and his potential arrival in New England.

In 2018, Brown had a career season with the Patriots. He was a stalwart on the offensive line in the winning season. New England won a Super Bowl that season.

Brown’s former position coach believes the left tackle may resurface that level of dominance with the team in 2021.

Brown is back with the Patriots following his time with the Las Vegas Raiders. A few days after Bill Belichick’s deal with Las Vegas went down, Scarnecchia shared his thoughts on Brown.

Apparently, Scarnecchia likes the 27-year-old.

“I like Trent. Think he’s got talent, I think he’s got immense talent,” he told the Boston Herald’s Karen Guregian. “I really enjoyed our time together. It definitely had some growing pains, but it was a very good time.

“I think he can be a guy that you can run behind. He can make the tough blocks on the back side, and he’s a really good pass-blocker for multiple reasons.

“He’s so big, and he’s so long. He’s just a big guy to run around, and he’s really a hard guy to rush through. And, I think he loves challenges. The better the players, the more attention he pays. He really gets into it.”

Dante Scarnecchia is excited about Trent Brown signing

Brown keeps talking about his great time with the Patriots. He had an excellent season with the team, and yes, he is really excited about his return to the team. Brown says the Patriots’ coaching staff can help him win a lot of games.

“I think what happened early on (in the 2018 season), you could just see in the way he was moving around to start practice where his mindset was, ‘I’m taking this day off,’” said Scarnecchia. “If allowed to do that, he would do it. But, we just didn’t allow him to do that. We’d tell him, ‘Hey look, this ain’t going to be the way it’s going to happen.’ It may have been said in a different tone, and not as nice as that, but once he got beyond all that, it was an absolute pleasure to be around him, and to coach him, especially the way he played for us.

“The last two-thirds of the year, and in particular in the playoffs, I think he was really exceptional in the playoffs.”
