Narrow frame. I watched him last season after he was linked to the Dolphins and he seemed to be a player on the decline, and not particularly interested in run blocking. That's my concern, that we lose our tough identity on defense if Soliai leaves and now we sign a left tackle who is mostly a smart positional pass blocker but not exactly on the upswing and is not a natural fit toward increasing our rushing attempts.
Seems to me we are forcing greater reliance on pass offense and pass defense. Meanwhile, Patterson is gone. I'll wait for further moves. Right now it looks like slightly different specifics but the same caliber of overall roster. I'm not confident that the gap between Soliai and whoever we replace him with won't be greater than the gap between Albert and a minimum salaried veteran. That Soliai decision really bugs me.
