Patriots trade logan Mankins to Bucs, possible good news for our dline

How is this a bad move for Lict. They needed a guard a he got a pro bowl guard for a TE that wasn't fitting in.
So you would rather have a big hole on your oline then overpay for a good lineman. I wish our GM was that stupid.
If you are going to rollover the money anyway why not fill a damn hole.

Dont make me dig up all the posts where you bitched and complained about overpaying for OL. And they werent even 32 year old OL in decline.
 
Everyone in the NFL should know by now, when the pats let go of something it usually means it's broken.
 
LMAO.

Pats have better depth at G.

Its amazing how people make **** up around here.

well they did draft a TE. Early in preseason there was talk that Smith had big plans for him and then something happened. Any word on what the fallout was. Smith was very high on the TE when camp started

I think it was lack of overall development...no growth as a blocker...basically a rocked up wr playing tight end and in that offense it's not a fit...in our and the pats one provided you don't ask him to do much as a blocker it is though
 
Gronk isn't going to make it through the season. This is why BB is doing this. bank it. They have one other TE and the 6-8 Jones who is green as green can be.

He thinks he can do just fine with someone else who can hold a block for 1.5 seconds for 60% of the time.
 
This trade screams that Gronkowski is not anywhere near ready and Patriots are desperate to get another TE.

How do they not have better depth. . They are installing a guy that has started 51 games for them in his place.

Wright had 600yds receiving and 5 TD. Last year an a crappy offense. If that's developmental player then with Tom Brady he will be all pro. I mean clay only got 756 and 6 tds guess he was a JAG as well..

I agree that many overlooked this kid last year because he was an undrafted rookie. He won me a fantasy game as a bye week fill in, I think this kid has a lot of potential folks that don't necessarily pay attention to teams outside of their division may be surprised this year.

Josh Kline? Not saying he cant play, like I said, they only have to hold their blocks for 1.5 seconds half the time. They must feel good about Halapio too but he is green. The big move they made for this was Wendell made the C and Connolly at RG. Josh Kline is the LG. I've read that Wendell and Connolly was a debate on who should play C but apparently, BB just made one of them a G.

So we have two guys who move around a lot who are diverse. Kline is next guy up at LG. Cannon is the swing tackle for both sides.

I would say this right now. NE will do fine with this through the season. We will eat these guys up on Sept. 7. I am looking for Brady to speed it up and hurry up offense because he knows this is how they beat us 3 years ago when they opened up with us.

Problem is, our offense has more power and defense is stout up front with excellent pass rush. One of the best they will face all year. The thing for me that sucks is Jordan being out because there is the guy who would have covered Gronk from DE position. surprise! Goodell took care of that for them.

The extra weight JordAn is carrying, I don't see the ability to work in space effectively.

Yeah, two dolphins starters busted. You never hear anyone from great teams getting busted.

How bout this pot smoking Pittsburgh RB situation? Not a word on it. Not a word. You think anything is going to happen here? I don't and if so, it will be minimual
