My understanding is that guard was the Patriots weakest position.
I heard or read that they were not happy with their TE's about a week or 2 ago.

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

But to me its not designed for full time. It is a surprise coverage as they stunt the blitz. If the TE is on his side, he drops. If not he rushes.
I have only seen this a couple of times in a game if only once. situational football. I hear that a lot lately. I think from bill belichick.
I'll take hoops evaluation over your thoughts, along with the eye test. Its one thing to do it against a weak side TE, another thing against a athlete like Gronk. But hey that's too much common sense.

How do they not have better depth. . They are installing a guy that has started 51 games for them in his place.
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.
Marcus Cannon is starting at guard for them. Also so Goodall fed Jordan the roids
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..
So far the mumblings up here in NewEngland, are not very positive at all about losing Mankins.. People are not happy about the move, and me likey :up:
I'm extremely shocked at this trade. I imagined it would be a 2nd or 3rd, especially with Logan Mankins being one of the top G's in the league right now. Really confused at what the Patriots are doing.
