I think its pretty telling they really like Sebass when he plays LT on the 6 man line on opening day. On the same play they had Light playing RT, and he looked awfully bad. I dont think he can make that adjustment. They just extended NK, and they made 2 moves on draft day targetting Ornberger(Sp?), not something you do for a backup. No way they can afford to keep Mankins, Neal needs a med unit constantly. Right now he wont lose his job because Tommy franchise wants him there ALOT more than Beckett wants Varitek. I think Vollmer's progress alone will determine if Light makes it back next year, but he wont lose his job this year.

I think after this season, the Pats would try to transition Light to RT and Kaczur to RG and Neal doesn't return. Remember we have LeVoir who played well when given the chance. Mankins should be resigned. He is the most valuable on our OL.

Next season is uncapped as of now.

Vollmer did impress today, but look what he was blocking. Even when Kyle was in there, he couldnt get any solid footing. His first step was always sliding. I agree with the others. Lets see how he does against an elite pass rusher on a good field.

and how long before people realize Nick isnt a bad RT???

Up until 1993, I didn't know the nickname 'Patsies' was an insult... that's what I grew up with during the late 80's and early 90's.

Go PATRIOTS!

It's not so much a knock on Light as one on Kascur. I think we would be better up front with that set. What do you guys think?
crown him after one game?

no way Light EVER sees RT
