More reason to have both on the field at the same time.

Totally agree. Vollmer should stay at LT, and Light should be moved to RT. Kaczur is the weak link on this line. I still laugh when I think of how Mel Kiper said we reached for him in the second round. He also said we reached for Mankins when we drafted him. I don't think Mel is very good at rating OL.

Then its down to who concedes less if/when we play Indy again in the AFCCG

Vollmer didn't help a whole lot in the running game tonight, and neither Taylor nor Morris was likely to have been any better than Maroney in that game.

I've got nothing against Vollmer. I just think that people are jumping the gun there. I'd much rather have him at right tackle than left right now, assuming he can play the position.

Well - IMO he's a rookie in his 3rd or 4th start who's getting better and better each week. His run blocking will improve. The commentators and the Indy fans i've seen were raving about him. Light has some good games and some bad ones and his contracts up soon. I'd at least try Vollmer LT and Light RT and see how it goes - we've also got LeVoir who could play RT too

What does that tell you? If Vollmer in his 3rd of 4th game starting is outplaying or playing just as well as Light was then why not stick with Vollmer? His potential is through the roof and hes been playing if not better than Light was just as damn good. I say leave him in and let him continue to develop.

Did he leg whip anyone last night? No. Did he allow any sacks? No. Did he pancakse the league's best DEnd on multiple occasions, and create running holes on his side when they actually decided to run over there? Yes.

I don't care which of Vollmer or Light play LT or RT. I just want Kaczur out of there and standing by in case of emergencies only. He's a turnstile.

JonVaughnTD · 11-16-2009, 06:18 AM

If Light was at RT tonight with Vollmer at LT, the Patriots would have won the game.

Agree completely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
