Vollmer needs to stay at LT - New England Patriots Forums

***slash83*** · 11-16-2009, 02:30 AM

Guys a stud, he is playing way to good to be replaced. I think he can be the best tackle taken this past draft, thats saying a lot to considering the high number of players taken in that position in the first round.

It was a weird night for me. I've said all along, that until i see him against Freeney, im not jumping on the bandwagon yet. I've also defended Nick many times on this board. Now, im liking the hell out of Vollmer, and Kaczur was p*ssing me off. Its only one game though. Nicks looked ok up till now.

The future is bright for Vollmer.

I agree, he's been incredible so far. Kaczur continues to be mediocre as always. Hopefully Light can switch to RT

Yup, seeing how he more than held his own against one of the games premier pass rushers was the final straw for me to think he should stay at LT. The only way Light plays again is if either Vollmer gets injured or he replaces Kaczur at RT. No way he rides the bench from here on out, just too good.

Ive been here, I knew he was good once I seen him play VS Ten. But the way he played tonight was awesome. Feel bad for Light but glad we drafted this dude.

I know, you've circled me many times

I just wasnt ready to climb aboard until i saw him take on a good pash rusher, on a dry field. This, to me, was going to be a good game to judge him on. I thought he did real well.

Vollmer didn't do anything tonight that Light doesn't do better.

Maybe not but he offers the option to move Light to RT and protect Brady on both sides. Bottom line is, if we can get a running game when Morris comes back and maybe Taylor, and use Edeleman/Aiken better as the 3rd WR then this offense becomes unstoppable

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

I disagree.... as you can see. The pass rush was only a threat on the right side where Nick was playing. When Light gets healthy.... Right Tackle will be there and waiting for him.

Vollmer was beat once on a spin move by Freeney but he recievedback up and it was thwarted anyways. Let Vollmer grow into the position he is perfecting.

LIGHT to RIGHT
