... that after the Jags game, the Pats had their best running performance of the year and Brady did not get hit once without Nick Kazcur in the game?

Thoughts?

Combo of things and BB made a point of it in his presser. Light, mankins, koppen, neal, vollmer. best 5 o-linemen were out there.

jags have an awful pass rush, but are good vs the run. they were screwed from the get-go.

I agree w/RW; Neal & Vollmer on the right side is our best hope.

I still can't believe that Bill extended Kaczur & Connelly; what a waste of precious cap space.

No coincedence at all, I think BB will put vollmer at RT for the playoffs.
I guess he is just waiting for him to develop, he has time until the playoffs

Connelly isn't for big dollars. In hindsight, I agree but the foresight is that BB manged the risk in case of injury and if Vollmer's development was slow. At the end of the day, Connelly and Kazur are managable dollars that don't compromise the current cap structure. Not a biggie IMO....

Vollmer is so much better than Kaczur. There was a discussion about this a couple games ago.

Kazcur still has value as a backup swing tackle. Not going to have three pro bowl tackles on your team, so better to have a #3 who CAN play both LT and RT (even if you'd prefer he didn't over long stretches).

Kazur has two bad ankles. He was nothing more than serviceable before the Indy game. Sometimes servicable can be enough.

Vollmer is a road-grader w/ quick feet. Even before his ankle injuries kazur did not have quick feet.

Actually if you watch the games where brady has been hit most the coincidence is the absence of Neal.
The 3-4 end has a field day against our backup gaurd on the right side.
espeically against dolphins in the 2nd game when starks looked like an all pro.

I dunno understand how the Jags put up 31 points with the Colts and ONLY 7 with the Pats when playoffs was on line for them....
