I was in Sec 112 when I saw him walk off the field in the 4th qtr vs the Ravens. He looked like death warmed over. He didn't know where he was..His shoulder drooped down..Limping...Wincing in pain.

Stephen Neal is one tough SOB to want to continue doing this.

Broken ribs and still playing o-line? I sometimes wonder how the hell these guys do what they do with these injuries. I guess that is why they make the big-bucks right? think this means he is gone, which means we better start looking at a guard/center in the draft. Kaczur might be able to fill in, but with his salary he should not be the answer at RG.

Sporting News #1 UFA Guard - makes sense.

i heard on the nfl network that the titans might have to cut ties with Kevin Mawae. I know its not long term but hes a veteran presence and would probably go for very cheap.

Interesting...

Mawae???? Hell NO.. Not only does he hate BB, he also hates the Pats franchise. And, I can't stand the lying sack... He's, bar none, the dirtiest player in the league and more than a few D-linemen will rejoice when he retires.

As for Neal. God bless him. But he was done 2 years ago in the SB.. Unfortunately, the Pats haven't been able to get someone in to replace him yet. And, unfortunately, the draft seems to be really thin at both center and guard. As is free agency.

Well, if he is indeed moving on, I want to thank him for his services. He was an extremely solid RG for us and had balls of steel coming back last year with all those injuries. I suspect a move either to Washington or Kansas City. This should usher in the Light-Mankins-Koppen-Kaczur-Vollmer era for the Pats.

Addition by subtraction....

Neal has been done for a while now, hasn't opened up a running lane in 3 years and is now getting overpowered back into the pocket.

Good luck, we'll upgrade. That right side has been a sore spot for a while, Kaczur wasn't the only one over there.

Stephen Neal has been one of the top guards in the AFC. The issue with him is not production, its health.
