More Confident with: Warren replacing Warren OR Connolly/Wendell replacing Mankins? - New England Patriots Forums

Which of these two positions are you more confident in getting filled in by replacments in a very adequate way?

Mankins situation of course is MUCH more possible that he returns while Warren is done,but lets say Mankins does not return in 2010 or at least a huge portion of it.

It has less to do with the quality of the backups, IMO, and everything to do with the importance of the position. In the defense that the Pats run, the DE is critically important, far moreso than a guard in just about any offense.

keeping brady on he's feet is always #1 on the list of things the pats need to do to win games

with Warren, replaceing Warren, there will be a drop off in talent but IMO not as big as the one from all pro G to 3rd and 4th string G

Seeing how very average Ty Warren has been the past two seasons and the fact Mankins has been a Pro-Bowl level player who has been protecting our best team talent [Brady], i can easily say that as long as Gerrard Warren plays the run above average there won't be almost any drop off while i feel we will definitely be missing the name Logan sooner than we expect.

I voted for Warren/Warren.
If Gerard Warren is healthy, in shape & motivated, he can be a starting-caliber DLman on a PO team;
Connelly & Wendell are PS-caliber OLmen asked to replace an all-pro-caliber OLman.

Warren's replacing Warren? Who's replacing Seymour?

By his actions (or inactions), Bill must feel that the answer is Mike Wright.

Or just throw Wright, Damione Lewis, Pryor, Deadrick, and...Brace

all against the wall and hope one of them will stick.

Seriously, I'd be shocked if Mike Wright ends up being the starting RDE this year. If he is in on first downs, our defense is in trouble.

Connolly was a second string G last year, and he's a second string guard this year. I have no idea where you got 4th string from.
