I agree, he is a superb LT when #82 is lined up beside him. Another reason to sign Graham to a long term contract.

Like I said in the draft forum ... our 1st pick will be a LT...Light has been a great player....but he is nowhere near what he used to be due to injuries.

Owned? He's a prison cell be-atch as we speak.

there is a growing concensus on light's poor play. chances are he has not fully recovered from last season. he needs to start playing better tho

He had a bad first half, but a pretty good second half.

"Full huddle
Following the strip sack of Tom Brady for a safety, the entire Patriots offense huddled on the sideline, with offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia in the middle of the mix. Scarnecchia was seemingly addressing the numerous breakdowns in pass protection.

On the play in which Brady was sacked, FB Heath Evans couldn't hold his block against S Kenoy Kennedy."

The entire Oline was owned today. We were lucky Brady didn't get killed. His ability to slide bought us couple of crucial completions. And I think while field turf is fast and provides better footing, it's tougher on your QB's back when he's getting planted regularly.

We need to put Light where he has always belonged, at right tackle. Time to get a stud left tackle with actual talent, not just strength.

I don't really care what his contract says or who else is on the Line. We are under the salary cap by far more than we should be (to field a competitive offense), and we are watching Brady get killed year after year after year.

Brady makes all these guys on offense look good, only lately Brady is losing the ability to perform miracles. Time for better protection and better WRs and more running plays when he is getting killed.

Stats don't tell the story of Brady's protection. He gets rid of the ball and makes his guys look good, yet Brady gets flattened routinely. That is why he is injuried by the end of many seasons. He was in bad shape in 2002, 2003, 2005.

When do we protect the guy we depend on?
