When Brady could not find quality receivers to throw to in the 2006/2007 AFCCG and many times during the season,BB went out and went wild in FA getting him the receivers he needed to compete for the title.

Now the fact that Brady's offensive line was playing poor in the latter half of the season I can see a Flozell Adams or Max Starks high on the list of guys that the team needs to protect the franchise quarterback.

I also think that in the draft Long will get 'Long' looks at #7

All of a sudden the OL has as much urgency to be fixed as the ILB and CB areas.

There is no great selection for top quality ILBs or CBs in this years FA market so its the OL I think as a major dive into the FA waters and the defense will be addressed all of the draft,IF they pass on Long or Long is gone by #7

One game doesn't mean the OL needs to be revamped. The line played well 18 out of 19 games.

This offensive line was one of the very best in football all year. To blow it up because they played poorly in one game is foolish. Make adjustments, sure. Shore it up, sure. But to overreact based solely on the Super Bowl would be folly.

We had three Pro Bowlers on his offensive line. Other than Stephen Neal being injured a lot this year and Nick Kazcur not being all that great, where exactly would you want to improve our o-line? Light, Koppen, and Mankins are all in Hawaii right now.

The best OL in football needs to be rebuilt because of one bad game?

I would agree that if Neal's injury problems can't be put behind him, Hochstein is not the answer, and we need a replacement.

but that's about it.

I wouldnt mind a good blocking TE but I believe the defense needs addressing.
We could not make one stop when we had to in the SB. LB's,a CB and someone who can SACK THE QB are what we need imo.

Thats ridiculous - Did you watch the Eagles,Giants or Ravens game in the regular season?

Brady was continuously harrassed and pressured,Only he was able to make the plays when needed that we won those games,Light and Kaczur have sucked since the mid part of November,It was Brady able to get it done somehow,any other QB gets buried or throws numerous picks.

Its like the OL went from being superb to being turnstiles as winter progressed thus the games got closer and a big part of that was that Brady had less time to find the open guys.

We did have problems with speed rushers all year long. We will need to address this before we face the same teams that gave us problems this year.

That guy is Vrabel, hopefully, who was a far more effective pass rusher before Colvin went down.

i don't think the players on the O-line were primarily responsible. in fact, before last sunday, people were calling them the best in the league in a long time. last sunday, i don't think they got much help from the coaches (and maybe from Brady) when it came to picking up the rushing schemes. also, the play calling left them having to "hold on" longer than they were clearly able, given the intensity of the Giants' rush. so, i'd look more to the coaching on this one.
