Patriots' tackle Nate Solder could get thrown in fire - ESPN Boston

That's a big thing on Solder's plate if Reiss is right,let's hope he can adjust to that side until Vollmer returns.

We all saw how good Vollmer looked when he was forced into the lineup as a raw rookie when injuries hit the OL,Perhaps Solder can do as good.

Oh well I guess it wouldn't be a season opener without some kind of drama. Godspeed Nate.

Getting a little nervous from Canada here. Too many bad season opening memories.

Vollmer was chucked straight into a game against Vanden Bosch.

He also struggled massively on MNF vs Wake last year.

I trust in Dante and Bill that Nate is ready.

This could significantly impact the passing game. If Solder has to go at RT, that could cause the Patriots to do a lot of helping out on that side with a TE, which means Gronk could be spending most of the game pass blocking rather than pass catching.

or he could slip the block on Wake, grab the quick pass and rumble down the field all night...or they could run BJGE inside and Ridley right at Wake with Solder and Gronk beating on him and wear him down....it works both ways

The team will adjust.

There will always be issues, injuries, and obstacles to overcome, but that's just part of the team building philosophy.

I am certainly concerned, but I expect the game planning will be adjusted to deal with these issues. Deus is right, we may not see as much Gronk catching the ball, but I expect a shot at establishing the run, screens, quick outs/3 step drops.

Let's do this

man, I do hope so to see this a lot this year. This has been our achilles heel for the past few years, when D pressures brady, we never had an answer and keep doing the same thing and getting killed.

Damn, I'm a nervous wreck as the season opener nears
