Re: Do the Patriots have the best OT combo in the NFL?
Remember when in August people were killing Solder as bust? The guy is a solid LT who has the potential to be great or elite. Right now with Jake Long struggling, he is the best LT in the division. He handled Freeney better than Light ever did although Freeney is 32 and not remotely the same player he was when he was 28.

Re: Do the Patriots have the best OT combo in the NFL?
Today's game is probably not the game to follow with this question. Neither player was exactly All-Pro level today.

Re: Do the Patriots have the best OT combo in the NFL?
Between an abundance of cap space, a shortcoming of talent both in the draft and in free agency, inexpensiveness of right tackles, and Vollmer's high level of play, I can't see any way he leaves the team. Like, less than 5% chance.

I'd call it more like 25% because of the possibility that another team targets Vollmer to be their starting LEFT tackle, raising the $$ stakes.

Solder and Vollmer, by the nature of their positions, rarely get their number called - but I can't think of a better paid of bookend currently in the NFL.
Thoughts?
Don't know who these guys, solder and vollmer are. I vaguely remember hearing their name in preseason.
