One constant through this season so far has been the protection of #12 from speed rushers on the outside.

We've seen plenty of good pass rushers so far from the likes of Baltimore, Seattle, Arizona, Denver and St Louis - and none of them have been able to really able to lay a hand on 'the Franchise'.

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?

I think that's 2 out of the last 3 games where Brady wasn't sacked. The tackles have been playing great.

they'd get more recognition if every guard on the roster stopped playing so darn well ... kudos to the whole line, and for the sake of this thread topic, especially our boys on the ends. Stay healthy.

Wasn't he famous for his pranks & sense of humor?

Well Brady getting the ball out so quickly helps them but yeah, they're definitely up there.

I covet Kyle Long to take over for Vollmer, who I doubt we'll be able to keep after this season.

why do you think that? the Patriots were the only ones who worked him out prior to the draft, he wasn't even sure if he would be drafted. you have to think that he will show some loyalty.
