You don't know it. A dislocated kneecap is very painful. That guy is one hell of a tough guy if he played on it before it healed.
But, but, but... turnstyle! sucks! move him to right towel boy! terrible! bum! but, but...!
Whos waited til this eyar to say that? I've realized Light is way overrated for quite some time. Tough guy, above average LT

For a guy recovering from a dislocated knee cap, he played exceptionally well in the second half of the season. I know everyone like to focus on the strip sack by Terrell Suggs and ignore the fact that Light neutralized Suggs for the rest of the game, but other than a few plays here and there Light played well this year.
People are crazy who want to see this guy go. The line played best with him at LT and Vollmer at RT.

Even on that play I think Light had rid Suggs far enough up the field that Brady had plenty of room to step up and Brady didnt do that. That sack was on Brady

That play was Kevin Faulk's fault. He should have chipped Suggs before going out on his pattern. Light froze a little bit inside expecting the chip and Brady assumed his backside was covered.
Matt Light overcame dislocated kneecap

Patriots left tackle Matt Light is making a tour through ESPN’s Bristol, Conn., campus today, and his schedule includes appearances on “Mike & Mike in the Morning”, “First Take” and “The Herd”, among others.
He also chatted on ESPNBoston.com today at 12:40.
Light’s “Mike & Mike” appearance can be recapped, podcast-style, here.
As part of the interview, Light revealed that the injury suffered this year against Denver was a dislocated kneecap and that the injury also “got a little bit of the MCL.”
He touched on the disappointing end of the Patriots’ season in the playoffs, and one of the goals going forward.
“As players, we all talked about it after the game. We were in the locker room and there were a lot of guys hanging their head and it’s a tough situation,” Light said. “We know we have good guys, quality players. But we have to be a more physical team, a mentally tougher team. We have to be guys that act like we’ve been there and done it before.”
I'm absolutely fine with Matt Light coming back next season. He can still get the job done. He does struggle with speed rushers at times, but I'm not sure if I can point out one LT who doesn't. I was tough on Light earlier in the season (especially after what Schobel did to him in Week 1) but he's earned my respect.
