Did Hernandez show up today?
The Oline.
They continue to come up small in the playoffs. Cost us a title in 07 and they're straight getting their ass whooped here. We need to replace Koppen, the man is done he simply cannot handle an elite DT. We can improve over Neal, im tired of light wasting everyones time on this roster. I'd die for a line I could trust.
Blame it on adjustments all you want, but all I'm seeing is Brady on the ground. Jesus could bless this team and they simply aren't gonna get 3 points playing this way. Yet again the line is killing us in the postseason. Just sayin.
while the OL was bad today, I still think that the Pats win if not for 1) benching Welker in the first series and 2) fake punt at the end of the first half. Both were ridiculous, flat-out awful decisions by Belichick.
Those centers you are looking for are extemely rare. Koppen does a great job against small to good sized DT's. He struggles with enormous ones like Ngata. I don't know if you've noticed? But Mangold who is considered by many to be the best Center was moved around quite a bit by our own Wilfork this season. That is just how it works. Koppen is doing fine in most games which makes him a very adequate center. Yes we need a replacement RT as Vollmer will be moving over to LT pretty soon. Also another big guard with Center experience would be helpful.
What we really need is a pass rush. I think everyone can agree this makes many phases of our game better with that one guy. I love multiple draft picks but I'm willing to trade the farm right now to get one. We have enough rookies.
Brady had all day to throw AND he was sacked 5 or so times.
That's a triumph for the defense.
They demolished pretty much this same defense in Week 13. So, again, what changed?
The OL provided Brady 8 seconds to pass. Brasdy had all day. No one could get open.
Pouncey may be selected as high as late in the first round.I've been banging the interior O-Line drum all season long. Koppen can easily be upgraded as can our situation at RG (where Connolly absolutely sucked a fat one today). At RG, I'd love to see them take a look at Pouncey in the later rounds. I think he has the ideal build and temperament that we look for at the RG position. I must admit, though, that I'm not nearly as familiar with the centers in the draft.
