Seriously.
Last season the Pats converted A LOT of 3rd downs by RUNNING the ball. Now that looks and is impossible.
They got rid of the inside mauler and now they cannnot establish the run game, they cannot convert 3rd downs by running the ball. Opponents play the pass on 3rd downs all day long, Pats cannot convert, cannot sustain drives, cannot control the clock, playaction is dead. The recipe for disaster.
Dallas took a inside mauler in the first round, now their OLine looks elite, went from average to elite, their RB gains 5 yards before he is even touched, he leads the league in running by a big margin. With an established run game, they sustain drives, control the clock, playaction works great, and just demolished the Saints the night before.
The Pats got rid of their inside mauler, and their offense went from elite to one of the worst in the league. They just got demolished because they couldn't sustain any drive until the game was well out of reach.
Getting rid of Mankins is the biggest mistake.
