O.K., sharpen up your keyboards, because I've got a question to ask all of you.
I am doing my due diligence and reading as much preseason Pats stuff as I can. I have seen in several places concern about the Pats OLine protecting Brady. The verbiage usually goes something like "Brady has been hit alot the last couple of years, and with an expected increase in passes thrown this year, that could be an issue". Words to that effect.
This seems to be a fantastic OLine on paper. In fact, they have litterally 3 right tackles that could start on most teams in this league.
So, I guess it does seem Brady gets pounded alot, despite his lightning quick release.
My questions are: What is your assessement of the OLINE? Are we, as Pats fans, overrating how good they are? How do you account for the talent that appears to be there vs. the seemingly large number of hits Brady takes?
