If all players are healthy who would PATs start at center,
Wendell or Connolly?

Connolly started against Bills and Wendell started at LG.
Also, Connolly started against the Dolphins over Wendell.
But depth chart shows Wendell as starter.

Who would you want to start?
 
Connolly....he obviously isn't the greatest but when healthy I would take him over Wendell.
 
didnt connolly start everygame since koppen went down?
 
I would start Connolly over Wendell, regardless of if it is at center, left guard or right guard. Connolly is no all-pro but Wendell has had a few plays when he just flat out looked bad. It is imperative that the Pats don't let the Broncos get consistent interior pressure and I trust Connolly to make that happen much more than I do Wendell.

What depth chart are you referring to that has Wendell as the starter? Wherever it is, my guess is that it simply has not been updated for a few weeks.
 
I think Connolly is a better center but Wendell does a better job against the bull rush. If the Broncos start getting pressure up the middle I can see Connolly getting replaced.
 
I'm surprised people on here like Connolly that much better. From watching this season I felt like Wendell is a no brainer.
 
Connolly, for the reasons jmt already outlined.

I guess they don't update things like the depth chart there on a regular basis. To the best of my knowledge Connolly has started at center every game this season except for the three games he missed with the groin injury against the Eagles, Colts and Redskins; he's been back for three games now.
