"Finally, of Mankins' 6.5 sacks, three came in Week 8 against the Dolphins (two against Jared Odrick, one against Olivier Vernon), and the one at left tackle was against Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs."
"The Patriots scored more touchdowns and had a higher rushing average while running behind Mankins than any offensive lineman on the team. If they needed yards on the ground last season, they clearly wanted to run behind Mankins and Solder."
That confirms what virtually everyone has been saying: While still an excellent run blocker, Mankins isn't the player he once was in pass protection.
