Vollmer hasn't set the woods on fire either.
That's generally considered a...good thing...right??

Nathan, it couldn't be more obvious how pissed off you are. You've started 3 threads recently about 1) how Solder sucks, 2) how expensive it is to go to Gillette and 3) how Jones and Ninko are being overused. You're just posting out of anger and frustration, in my opinion. I get it. You're pissed. This isn't what you signed up for or expected. You want others to vilify this team, coaching staff and ownership because you're ******** and want everyone to be ********. All of the offeason and preseason we were all told how great this team would be by the media,local and national and, to this point, they've been disappointing and like all of us you're afraid they're going to suck all season and, in particular, suck in front of the world on national TV the next 2 weeks. I feel your pain and you could be right. But, for now, let's wait and see.Did you even watch the videos in the OP?
Solder is getting DESTROYED one-on-one. It looks like he isn't even trying. That has nothing to do with the rest of the line. You can't make excuses for that and blame it on the rest of the OLine.
No. Just my take.Here is something to think about. Would you be willing to deal Garappollo for a young pro bowl caliber OLineman under rookie contract several more years. Then trade for a veteran backup qb. Like say a Corey Glenn who can play tackle very well and probably all pro at guard. It would be a dilemma.
The thread about being expensive isn't negative. Just informative. I actually said in that thread that Gilette is a good deal considering they're only 3rd most expensive despite being 1st most successful.Nathan, it couldn't be more obvious how pissed off you are.

Someone mentioned that they trust Bedard's breakdown of Solder over anyone on this board. I don't. Bedard has gone the way of Tom Curran.
I trust guys like Sciz and Patsfanken.
Link to the review:Someone on Reddit just made an incredible post about the weakness of the Patriots offensive line: http://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/2hkvre/week_3_a_look_at_8_raiders_stunts_v_patriots/…
Stop it at a little over 3/4 in the video. Mack goes completely outside causing solder to almost have to tackle him, then reverses direction completely. Solder has to stop and reverse directions and his feet are almost on top of each other. Nevertheless, he still gets in the way of Mack, who is damned athletic. Solder stops him from getting inside after the outside move, but his feet aren't under him, so he stumbles and falls. Still, Mack didn't get a clean shot outside or inside, which he could have.A mod at another forum posted this:
"....I just see no reason why Solder should've fallen here. He wasn't off-balance, he didn't hit knee's with Mack, and Mack barely landed his hand on him (not to take anything away from Mack)...like…how?"

Hell no.
Garoppolo is the future. He wasn't drafted to be traded. If anything, trade Brady while he's still worth something and let Gropp take over
This is too easy! Mack runs right around Solder like he's a practice squad player.

Pretty tough rusher.
Solder must be the most passive LT in the league. He waits for Mack to engage him and get his hands on him before he even makes a move. Looks like he isn't even trying. His body language also reeks of "aw shucks, oh well" like he doesn't care or take pride in his job.

Are you trying to say that's good OL play by Solder?
Not really. I would say that Mack seems like an excellent pass rusher. There was a good possibility of the defender getting a clean shot and he didn't.
It's not like Matt Light didn't employ the flapping flounder defense against some good pass rushers.
Not having a tape of any LT playing one on one against a similar move, I'll defer judgment, especially since I'm not an expert on line play by any means.
Solder's beaten how many times on that play?
