A big quandry ahead with O-Line plans next year:

*IF* Marcus Cannon and/or Cameron Flemming are on this team next year, (a big IF) someone needs to buy them both jump ropes. Those dudes have two left feet...

Are you asking whether he failed by getting two starters injured (Solder and Wendell)?

No, give me a break. But in the last game of the year, guys were double teaming Denver D-lineman and letting Miller get a clean run at Brady. The Pats aren't the only team to have injured starters on the line.

It would be nice to have a running game next year. Does anyone know if brady had any hard counts? That can slow down the pass rush c onsidering they where aggresive

It was too loud, he had to go silent count every single play.

O line has to be the no. 1 priority this off-season. They stunk all year and much of last year. Sure, there were injuries, lot's of them, and it was next man up over and over again. But there is a huge difference between Scar and DeGuglielmo. Under Scar, the next man up may not have been good when he started but he got better as time went on. Under Googs, even our all-pros regressed. Under Scar, you never had the sight of linemen wandering like stray cattle as the man who a moment ago was across the scrimmage line from him races unmolested to smash Brady. And you can't sell me the idea that all these guys are so physically inept that they can't run block - at all. The Oline often looked like they had never played football before, like they didn't know what they were supposed to do. There is a problem with Oline coaching. Googs is it. He has to go.

We need to find 2 more players with Jamie Collins speed.

You're talking about the kind of offseason that would make the Cleveland Browns an instant contender.

We'd all be ecstatic if we somehow managed to get ONE of these types of players.

I don't think Mankins is the answer. IMO, one of the reasons why he was traded after the 2013 season was his awful performance in the 2013 AFCCG in Denver. He got dominated in that game.

The defense is our biggest strength however I woudnt mind another stud on the d line.
If we can get a little quicker on the defense that be awesome as well.

There has to be some players on a bench somewhere with that kind of talent and just needs coached up.

Collins got embarrased by Owen Daniels in yesterdays' game.
