Why when Mankins Plays, We Can't Run
Anyone else notice this? And Brady seems to take more of a beating. I've said it before - Logan Mankins is the second mst overrated Patriot, behind Richard Seymour.

Because Mankins is a great offensive lineman and deserves every bit of his contract.
Mankins is felt even when he has bad games. |
Re: Why when Mankins Plays, We Can't Run
When Mankins is healthy, he's one of the top Guards in football. The problem is, he's hardly healthy. Last years SB playing on a torn knee, this year, I bet he's only playing at about 75%. When he's 100% healthy, I love his talent and nastiness.

Lol.....I'm sure it has nothing to do with the opponent

Mankins got his big contract after the 2010 season, but he played the 2nd half of the season, as fresh as a daisy, against guys that had a half a season of wear and tear.

Definitely overpaid. I haven't seen enough tape to know why we can't run. But it is weird. His replacement was doing pretty well. I was surprised they signed him to his huge contract...there's a limit to the huge contracts any team can have...you can't "pay" everyone. Welker, Vollmer, etc., then spikes mccourty then solder...eventually they need an influx of talent.

I wish he would rest with the other dinged up players. Looks like he needs it

Mankins has been overrated for a while, yet somehow, someway, he manages to make the Pro Bowl and a better and more deserving player like Solder comes in 5th in the Pro Bowl voting. Watch the film and you'll see who is more worthy.
Donald Thomas actually played better at LG when he had filled in. And I am not kidding. |
