Cool! After we do this, we can simply plug Dan Connolly in at LG and watch as the same things that have plagued our offense in the last three playoff games we've participated in continue to happen. And yes, I know that Mankins was a part of the first mentioned playoff game, but none of the O-Line had a good game in that Super Bowl. He's played EXTREMELY well in the last two. Against the Jets, he, Light, and Vollmer were the only three on the O-Line that played well. Mankins must be re-signed.
I don't believe this rumor for a second.
I thought he was pretty subpar in the Jets game, definitely his worst of the season in my eyes. All three of the guys in the interior sucked.
But yea, trading Mankins creates more problems than it fixes unless him re-signing here is just not possible.
