Also noticed TFB didn't seem all that pressured yesterday.
Good work.
I do wonder once Mankins gets 100%, will BB consider sliding Thomas to RG and Connolly to C.
Wendell is decent but Connolly is a better C than a RG IMO.
Give some appreciation to Dante Scarnecchia.
Thomas seems to do quite well on Guard pulling run plays as well.
Scar can work with plug-ins like Mankins and Koppen who were ready to play when they arived.
Scar can work with raw studs like Solder and Vollmer, and develop them quickly.
He also can take unknowns and make them part of the one of the very best offensive lines in the league. Connolly, Wendell and Thomas were developed. Many posters here didn't even want Wendell and/or Thomas on the 53 this year. Scar knew better.
Cannon and McDonald are still in Dante's Academy.
And to think that the whiners complained about our weak offensive line based on pre-season action.
For all of the bad mouthing Thomas has received in the past, the fact remains that he was a very physically talented individual who started playing football late.
Combine that talent with a good work ethic and training under the best OL coach in the business, and that is a formula for success.
My guess is that Cannon and McDonald will soon emerge from Dante's Academy and take their place among the Pats OL elite.Scar can work with plug-ins like Mankins and Koppen who were ready to play when they arived.

BTW- I feel compelled to state that I wanted NOTHING to do with Thomas OR Wendell this off season or training camp. Neither were on a any 53 man roster I drew up....like many others. However I have long been a fan of McDonald and Cannon.
I guess that doesn't bode well for either of them.
