mgteich is right. It's all about depth with Kazur now likely out for the season!
What concerns me is that Neal has not played a full season in years and I don't think it takes much of a leap of faith to assume that this trend will likely continue in 2010. If Neal goes down in game 4 and misses the next 4-6 weeks, then what?
At this point, after watching the second units inability to offer much in the way of protection in Atlanta, I'm hoping we pick up a late OG release from another team. I think we need another veteran with a few years battle tested NFL experience on this roster ASAP.
Mankins would be a great addition but I just don't see it happening. His time in NE looks to be done.
Given what's at stake (a healthy Tom Brady) and what looks like a strong 2010 team, I'd even be willing to part with the Panthers second that we own to secure the right veteran. Yes, its a steep price but its nothing to pay when the alternative might be getting Tom Brady killed.
Its all about depth and right now our OL depth looks shaky with the news of Kazur's back surgery.
