I really think he should be starting. I wonder how a line of Solder, Stork, Wendell, Connolly, and Vollmer would function. The three centers combine to form an adequate interior and get our most experienced linemen on the field.
IMHO, there are TWO DECISIONS on the critical left side of the line.
The most important is at LG. Cannon needs to be moved to the right side. Kline should be tried at LG. The alternative is Connolly.
The other decision is at LT. Perhaps, Vollmer and Solder should be switched.

The elephant in the room is the team's evaluation of Cannon at LG. If they think that he is doing OK, then there is little to do but wait.
Devey should be jettisoned off the roster.
Cannon has proven to be a competent right offensive tackle not as an offensive guard.
Vollmer is coming off a broken leg last season.
Kline started a game last season at left offensive guard. Might be worth a look once again this season.
The offensive line is a mess and I'm starting to lose faith in DeGarbageMo.
I think a much better idea would be trying to get Stork in there, but if that isn't as much of an option than yes---Wendell, and even Kline should be considered. At least that may give us a better sense of cohesion. We'll have to see how Belichick feels though. I have a feeling that he's going to ride it out for at least another game, but I hope like hell that I'm wrong.

It's a mess whether it's Devey, Cannon, Solder.

Solder, who is really struggling and seems to be most affected by the coaching change from Dante Scarnecchia to Dave DeGuglielmo based on his dip in play, was later beaten cleanly by Justin Tuck on an inside move, his technique failing as Tuck put a big lick on Brady on an incomplete pass (6:32 remaining).
