Looking over the roster the offensive line has the most concerns. A couple of recent articles caught my eye.
1) From si.com about the Saints, this was a telling quote from Will Smith:
"The Giants may not have started this trend, but they kind of perfected it. They showed everybody last year in the Super Bowl that the defensive line can win the game itself. We watched that game several times, and we know how a defensive line can control the tempo of a game."
2) Article from Reiss on the cap hits of recent signings of Clement & Stokes who are both now on IR
No point playing should of, could of, would have... In the end it is what it is, John Hannah is not walking through that door. It would be nice if Larry Allen did though... honestly I don't expect any players of significance to be added to the roster so there is a strong possibility that Yates is the opening day RG.
I think this brings the Patriots back to the pack, all the leading contenders also have their warts. Indy, SD, Jacksonville, Dallas all have issues. It should be a great season, I don't expect the Patriots to dominate like in 08 but they should win the division and be in the hunt for home field advantage. Once the playoffs start it is a crap shoot.
Just interested in opinions on the O Line or the roster in general.
