He started the season at RT for the Pats last year, but when he returned from injury late in the year, he wasn't able to take his starting spot back from another journeyman, Brandon Gorin. He spent the remainder of the year as a backup at tackle and blocking fullback in short yardage situations.

hwc said:What's BB supposed to say? He's not going to throw Ashworth under the bus. But, the actions speak louder than words. With our starting LT on injured reserve, the best Ashworth could muster late in the season was third on the depth chart behind a rookie and a journeyman.
I'd like to have Ashworth on the roster. Reliable depth. Maybe I'd go $1 million, $1.5 million a year. At the end of the day, he's "just a guy".
