Is there any chance Vollmer will start this year? If the Browns got to Brady last night, imagine what the giants are going to do - even there backup lineman are good. not only that, the skins have a good defense too.
Vollmer looked a lot worse than any of the starters, and he was playing against the second string.
The issues the first string had were the protection calls.
Not to mention if the BROWNS were getting to Brady last night from another City, we're REALLY screwed!
I think people on this board SEVERELY underestimate the influence scheming and gameplanning has on pass protection. We looked very vanilla in our pass pro last night, and I can't believe the overreacting on this board.
Say it with me now...PRE...SEASON

Protection calls is right as BB mentioned after the game. Kaczur's missed block was because he protected inside and thought Fred Taylor had the outside per the call but Taylor went to block the middle which was taken care of. That will be worked out for the regular season, I'm not worried at all.

It was a play action pass, so there was no way Taylor could perform the play action and get outside fast enough to block. Also after the play Kaczur went over to Neal to ***** about it, not Taylor. He definitly had a mental breakdown
From Andy M: Nick Kaczur seems to have mental breakdowns a lot, but BB obviously loves the guy. I'm praying that Sebastian Vollmer does well enough to take over for him this season. He looked decent this game.
Bill Belichick’s comments after the game made me think that Brady’s sack wasn’t just on Kaczur. A big part of the Patriots’ offense is setting the protections at the line of scrimmage – that’s something Brady does very well – and there was a mix-up somewhere on that play. Watching it over again, it looks like running back Fred Taylor went to block up the middle, but everyone was accounted for, so I’m wondering if he should have been blocking to the outside right, chipping Robert Geathers to help Kaczur. That actually might fall on Brady based on his pre-snap read. It could be on Taylor, too. As for Vollmer, I thought he struggled at times, missing a block on a receiver screen, picking up a declined holding penalty in the second quarter, and I believe he lined up improperly (off the line of scrimmage) in the fourth quarter which led to a fourth-quarter illegal formation penalty.
Q: When is Vollmer going to start?
A: Not before Will Beatty does.
i guess you're right. no one really game plans during the preseason.
