The official Patriots vs Lions's pre-season game thread

How many big contracts do you want to expend on the OLine?

As many as it takes to get the line where it needs to be if working it on the cheap isn't getting it done.

Brady really is a handsome dude . . . NO HOMO!

so i guess ocho did bad again lol

there is no way we cut him. He will get on page. Give it time BB

 

[RayClay]

Leonard Davis is 6'6". He was a monster at guard for a couple of years, after disappointing at tackle earlier in his career. Perhaps noting something other than just Solder's height is in order.

So, the tallest guy you can think of is still 2-3 inches shorter than Solder.

 

[FalconHeavy]

Did we get Maroney back ? ah never mind, it was tate who was busting a move after fielding the punt

 

[PatsBoy12]

That looked like really good punt coverage by Detroit, but what was that by Tate? Was he dancing?

There's still a 3 inch difference there, not to mention different body type.

Why would we want Plax or Braylon when we can have 85 ?

Not to mention, I still have high hopes for Tate, he just needs some more time

I agree. And the 2007 me agreed as well... Tom Brady's kryptonite is interior rushes. We need(ed) to address this.

I'm glad this game is almost over. I am getting very sleepy.

No.... the first "He's too big to play guard" that came to mind was Leonard Davis. Do you have that film analysis of Solder at RG yet?

 

[VJCPatriot]

Getting pummelled by the Lions of all teams. LOL. At least this is the preseason. It also gives BB plenty of material to humble the players with. Suh and that Lions defense looking pretty good huh?

Price is a better, younger more athletic version of Ocho and he actually has one more year in the system than Ocho. That just may be what escorts 85 out through the door. Especially considering Price was running with the ones.

Im hotter. FULL homo.

Lol he got up and said you got served

I'd hardly say Mankins, Solder, Volmer and Light are indicative of building on the cheap. Mankins alone probably has a contract that would have equaled the top 5-7 of Patriots championship lines (adjusted for inflation).

Plax has better hands

and Tate is worthless at this point

Rex Ryan called...............he wants his game plan back.

I don't care if Solder is 3'"6, 6'9" or 9'6". I care that the team has a RG that can get the job done. If it's Solder, I'm willing to pretend he's shorter.
