And the OL Carousel continues

[DaBruinz]

Josh Kline is out with a shoulder injury.. He must have done that in practice.
Hightower also out.

Neither made the trip according to multiple sources.

Gronk and Edelman supposedly both made the trip..

 

[Love The Drake]

I had heard only Gronk made the trip can we get confirmation

We should be fine without Kline we have Mason and Jackson or they could use Stork at OG and Andrews at OC.

What is the point in saying Edelman made the trip? He has already been ruled out.
Kline was obviously injured in the Eagles game.

 

[Gronkowski123]

the line will struggle again.
could barely block against the ****ty eagles, now they have to try to hold jj watt.

tom's gonna have to pick himself off the ground tomorrow night

 

[Joker]

well, shyt...let's not even watch then. You got it covered in advance...

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

This team has to win tomorrow. Find a way. Offensive line still has to do their job. Embarrassing against the eagles.

 

[Ross12]

Don't think there's much of a dropoff from an injured Kline to Mason/Jackson. They have Stork's versatility as well as others have said. IMO they'll use Gronk as an extra blocker and it'll make an appreciable difference.

 

[Angelpats]

Its bad when an olinemen gets run over and the defender sacks or hits the QB, and I think that happened twice to Kline last game. I'm kind of glad he not in just for the safety of Brady.

 

[JMC00]

I honestly don't think Watt will cause that many problems, he's got an injured hand and BB is going to probably dedicate one person to help whatever tackle out on him.

I'm sure he watched that bills/texans game this week, bills made him a nonfactor.

 

[Archeryaddict12]

Kline was hurt in the eagles game. Edelman is out also

The Eagles were pulling at the back of his shoulder pads and that is what BB was trying to explain to the ref. I believe he got hurt from such acts by the Eagles. It was dirty and all people saw was what looked like Kline being runover.

I didn't realize that happened. Good information.

Yeah, while Kline didn't exactly have a good game, the play you're referencing is the sack he allowed. As we know, Belichick looked like he was trying to explain what happened to the referee.

Looking through Howe's 20+ point breakdown of the game which includes individual OL breakdowns, it doesn't appear that Kline did anything worse than any of the other OL--at least statistically. They all allowed pressures, hits, and/or even sacks.

This is not much of a "carousel"

Kline is nicked and Andrews will be active instead of Kline.

Andrews was active last game.. Not sure what you are talking about.

And the "Carousel" refers to the fact that the Patriots will be starting another different OL combination.

Kline was hurt in the eagles game. Edelman is out also

While Kline was hurt against the Eagles, he practiced all week, though limite..

 

[Miguel]

Tonight will be the sixth straight week in which the starting offensive line combination has changed.

Yea up until these last two games, Kline had been pretty good. As Reiss indicated his shoulder injury has been bothersome and possibly impacting his play.

When it comes to carousels, the offensive linemen really need to work on their...







...dismount.

 

[neuronet]

Pats will win. They focus on what to do with what they have, never making excuses like some posters here. This is not a must-win game, objectively, but in Brady's mind it is. Brady has lost 3 in a row once. In 2002. Not gonna happen tonight.

We always do well against Watt and the Texans. Chicken Littles need to grow a pair this week and be more confident.
