Great length and elite footwork. Needs to get stronger. Does he have the violence, effort and finish? Not sure.

I'm not concerned about that. I would be concerned if he didn't have the athleticism for the position. Vrabel and his staff had everyone finishing their blocks last season, and I expect that they will be able to get that effort out of Lomu. And while he may have been the last of the top tackles taken he was one of the first taken who can play left tackle in the pro's. This was the first draft I can remember where the bulk of the tackles taken in round 1 were right tackles. And I love the fact that the Patriots don't have to go into the next draft needing a tackle in the first round.

I agree. And if Crownover works out, we don't need a swing tackle either. One last guard and a backup to complete the OL rebuild.

There was one "bad" rep in that film where Lomu fell down.. But even then, Bailey was way behind the QB and a non-factor.

They need a 3rd center. Something they don't currently have.

Stumpy never, Ever, EVAH should've been taken ahead of Kelvin Banks. The last game of last season closed that case Permanently.

No it didn't and you're f'in stupid for saying so. Only someone who completely ignores reality would think the way you do.. OH.. WAIT...

No. YOU like to draft SHIINY without a f'in clue to their intangibles.

Lomu took snaps at RT (not many) in College as well. So, I'm not worried about him being able to play either side.

I agree.

If Onwenu gets injured do the Pats move AVT to RG, Campbell to LG, and Lomu to LT with Moses at RT? That would be the strongest alignment if Onwenu is injured.

mayoclinic · Saturday at 3:25 PM

Agree.

The Pats have a lot of versatility.

LT: Campbell, Lomu, AVT
LG: AVT, Lomu, Brown; maybe Campbell
C: Wilson, Brown
RG: Onwenu, AVT, Lomu, Brown
RT: Moses, Lomu

That doesn't even include the possibility of Crownover developing and working his way into the rotation.

If that is the extent of our needs we are in very good shape.

HUH?? How do you figure that would be the strongest alignment when Campbell has never taken a snap at LG?? If Onwenu were to go down, Ben Brown or Andrew Rupcich are the next ones up. They have actually NFL experience. You don't butcher the left side of your line to fix a hole on the right side.

I'm looking at it from a "what don't they have on the roster" viewpoint. Not a "where can they improve in general" standpoint". I'm not thrilled about the lack of experience at OG beyond Brown and Rupcich. Joel Bitonio would be a good stop gap despite his age.. Graham Glasgow would help with both OG and OC.

It is bewildering to you? Maybe you need to step back and think about it. Look at Mayo's post. Have a glass of cognac XO and think about it.

Gotta love when you make s**t up. I didn't say it was bewildering. I asked how you figured. What's absolutely laughable is you're pathetic attempt to pawn your nonsense off on Mayo's comment. A comment that came after yours and did nothing to actually support YOUR statement since it actually mentioned moving Campbell as a MAYBE.

Like I stated. You don't BUTCHER the left side of your O-line to fill a hole on the right side the way YOU suggested. You leave Campbell at LT, AVT at LG, and put either Brown or Rupcich in. You maybe move AVT over to RG with Brown at LG. A position he filled in well at last year.

Maybe you should stop drinking the cognac and try thinking about the actual game for a change instead of posting absurdities and claiming things that weren't actually stated.

You think I'm weird because you make s**t up to make yourself feel better about stupid posts? That's some serious projection there.
