Get this thru your thick head, scoring three offensive points in the first half against the Jets in the 2010 AFC Divisional Playoffs is not going to get the job done. If Tom Brady is continually to take a beating in the AFC Playoffs, the Patriots won't win another playoff game until the offensive line is retooled.
And, how, exactly, does Crumpler dropping an easy TD have anything to do with the OL?
In any case, (A) one of the key points about the OL is that BB seems to prefer evolution to revolution, and (B) 3/5 of the line, at a minimum, is going to have to be replaced in the next couple of years.
The real question is not whether or not the OL needs to be reworked, since it clearly has to be, but the best way to do it. My opinion is that it's best to replace one or two pieces at a time, rather than blow it up and start over.
