Bussey had to have his knee cleaned out, he should be competitive in camp. His college O-line coach claimed he was every bit as good as his team mate drafted in the first round by Buffalo - there might be a certain justification for that since he was the LT for a wide open passing offense with a power run component.I am not saying Bussey is our savior or anything, but what was the story with him this past pre-season. I seem to remember he had a hard time getting into preseason games. Injured for most of camp?
His college coach gave him rave reviews.
And someone on this board said the "Pats love what they have in Orhnburger". Anyone else hear this? Source?
Seems like the Pats tried to load up on biggies last year, a fair number of which where 4th rounders and on,,,

When I watched Florida's O-line, I usually wound up watching his brother, he was the one who looked and played stronger. Mostly, he never struck me as mobile enough for what NE asks it's O-line to do, that and Center/Guard is pretty weak in this draft class, I'd much rather draft a mid-to-late round Tackle and pull a Mankins with him.Why don't you want him, Mr. Surly Box? You see O'Burger, Wendell & Connelly and don't think that RG is really hurting; I see the same guys and think of 3 piles of poop.
You really think Wilfork will not be on this team next year?
When Green was out the Dline did well. Green is not better than Wright and Pryor.
Brace although not a starter yet is a good backup. He has more
to learn but was coming along and did farily well when he was used.
Why knock Banta-Cain? Wasn't he one of our Sack leaders?
Look this
was
a top 10 defense last year and it will be better this year. I am not saying
that there isn't room for improvement
but the OLINE needs to be a priority.
No matter how you fix this defense there will be Offenses it will have problems with. I think it is easier to upgrade this Oline and have
superb pass protection for Brady no matter what defense they face than to fix the defense so it can overpower any offense it meets.
At least at this point and the talent PATs have now.
With that kind of offense PATs can outscore any team even if Pats
Defense isn't number one.
Protect PATs greatest Asset, Tom Brady, should be number one priority!
