Our Interior O-Line play needs to improve.

[thecore762]

I've seen Tom Brady getting hit way too much the last few weeks!
Do we need to stop shuffling people so we can start getting some consistency?

Our whole O-line play needs to improve.

True, but I've seen lots of poor play in the middle of the line the last few weeks, Brady will not last a whole season if he keeps getting pressure in the middle like this.
I think it was a mistake letting Hooman go...he was a good blocker behind Gronk.

The line will need to improve quick because we're up against the best dlineman in the game next Sunday

Didn't most of these guys play in the SB team?

Yes it does, but could we at least try a few designed outside running plays and screens.

We're missing solder at LT, Connolly retired. This line is completely different from the one we had the 2nd half of last season. I still hold hope that we will have a great interior for the foreseeable future with stork-Jackson-mason.

We use a 6th OL a lot. We also use Williams. All these are better options than Hooman.

We're just getting a mixture of problems on offense. Line has had issues with run blocking (no run game to speak of), inconsistent pass blocking with Brady getting more pressure and less time and our Wrs minus Edelman are having serious issues getting open faster. So to slow down the opponents pass rush we need to mix in some wr screens to use as our run game.

just vollmer and stork.

is kline's injury serious?? he's been our best interior lineman this year, but the last couple of weeks he's consistently getting whipped.
shaq isn't ready yet...his pass blocking leaves a lot to be desired. even struggles in the running game which was his main strength at GT

Our whole O-line play needs to improve.

I think that our line is a great line as long as Brady is releasing within 3 seconds as he was early in the season. The line play is not as good when Brady needs to hold the ball after we lost Lewis, Edelman and Gronkowski. Even, Amendola and Martin are recently back, and not at 100%.

The solution has been clear since the beginning of the season. The patriots have never run fewer running plays. We need to rely of the pass, especially the quick pass. Obviously, there will continued use of a 6th OL (or of a blocking tight end)

Kline & Cannonfodder were once again putrid today, just as they both were last week in Denver.

And Bill signs these 2 lumps of crap to EXTENSIONS? More Fail by the Patsies.
