Realistic Patriots 2014 starters/changes

[English Patriot]

Please dont be content returning WENDALL OR CONNOLLY! Unless u r content with making the playoffs and eventually at some point run into a wall and have their tailsides handed to them again. Both are below average olineman! Would any patriot fan in his right sober put them out there protecting Tom Brady against Seattle SF or even Denver when Miller and Wolfe return and im sure they will add a player. Bellichick would have to be drunk to send them out there protecting Brady against that monster we just saw. They are subpar talent who gritted somehow 2 seasons, but the glass slippers time is over for them and its midnight. Also we need a true #1 like Blackmon Brady can trust to beat coverage like the hawks and catch the ball. When does Brady run for a td then handoff for a conversion?? Never!! He didnt trust anybody including Edelman!! Also Ninko and Hightower need to be replaced. Ninko has no speed passrush and Hightower is to slow to strike down these running qbs. They will convert on third every time with no passrush and a slow mlb. We can have any fa we want if we free up capspace by cutting Gregory,soppoaga,wilson,CONNOLLY, maybe ninko depending on his salary. Restructure mayo gronk mankins and brady if he is willing.

I actually wanted to add Connolly and Ninko to the list of guys that could/should be changed but then i thought that might be a bit too much disruption to an AFC title unit that needs tweaking and (with a bit of luck) some good health to go all the way.

I'll settle for Ninko staying because i think with all the D healthy next season he and Jones can be cut loose without having to be conservative as a result of a lack of talent through injury.

Connolly though is very very replaceable and i hope they do but continuity and intelligence infront of a high IQ guy like Brady is really important and maybe it's just the coaching that was wrong with this season's o-line performance because the talent is there.

So it seems the concensus is that none of the rookies will make the year 2 jump and will be surpassed by incoming rookies? Seems to be a repeating theme recently

We picked Collins and Dobson with out first two picks. I don't think anyone expects that they will be surpassed by incoming rookies.
