Belichick and the interchangeable parts program. Build the team like the best in the business and they will respond. Busrod and Streif will work out. Worried about the depth now, but, run baby run...

offensive tackles arent interchangeable....a good offensive line makes skill players interchangeable but not the other way around

the pats offensive line has been the most consistant piece of their team throughout the years....dont confuse their team with our team

we have not yet created that kind of stability

The Pats and Colts have plugged and played with their offensive line also. They've let many offensive lineman go via free agency and have plugged draft picks, free agents, and UDFA's in their place. And yet, they manage to perform at a high level every year regardless of who's there. Their system allows them to maintain that level of success. I'd like to think being one of the best offenses in the league for the past 3 seasons, we have created that kind of stability.

Faine was replaced by Goodwin.

Nesbit was replaced by a rookie named Carl Nicks.

Brown and now has been replaced by Bushrod and Strief.

I forgot who Evans replaced but he started while still inexperienced also.
Stinchcomb has pretty much been the consistent on the line.

Because of our system, regardless of their flaws, we're still a powerhouse offense as we're able to get the most out of our players at the position.

we have created stability, but not on the offensive line.....our offensive line has been pretty inconsistant if you look at the 3rd and shorts that we missed or if you look at the penalties

while brown was good for a few penalties every year, he was our best lineman and many of you think that evans has been our best lineman, but evans has fallen off a bit and because of the pressure and responsibility of the LT position, brown has come out as the most important and best lineman on the team

out of necessity, not talent......we didnt want to pay faine so he walked


carl nicks is one of the best young linemen in the league.....he will be our best lineman in a few years and he will be a stud.....nesbit was replaced because nicks was better



due to injury......brown has not been replaced because bushrod has been playing terribly and streif isnt as fast or as strong as brown

this is a post just to get under my skin i think but its laughable at best......our offensive line isnt something we can mess with......it has helped create the #1 offense in the league and losing one of the cornerstones is a big deal.......anyway you spin it

sure its a big deal if we lose vilma because we dont have a solid backup.....but its not a big deal because we lose the second most important position in all of football? im sorry but you are wrong here

And yet we're number one in the league on offense. I don't see how you can't put one and one together. Production is what matters... and we're producing.

I feel Brown is our best lineman also... never said he wasn't in the first place. You're preaching to the choir.

I'm showing you that we've been plugging just like the Pats and Indy has and we consistent produce at a high level? Does it matter why who replaced who? Whoever has been put there in that position, has produced. In highsight, it's easy to say Player A was better than Player B which is why they were replaced... in highsight. At that point in time which they were replaced, they were inexperienced young players with everything to prove. No one knew what to expect.

Huh? No one is saying it's not a big deal which is how you're interpreting this. What is being said is that we'll manage without him... life goes on. He's a Pro Bowl talent. It would be stupid to say he's not a big loss... which is why no one is saying it. Some just choose to be logical and optimistic at the same time... the sky isn't going to fall because Brown isn't on the field. We're not going to stop winning games because Brown isn't on the field. We're 3-0 with the top offense in the league again... he'll be missed but we'll survive.

now we are just arguing to argue....whatever

production isnt what matters....you said we were consistant.....we arent consistant, but we have produced...3 games doesnt make us consistant.....especially when we've played 3 teams that are collectively 4-6

you are implying that we are ok because brown is injured because we have solid backups and i am saying its not ok because our solid backups arent very solid

believe it or not, i know a little bit about offensive linemen and i was well aware of how nicks was playing at guard......ive watched jermon bushrod the past 3 games and ive watched jammal brown over the past few seasons.....you said whoever we have put in has produced, but bushrod would've allowed 6 more sacks in the lions game if not for brees avoiding the DE that bushrod completely missed.....brees cant do that all the time and eventually hes going to get clobbered

you are saying its not a big deal because we have 2 other tackles to replace him....im not saying the sky is falling, just that the options we have at tackle are going to hurt us long term......if you watch the games you can see how bushrod has played.....he is going to get drew hurt and then we arent going to "survive"......we lose brown and then the pieces start to fall....

Huh? No one is saying it's not a big deal which is how you're interpreting this. What is being said is that we'll manage without him... life goes on. He's a Pro Bowl talent.

We're 3-0 with the top offense in the league again... he'll be missed but we'll survive.

im saying we need to figure something out before we get drew hurt and not afterwards

Production doesn't matter? If you don't produce in this league, you won't win many games. Right now 3-0. That's a ridiculous statement to make.

I don't believe it and I'm sure you already know my opinion about your ability to see talent... I made that quite clear.

That's what I said (bold part most important)... pretty clear cut and I don't see how you can misinterpret that.
