A radical solution to the running problem...

Daryn Colledge. Logan Mankins. Daryn Colledge. Logan Mankins. Hmm.

Ok, a two part question...

1. What would you think of a trade for Logan Mankins?

2. If such a trade occurred, what/who/how much pay would you be willing to give up?

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I don't want any part of a contract for Mankins that NE refuses to pay.

Colledge hasn't been horrible this year. My only concern on the line right now is Tausch holding up for a season, and eventually finding his replacement.

Woodhead already got signed by the Pats as they put Kevin Faulk on IR.

I'd be all for Mankins, except his pricetag is way too big. If I'm not mistaken he wants to be the highest paid guard in football.

This is a placeholder

I don't believe there is anything worth giving up for a headache like Mankins.

The OL isn't our issue with the running game nearly as much as it is we don't have a guy who can hit the hole consistently and break at least ONE tackle in the second level.

I don't care if you have a mack truck sized hole, if the RB can't hit it, it's useless.

There was one play late in the Buffalo game where I lost almost all of my faith in Brandon Jackson. It was a soft defense and every D-lineman was blocked. Jackson had his choice of about 3 or 4 holes to go through, and instead he ran up the ass of one of his blockers. I couldn't fucking believe it. I still can't.

Yep, I'm hoping it was just the "omg im a starter" jitters and he hits the hole with power in the coming weeks.

That is not a radical solution to the running game.

A radical solution would be to put Finley in the backfield behind Kuhn and Johnson as his blockers. Then see if they can spring him open on the outside and let him run for awhile.

THAT'S RADICAL!

#10

When Hall is active again, keep all three FBs active and run the inverted wishbone with Kuhn as the deep back. FBs blocking for FBs led by FBs is solid win.
