via www.boston.com View full size photo uploaded June 16, 2009 Membership in "The Pig Pile" must require facial hair and biceps the size of a redwood. Don't let me forget tipping the scales at over 300 pounds. Yup, really big boys. Torn apart by a dominant Giants defense, they have been held accountable to some degree for the Super Bowl XLII loss. Not unwarranted, Brady was sacked five times....

Overview The Patriots’ offensive line may be on the verge of major turnover. With Logan Mankins, Stephen Neal, and Nick Kaczur expiring after 2009, the Patriots will likely be looking to groom line prospects for the future. At center, Dan Koppen is signed through 2011, and at left tackle, Matt Light is signed through 2010. While [...]

FOXBOROUGH - Asked to describe the blocking style of newly minted fullback Russ Hochstein, running backs LaMont Jordan and Sammy Morris, as well as guard Logan Mankins, all came up with the same adjective: "Downhill." So on a day in which snowy Gillette Stadium better resembled the terrain outside a ski lodge, that seemed like exactly the type of blocker ...

by Ryan Wilson Filed under: Patriots , AFC East Twelve weeks. Apparently, that's how long it takes for lifetime backup Matt Cassel to make people forget about Tom Brady and the three Super Bowls he brought to New England. Cassel, you've no doubt heard, spent his college years on the USC sideline watching Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart win Heismans, and prior to Week 2, hadn't started a tackle football...

While most quarterbacks buy their linemen a watch or maybe treat them to some Micky D's, Tom Brady went out and got Dan Koppen, Logan Mankins and Stephen Neal nice new cars - Audi Q7 SUVs to be exact. Not a bad haul. But why such extravagant gifts? “Now you'll be well protected, just like you make [...]

Well I'm finally done with finals, so I'm back with the links: Christopher L. Gasper has a notes column up today, with information on the good play of Junior Seau, despite being the oldest player on the team. In contrast, Mike Reiss has an article about the fine play of Logan Mankins, who is a little more youthful. Reiss also has some updates to his blog . With the Herald , Michael Felger evaluates...

Eight of your teammates were named to the Pro Bowl yesterday, a group comprised of quarterback Tom Brady; receiver Randy Moss; offensive linemen Matt Light, Logan Mankins, and Dan Koppen; outside linebacker Mike Vrabel; nose tackle Vince Wilfork; and cornerback Asante Samuel. Since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, it ties a team record for ...

The following eight players were selected to the Pro Bowl: Tom Brady, Dan Koppen, Matt Light, Logan Mankins, Randy Moss, Asante Samuel, Mike Vrabel and Vince Wilfork. Of those on the list, I am especially glad to see Mike Vrabel, as well as Logan Mankins, Vince [...]

If I’m reading this correctly, there are quite a few Pats going to Hawaii: Randy Moss Matt Light Logan Mankins Dan Koppen Tom Brady Vince Wilfork Mike Vrabel Asante Samuel Holy Shit! Awesome! Washington's Sean Taylor was selected posthumously to the NFC starting roster. That's really cool. Jacksonville’s Fred Taylor was snubbed again this year. Poor guy. Overall, an awesome day for Patriots...

Filed under: Patriots , Vikings , NFL Draft , Minnesota Take a look at the first round of the 2005 NFL draft . If you were to take those 32 players, put all their names in a hat, and draw them randomly, you'd probably come up with a better ordering of how good they are than the NFL's general managers came up with. At the top of the 2005 first round is 49ers quarterback Alex Smith , who's looking more...

A not uncommon opinion among fans and observers of the New England Patriots is that Matt Light is a dog of a left tackle while left guard Logan Mankins is Pro Bowl material. I’m not convinced that either is correct. As left tackle, Light generally faces the best pass rusher the opposing team has, week after [...]
