One week after struggling against Buffalo, the Patriots seem to have found an obvious solution.
Lost in the shuffle of injuries and comebacks and poor officiating was the fact that the New England Patriots offensive line was pretty good against an elite defensive front.
After losing Nate Solder to torn biceps, the Patriots plugged Marcus Cannon in at left tackle and left Sebastian Vollmer at right tackle. It wasn't difficult to see that Cannon was a weak link on the line. While he provided solid pass protection on the blind side, Cannon's run blocking was atrocious and when he did mess up in pass protection, it was extremely evident.
