I do think there is still interest in [Mat Light] coming back if the sides can reach an agreement. I’d lean toward it not happening, with Light landing in Kansas City. Makes too much sense to me.

Interesting. I’ve been of the opinion that Light would be back for a year or two, giving Solder some time. Definitely something we’ll ask Reiss about this weekend on the podcast.

“Every pick that’s happening,” he said, “we’re talking about the potential of trading up or back. When we get to our spot, we’re thinking about not only the player but about trading back and what’s the value in that.

"Is there a group of four players there, that if we move back three spots, we know we’re going to get a good player we like that will help this football team and get an extra pick? Or does it make sense if we’re three picks away and we know that there’s a chance that, [for example] Matt Light, that he’s going to disappear off the board? And what would it cost us to assure that we get the guy that we want? We did that with Matt Light and Ty Warren with the Patriots.”

If that seems like a lot of action in a short amount of time, that’s because it is. Pioli says at the end of the day you should be “emotionally exhausted” rather than sitting around waiting for your turn to pick.

“You have to think – be proactive. Even if you don’t do it, think about different ways that you can strategize at having a better chance of doing what you believe is right.

"Sometimes it doesn’t work out. Sometimes you make moves and you completely blow it and make the wrong choice or wrong decision. or you go up and get a guy that doesn’t work out. As long as you put the time and energy into it, you increase the chances of making good decisions.”

I hope to be back. If you’re fortunate to play somewhere for 10 years, and you’re going and looking for another contract, you’d like to finish it somewhere that you have familiarity and you know the people. I’ve been a big fan of this organization and what they’ve done, but it is a business. I’m very cognizant of that fact and understand that. They have decisions they have to make and I have decisions I have to make. If we can find a common ground, I’d love to be back.

Light is the Pats’ NFLPA rep. The 33-year-old wants to return to New England, and beat writer Ian Rapoport suggests a three-year compromise in the $5 million-a-year range. According to Pro Football Focus, Light was the fifth best run-blocking tackle in the NFL last season, but 55th in pass blocking.

Matt Light Appreciation Post

by

Offensive lineman often go unnoticed until they have a bad game but today I’d like to take a second to throw some love at Matt Light. Since becoming the regular starter in 2001 Light has only missed 18 total games. That’s 13 in 2005 and 5 in 2009. Pretty impressive when you consider he’s often facing the other teams best pass rusher and he’s always right in the trenches.

You also have to love Light’s good nature off the field. He’s funny and has that hillbilly charm that makes him seem like the Patriot you’d most want to split a few pitchers with.

When you look around the rest of the league you can find many teams struggling to find that all-important left tackle piece. Some fans love to get on Light’s case if gives up a sack, or say that Sebastian Vollmer should take his job, but they ignore the fact that Light has been protecting Tom Brady’s blindside his entire career and has been a huge part of all the games won and touchdowns thrown. Show me a left tackle that plays ten seasons and never gives up a sack.

Not to mention how well he’s able to move in space and block on the screen passes that the Patriots love to run. He’s been an essential part of the Patriots success both on the field and off it, and never gets any of the credit he deserves.

So this post is for you, Matt Light. Thanks for the decade of work!

Channing vs. McClain: Idiot vs. Idiot

There’s been a lot on “SpitGate” today. Did Le’Ron McClain spit in Channing Crowder’s face? I can imagine Crowder probably said something to deserve it if he did. And I can also imagine McClain denying it even if he did it. So who really cares, they’re both idiots.

Patriots fans don’t really have alot of love for either Crowder or McClain. We all remember when Crowder said something personal to get Matt Light to pound his head like he did in the picture below.

            

And then there’s McClain, whose stupid penalty against the Patriots cost the Ravens the game earlier this year. 

The only question is who’s the bigger idiot.
