Patriots Line Depth Crisis | NFL News

The Patriots’ offensive line is in crisis, missing key backups and forced to cross-train tackle James Hudson at guard. With first-round rookie Caleb Lomu—originally drafted as a tackle—now being eyed for a potential switch to guard, head coach Mike Vrabel admits the move might be necessary despite the developmental risk. Lomu’s been working hard on the right side, showing promise but also facing a steep learning curve. The team has brought in free agents Darrian Dalcourt and Joe Machinski to shore up the interior, while evaluating younger players in competitive settings. Vrabel hasn’t ruled out further moves or additions to fix the depth issues plaguing the unit. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
