Matt Light a Chief??

Matt Light - T - Patriots

ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss floats the possibility of free agent LT Matt Light signing with the Chiefs.
Light has obvious ties to Chiefs GM Scott Pioli, and Kansas City could use an upgrade at offensive tackle over Barry Richardson. Reiss suggests a two- or three-year agreement. Light seems unlikely to return to New England after publicly admonishing Pats owner Bob Kraft during CBA talks. Factors working against Light are age (33 next month) and offseason shoulder surgery.

A little too old for a multi-year contract. A one year deal would be fine with me.

Fuck that. Unless its Brady, Wilfork or Mayo the rest of the fucking Patriots can stay there.

This.

**** that. Unless its Brady, Wilfork or Mayo the rest of the ****ing Patriots can stay there.

Matt Light would be an upgrade over anyone we got. Even Albert. Not a bad stopgap solution. I'd still draft a tackle for next year though.

Yeah, let's cut Glen Dorsey to make room for him.

[Amnorix]

I'd say the chances of Light joining the Chiefs are reasonably high. The Chiefs need him more than the Pats, suggesting that they should outbid us for him. He fills a need, understands the system, and has a few good years left. It gives you an above-average fill-in for a year or two while you find a permanent LT solution.

[The Franchise]

When FA hits.....we should either be looking at Tyson Clabo or Ryan Harris.

[ChiefsCountry]

Why?

He is a shell of his former self. There is a fucking reason the Pats went out and drafted a left tackle this year.

At least I don't remember people's posts over the last 3 or 4 ****ing years.

Goes to show what a pathetic low life you are, who has nothing else better to do with his spare time. And just roams around here looking for fights.

I'll say this again, get a life. you need it

Now if we'd only start a capable LG next to him....

[RedThat]

Well, I think one it has to do with his age. The guy is 33 and he is coming off a shoulder surgery so that says a lot right there as to why they drafted a LT.

But I still think he can play. Just the Pats are going in a different direction.

We do, expect he is playing RG for us.

So what? We all say dumb things. You probably have as well. Nothing is wrong with me. Something is wrong with you and not me. You have mental issues.

Go see a doctor. You're a waste of breath. Im done talking with you.

I hope that the Patriots aren't going to rely on Solder at LT out of the gate, especially if the offseason is cut short by the lockout. The kid's got strength and technique issues that need to be worked on, and it's going to be bad enough dealing with the RG problem without adding a LT problem to the mix. There's only so much that can be covered up for.

[BryanBusby]

Light is a brokedick, please take a pass Scott.

[WhiteWhale]

Matt Light gave up double digit sacks last year... and he did it with a QB who doesn't take a lot of bad sacks.

I'm not sold he's got the tools to keep playing LT at this point in his career, because his play was below Albert's last season.

[CoMoChief]

I'd give him a 2-year deal. At least BRich would be good depth, since we have none at the OT position as it is.

Next season focus on OT, ILB, WR, and another NT

Matt Light was covering for Connolly to start last year, because Mankins was unsigned. Some of the sacks he was tagged for were actually a result of Connolly's poor play. If you look at the sites that assign 10 sacks to Light, they don't give any to Connolly. That's definitely not accurate.

[Hammock Parties]

Has he ever played RT?

[Demonpenz]

or we could just cut glenn dorsey

[Mr. Flopnuts]

We better fucking not move Brandon. He's going to be just fine.

[CoMoChief]

We better ****ing not move Brandon. He's going to be just fine.

fuck that we need a LTOFTF...slide Waters over to C and Albert to LG and draft a OT first round.

I could actually see this happening. but with that said I wouldn't be surprised if pioli signed quite a few FA once it begins

[Amnorix]

Either or flip Vollmer to LT and have Solder at RT.

Or resign Light on a 2 year deal?

We have our starting RT of the last couple yeasr, Kaczur, still on contract, but his number is fairly high compared to his productivity, and he's had back woes.

[The Franchise]

Solder isn't a RT......and as of right now....he's not strong enough to play LT.

[Bump]

We better ****ing not move Brandon. He's going to be just fine.

good, I thought I was the only one who thought this.

Sounds good at first glance, but i trust Pioli to find a younger & cheaper version of this guy, just like he found Light to replace some retread on the pats.

He might be the most over-rated LT in the league.

Even at his age...

Quoting this again to point it out.

As a LT, Light's done.

As a RT, even with his age and issues, Light would definitely be an upgrade over Richardson.

If he'd agree to a fiscally reasonable two-year deal, the Chiefs could do a lot worse at RT.

Can he play RIGHT tackle?

[Huffman83]

For depth? If he's cheap...fine. But Albert has done a good job at LT and I'd rather play Richardson at RT. He's young and basically should have this year to prove that he belongs as a starting RT in the league.

[Just Passin' By]

Can he play RIGHT tackle?

"In my brilliance," Belichick said with a smile, "I put [Light] at right tackle as a rookie. It didn’t really work out at all. He has the physical skills to play over there. But, then, he just … Matt’s just a left tackle. When you look at his skills, I don’t think you look at him and say, ‘Well, I don’t think he has the skills to play right tackle.’

"But he’s just much more comfortable on the left side and he’s a much better left tackle than he was a right tackle, when we tried to play him there his rookie year. Once we got him back to left tackle, he was a much better football player. That was his rookie year, so maybe if it was his third year, he would’ve adjusted to it better. I don’t know, we just left him at left because he’s done a good job for us over there."

[JD10367]

RT isn't inherently easier than LT but the inference is that a QB can survive with a weaker RT because the QB (assuming he's right-handed) is facing the rush instead of being blindsided by it. If Light fucks up at RT Cassel would see it occurring (as opposed to it happening to his half-turned back and the result being a devastating sack-fumble).

It wasn't until the 2:13 mark that I realized the LT getting dominated was Solder, wow. Smith was traveling down I-78. LMAO

Light drawing interest: Greenville native and New England Patriots offensive tackle Matt Light is receiving interest from a number of teams. According to a source, New England is working to re-sign Light, but at least two teams are willing to make a strong run at the three-time Super Bowl champion. The Bengals are not believed to be among the teams in the hunt. daytondailynews

Those of you who were against this can take a deep breath. He's reportedly agreed to stay in New England.

Veteran left tackle Matt Light has agreed on a 2-year contract with the Patriots, league sources told myself and @shalisemyoung.

Pats agree to terms with Matt Light
Posted by Mike Florio on August 1, 2011, 7:01 AM EDT

The New England Patriots will return in 2011 with all five starters on their offensive line. The final 20 percent of the large-man puzzle fell into place when left tackle Matt Light agreed to terms on a two-year deal, per Greg Bedard and Shalise Manza Young of the Boston Globe.

Light is entering his 11th season.

The decision to pick Nate Solder in the first round of the 2011 draft caused some speculation that Light wouldn’t be back. Right tackle Sebastian Vollmer had been playing left tackle during the early preseason practices.
