This o line has been extremely young with many rookies putting in big rotational minutes and also endured huge losses that has caused centers to be playing tackle, guard to be playing center and guards and tackles to be switching sides.
No guard has played center; David Andrews took all the snaps at C this season. There have really only been two major switches: Vollmer from RT to LT (worth noting that he played LT in college), and Stork from C to RG/RT (has started 6 games as RG/LG in college).

Other than that, all movement along the line has involved guys that are designated swing linemen (Fleming, Kline, and Cannon).

It's not as dramatic as it seems, but I do agree that the Jackson/Mason line rotation has worked better than expected. Forgive the bad pun...

I agree. And things should be fine by the end of the season assuming that no one else goes down. Vollmer and Cannon should both be back and the interior line should be fine with Stork back and the rookies.

Yikes.  Edelman injured.   Doesn't seem good -- if it was a little ankle sprain I don't think he'd be headed for the locker room.

No Lewis now no Edelman.  No James White sighting.

Well, Giants believe now.  This is going to be very difficult.

Losing Edelman is huge. The entire offense is off kilter

Anyone know if Gronkowski is injured? Seems like he's barely part of the offense lately.

Missed some of the tv coverage but guys on the radio were saying the pass interference calls have been BS. You guys agree?

Yeah seems like an admission from Pats that they don't have much today.
