FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Veteran New England Patriots offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia has said that he hopes to limit rotation this year, with the idea of trying to keep the same players next to each other as much as possible. After watching what unfolded in Tuesday's joint practice with the Chicago Bears, the obvious question is, "Can Scarnecchia rely on incumbent starting center Bryan Stork?"
Stork got himself thrown out of practice for losing his temper and wildly swinging punches at Bears linebacker John Timu during an 11-on-11 drill.
