Brown already getting to know Scarnecchia as he transitions to Patriots

FOXBORO -- The Patriots aren't exactly letting Dante Scarnecchia coast into the sunset of his career.

Bill Belichick's longtime offensive line coach, who retired for two years before returning in 2016, appears to have plenty of challenges ahead in 2018.

The entire starting interior of Scarnecchia's line will be back for training camp, which has to be nice for him. And at right tackle, the team is expected to have Marcus Cannon back and healthy after he missed much of last season injured. On the left side, though, the Patriots don't have a definitive answer now that Nate Solder departed for the Giants via free agency.
