Dante Scarnecchia Has Tall Task Developing Patriots' Young Offensive Line

In 2016, we may literally find out if New England Patriots offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia can roll out of bed and coach a raw offensive line into a group of starters.

The Patriots have several pieces locked in on the offensive line for the upcoming season. Left tackle Nate Solder and right tackle Sebastian Vollmer are incumbent starters and among the best at their positions, and one interior spot was stable with Bryan Stork and David Andrews sharing the load at center.

Between the three interior offensive line positions, though, the Patriots could have as few as three combined years of experience if they choose to go with Andrews at center along with Shaq Mason and Tre' Jackson at guard.
