FOXBORO -- No one would ever accuse Patriots offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia of mincing words, and he held true to that today.
With Tom Brady on pace to be sacked a career-high 42 times, Scarnecchia knows his group has to be better, and he does believe they’re heading in that direction.
“We should protect our quarterback better than what we have been doing,” Scarnecchia said. “We’re trending in that direction over the last two weeks. We’ve seen some good rushers out there. Guys have done a much better job. Tommy seems to be a little bit more upright than he was in the first six games.
