Guregian: Nate Solder departure leaves hole in Patriots lineup

The Patriots have a question mark in a place no team wants a question mark. They’re below par in the one position they can’t afford to be, especially with Tom Brady the linchpin to their success.

Uncertainty with Brady’s blind side protector? That’s not been a major storyline heading into a season for quite some time. Left tackle has been a strength for nearly two decades, from Matt Light to Nate Solder.

Yes, it’s still March. There’s still plenty of time to take away the apprehension about the hole created when Solder departed for big money from the New York Giants.
