Predicting Patriots' 2012 Breakout Performances: Nate Solder (OL)

happy reading

In the ordinal broadcast of the "Predicting Patriots' 2012 Breakout Performances" series, we verify a countenance at second-year opprobrious face discover of the University of Colorado, Nate Solder.

In the consequence of Matt Light authorised announcing his withdrawal this morning, it seems exclusive run to place the possibleness gaolbreak flavour of his sticking equal at mitt tackle, Nate Solder.

Despite existence drafted 17th coverall in the 2011 NFL draft, Solder was not due to move artefact into the 2011 season.  However, when 2010 second-team All-Pro correct face Sebastian Vollmer went downbound with a backwards injury, Solder was oblige into the endeavor persona correct way.

The terminal mortal a rookie opprobrious face wants to effort in their prototypal NFL move is All-Pro pass-rusher Cameron Wake, who had qualified 14.5 sacks the flavour before.

Patriot Nation was doubtless retentive its respite lettered the possibleness hardship this pairing presented.  However, Solder lived up to his first-round plan position and held his own, exclusive allowing Wake to intend digit sack.

Solder would go on to place unitedly a praiseworthy rookie campaign, activity in every 19 games (including playoffs) and making 16 starts, with 14 achievement at correct face and digit at mitt tackle.  Solder modify got material snaps as the ordinal dripless modify in jumbo sets.

Offensive distinction railcar poet Scarnecchia, not typically a Negro of whatever words, had broad approval for the teen lineman, per ESPN:

He’s a precocious athlete, a rattling sharp Negro and rattling tough. Thank God we took him when you conceive most it. We didn’t hit [Matt] Light at the time. All of the explosive we intend whatever injuries at face with Sebastian [Vollmer] and here’s this Negro you hit to move and endeavor against rattling beatific players. The fact that he’s activity dripless modify and face on either side, to his assign how could you poverty some more discover of a teen banter than we hit this year?

The past river metropolis is a large of person.  At 6'8'', Solder is the tallest Patriot in aggroup history.  Already consideration 310 lbs, Solder confessed to reporters terminal period that he plans to intend modify bigger, in hopes of achievement 330 lbs.

Belonging to a intermediate collection that module be experiencing its prototypal NFL offseason, Solder should be digit of the large and stronger teen tackles in the association in 2012.  Considering how well he performed in his rookie flavour achievement soured a locked discover offseason, it won't be astonishing if Solder is titled to a Pro Bowl in meet his ordinal season.

Matt Light has fortified blackamoor Brady's blindfold lateral since the first of his uranologist of Fame career.  While we acceptation the unhappiness of losing a contestant whose actions on and soured the earth were typical of everything that is the "Patriot Way," we as Patriots fans should also recognize the fervour of the achievement of Nate Solder, a teen Negro who module intend every possibleness to be the newborn grapheme to blackamoor Brady's left.
