The New England Patriots made some key moves to shake up their offensive mind this off-season. They traded center gear at Bradbury to the Chicago Bears and signed guard Alicia Vera Tucker from the New York Jets. The team plans to slide left guard Jared Wilson over to center and put Vera Tucker at left guard. That gives them a projected starting five with Will Campbell at left tackle, Vera Tucker at left guard Wilson at center, Mike Onwenu at right guard, and Morgan Moses at right tackle. Patriots fans and analysts see this as a solid group of front, but death remains a concern. Back up Ben Brown can play center or guard, yet experts like ESPN reporter Mike Rice point out the need for more bodies behind the starters. A few veterans, including Brown and Onwenu, might be in their final year with the team. That makes protecting the line even more urgent as contracts wind down.
