People forget playing together for a long period of time is what makes you the best as possible,” Diehl said. “Now with someone getting hurt, or free agency, you don’t see a group together very long. When we had our best years here, it was when the five of us played together during that one long stretch. That’s what you have to have to have an effective offensive line. You have to have a lot of game experience together because there is so much continuity, fitting next to each other, being on the same page, being able to communicate when you can’t hear because of the noise.

Great read on the decline of offensive lines around the NFL. At least all the guys who will be playing for the Pats all have experience in the system and are familiar with each other.

The good thing for them, is the fact they did bring in Gregory, who’s another smart player,” Harrison said. “I don’t think he’s on the level of Chung in terms of straight ability, but a lot of times you need a really smart player who’ll buy into the system. I think he’s one of those guys you can depend on. So if Chung gets hurt, that gives them a little more depth and reliability at that position. But the bottom line is still the same. You have to have everyone on the same page. You don’t have to have the most talented or the best players. But if you have players that are well disciplined, who don’t make a lot of mistakes, who don’t shoot themselves in the foot, it gives you a great opportunity to have success in that secondary.

The Pro Football Weekly 2011 draft guide described Salas this way: “Confident, scrappy, tough, physical football player who made a killing executing speed outs, underneath routes and seam routes in Hawaii’s field-stretching system. Lacks ideal slot suddenness but is a savvy, effective zone beater with sure hands and could carve a similar niche as Jason Avant.”
