As I posted above matt light had short arms.I had to go and look and see what it was because I remember people bitching about it back then.He and will campbell are exactly three eighths of an inch difference.do you truly believe 2 inches of arm length changes his performance in that game? that he suddenly doesn't get forklifted straight back into the QB repeatedly? that he doesnt get turnstiled on all those blitzes?
when we have film of his arm length causing a problem, then we can have that conversation
he had tons of problems in the superbowl... enough problems to make me want to puke all over myself... but 1-2 inches of arm length were not 1 of them
Yes, but Matt Light was a second round pick. Will Campbell was the fourth overall pick who is expected to have all pro talent and that is why there was so much discussion and debate about this. Also, I really like Matt Light but he was never really an elite player. Most people outside of Boston do not really know him well or associate him as a key player during the dynasty. He was solid, but not a great memorable player. Being the left tackle, having consistency and durability, along with his personality are the main reasons he is so well liked and regarded locally. That he was injured, but still a player drafted that high should never be the absolute worst player on the field and put up a historically bad performance like that.As I posted above matt light had short arms.I had to go and look and see what it was because I remember people bitching about it back then.He and will campbell are exactly three eighths of an inch difference.
I would be surprised if many people would be unhappy if campbell had a matt light like career. would you be?Yes, but Matt Light was a second round pick.

My grade for this pick so far goes from a B plus to a C. That’s how bad he was.

Ok, but let's be honest here. Your post is idiotic, particularly the part about "he was injured, but...". I mean, that's so retarded it embarrasses retarded people.
Kelvin Banks had a pretty good rookie year
2nd in the NFL among rookie offensive lineman
i wonder who #1 was? that team would be so lucky to get the best rookie left tackle in the NFL
oh wait....
