With Ochocinco, Branch, Hernandez and Welker on the field at the same time, the short passing game gets a new dimension. Add Price and/or a healthy Tate to that, and you stretch the field as well. I doubt if BB wants to give up that potential. As for Haynesworth, imagine him with Wilfork (and/or Love and Pryor) collapsing the pocket from the middle, allowing Anderson, Carter, Ellis, Cunningham or someone else to sack the QB often! Both Ocho and Haynesworth make the Pats a faster team in getting the ball out and getting to the passer.

For the amount the Patriots gave for what they received it wound be counterproductive to release both players before the start of the season. But, either could be released mid-season; just ask Randy.

Hmmm, an “executive familar with the Patriots ways”, I wonder if he got his info thru by playing the telephone game?

I guess that I could see why Belicheck would do something like that, but I can’t say that I’m buying it. Haynesworth and Ochocinco were brought in as players with high upside to address specific issues. The Patriots need both players in the lineup to get the ball downfield and put pressure on the passer. I think Haynesworth is in better condition than people think as well. I don’t see why Belicheck would bring such high names in, restructure their contracts and get them in the system just to cut them before week 1. But that’s just me.

I might believe this about Haynesworth, if he isn’t able to get on the practice field at all. But Ochocinco is definitely here for the season. If you were watching the Jaguars game, you’d find that Ocho spent the whole game talking to Tom Brady, who was very friendly to him. I think that bespeaks a good and growing football relationship.
