Sacrilege: These Two Vets Should GO - Page 3 - New England Patriots Forums

Why would you get rid of Harrison? He can be outstanding if you play him more in a rotational basis than full time. He is a great leader to boot.

Why is it an either or with Lynch and Harrison anyway? I think we keep both.

By the end of the Dallas game last year, Witten was ready for a 3-week vacation. Rodney bought him the ticket. He may have slowed down, but there is no tougher or savvier safety in the league.

Even with Tank on the 53, Rodney would have stayed, and Lynch was the second choice after Tank.

Maybe you should buy the Chiefs or the Dolphins.

So what is gained by cutting Harrison? Are you seeing this as a money saver?? What is gained by taking away leadership?? Are the special teams going to be better with less experience out there without Izzo? He wasn't on the field on either of those touchdowns...maybe if he was that wouldn't have happened...again what is gamed??
Who do you replace these vets with??

Now those who said Rodney is to be cut, go wash your mouth out with soap. Last year Rodney played at a high level. He made the int that sealed a playoff game. He still is valuable.

Now with Izzo, I had him off my 53 man projection. But he may stay now that Webster was cut and O'Callahan is on IR.

yeah, no way rodney gets cut. he is the emotional leader of this defense on the field. he's lost a step or two in the past couple years, but he is still of value here.

Webster, O'C and Izzo play completely different positions, but they were battling for a roster spot?

You obviously didn't watch the game against the Eagles last Saturday. Rodney was all over the field and clearly ready to play a full season at a high level.
I agree with you on Izzo, but [personal insults deleted; please see site rules]

Ummm... yeah.

Cut Rodney, friggin genius!

Rodney commands respect both on the field and in the locker room. Lynch is a first year player on this team. Not to mention Rodney is better than Lynch.

If they were to have a race, I bet Rodney would win.

I want more speed:

Whilhite at CB and returns
Guyton at LB
Ventrone as my Binky
With 5 RB's,you only need 2 TE's

Alexander and Hobson should both go,but if you need to keep one,Alexander is out because Hobson can play outside.

This is what I want...and I'm going to hold my breath until I turn blue.....so there

Are you nuts?

Lynch is far INFERIOR to Harrison. Izzo is the only special teams "ace" we have - and I 'dunno 'bout you, but special teams coverage has sucked this preseason.

And, like many others out there, what is the love for Vetrone? Yah, he's a nice story. But c'mon. C-yah!
