I really miss that cracker
Not for nothing, but Graham is always nicked up too. He hasn't ever gone through a full season without some injury and has averaged 13 games a year over 6 seasons. Watson missed all of his rookie season, but since then he has averaged playing 13 games a season as well (3 seasons).

Granted, I miss Graham's tenacious blocking and he is a solid lockerroom guy, but he isn't as good a receiver as Watson and is a whole lot more expensive (5 Yrs/$30M).

I really don't want to whine and rehash the whole thing again but if Graham was still on the team back in February and was put in to help out blocking in the SB I imagine it would have helped Brady with some precious time he did not have much of back then and could have made a difference, but if I dwell on stuff like that I will just live in the past which can never be changed,only improved in the future.

I still can't believe how effed-up that draft was.

Agreed. Let's hope that Thomas quickly develops into a real threat for Cassel and Watson stays health enough to give us a few big plays.

Quite disappointed on reading about Watson. Even though I was skeptical, I was hoping that he plays a lot this year, especially after TB went down.

This is a bummer.

I don't know what happened with Kyle. He seemed to play well for us with his blocking and occasional catching. I wish they brought him back over spach.. but hey, what do i know.

Apparently you missed the thread here a few months ago
http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-...g-article.html

Kyle walked out on the team in mid season last year because he was not happy, but the team convinced him to come back and try to win a ring - He was actually all but gone before the season ended last year and there was NO chance he would have re-signed IMO

Oh, and regarding the release of CJ Jones: it's about dam time. I'm still waiting for the rest of the deadwood - Aiken, LeVoir, Yates, Hochstein, Alexander, Izzo - to be removed.

Watson shows amazing talent but he's made of glass time for a change.

I was wondering when the "made of glass" phrase would be used.
