Whoever voted for TBC is either joking or nuts. The FA acquisition that excites me the most is Julius Peppers. Yes, I'm in denial. No but really, both Springs and Bodden excite me the most because their both 6'0 or taller and very physical.

I would vote Bodden if someone gave me this list and said "pick just one of these players to play for the Pats in 2009". Bodden was a necessity and Springs was the "cherry on the top". Just like Morris, Maroney and BJBE are good for a committee of running backs, but Fred Taylor gives it that extra spice. But I still have to campaign for Galloway; when it comes to "cherries on top", he has to be the biggest of the group because the Pats get a #2 to play the #3 position.

Default Re: Which FA acquisition excites you the most?

Here is my list in order:

1. Joey Galloway - It is going to be great having another deep threat receiver to stretch the field on the other side of Moss. This should be a better signing than the Stallworth signing in 2007, providing all injuries are healed by the time the season starts.

2. Leigh Bodden - It's going to be great having him, Springs, Hobbs, Wheatley, and Wilhite available next year. Bodden looked great in Cleveland's defense a couple of years ago. Let's see what he can do under BB.

3. Fred Taylor - Lamont Jordan departed so we needed a smashmouth, downhill style of runner to pound it between the tackles this season. I still belive Fred Taylor has a couple of more solid years in him and goes great in our offense. He can also mentor Mr. Maroney who, by the way, is still here.

4. Chris Baker - Baker is a pretty good blocker and is also a threat to catch the ball. The only question is: does his signing signal the end for either Watson or Thomas? I hope that isn't the case because Baker and Watson will be a pretty good 1-2 combo at the tight end position.

5. Shawn Springs - Ahhh. Finally a corner over 6'0". When T.O. came to town, I was instantly glad we signed Springs. He has been the anti-T.O. for the last few years. Let's just hope age doesn't catch up with him this season. If he can shut down Owens, he can shut down any receiver in the league.

6. TBC - I'm not really excited about TBC's return but it doesn't make me scratch my head either. He should improve the pass rush at the very least. Put me in as a "meh" for this one. Nevertheless, a stellar offseason for our beloved Pats. Here's to 4 in 44.

Bodden and Springs are the most exciting for me. Words can't express the joy I feel knowing that Hobbs won't be starting anymore.

After watching that video, I got to give a shout out to Fred Taylor. In fact, this guy is going to pull a Corey Dillon by putting everything on the line and rush his way to his 1st pro bowl. Their play is very similar, but, Taylor can cut and accelerate a lot faster. With the Pats having so many weapons on offense, Taylor is going to make defenses look like Swiss cheese. Oh yeah, they also have another bulldozer in Sammy Morris, Mr. Clutch in Kevin Faulk and Laurence Maroney. The Pats running backs are plain sick!
