Default No Taylor, No Peppers, Why not big Willy??

Our old friend Willy McGinest is without work coincidentally at the same time Romeo is. Always a favorite of BB, I wonder if he has enough in the tank to be the mentor/pass rusher/role player again for us. He will be ALOT cheaper, he knows the position, shoot he INVENTED it for BB. The fact that he hasnt announced his retirement could be suspicious. No, he isnt as sexy as Peppers/Taylor but is certainly a BB type. Offer Romeo a job too while we're at it,lol. Think he can coach DBs??

8 sacks in three years. 37 years old. Let's get Curtis Martin back while we're at it.

It would be too embarrassing to watch Willie get cut from the team again. The guy don't have much left in the tanks. At best he might be a run down specialist. Definitely not a starter at this point.

Can we get Willie to retire and join to COACH the outside linebackers?

This is a little unfair. I think Willie could help us in many ways besides the sack department. Sure he's lost some speed but he still has his strength and football instinct.

Why not Willie you ask??

Well let's see...

- He's so old he knew the Burger King when he was still a Prince.

- His ability to rush the QB at this point in his career is equivalent to that of his old DE counter part Chris Slade.

- Vegas odds would have the line set @ Brady -30 if they were to have a foot race tomorrow.


Listen... I love Willie as much as the next guy. I've cheered for him from the moment we drafted him, until the moment he cleared out his locker @ Gillette. Heck, I even cheered him as he left the field as a Brown when he came back here in '07.

That said... Big Mac is done. He had a career he can be proud of, and we will all remember him fondly. I would much rather the Pats bring back Rosie Colvin for another shot. He might still have a little gas in the tank, and if he is fully recovered from the foot injury, he can probably still get after the Quarterback. I wouldn’t mind seeing him play in rotation with the young guys.
