...and during seven-on-seven drills, rookie WR Jeremy Maclin beat CB Ellis Hobbs on a deep fade route.

Sounds it will be a seamless transition for him, hehe.

PATRIOTS MAGNETIC

Ellis gave everything he had to this team and I wish him success. At least until he plays the Pats.

Big deal, a fast WR beats a CB on a fade route which done correctly is thrown to the WR's outside shoulder or lofted over the WR's head, seems like it's a pretty hard route to defend without Safety help.

Your missing the point. Since he's no longer a Patriot then your free to bash him.

Here, here. People on this board love to hate on him because the guy shows a little emotion and personality on the field. He got burnt no more or less than most average NFL CBs.

And the dude is a gamer, playing hurt. I used to cringe last year when it looked like he was banged up and might not return to the field, but he always did. But most people didn't realize what they had in Hobbs; warts and all, he was still the best CB on the roster last year.

Huh? When he was a Patriot he was constantly bashed here. What is new?

As I recall last year that Belichick guy wanted his team to start showing some emotion and having some fun playing the game. I guess he thought overall they were playing too tight and letting football grind on them...as it does their fan base.

I also recall that Belichick guy saying in the wake of the Cry me a Rivers whining that some here ascribe to that Ellis Hobbs was good for this team.

I hope for their sake his replacements can get on the field, stay on the field, never take a misstep, make a mistake or get hung out to dry, can play through injuries and block out the noise and have their teamates and coaches backs... and I hope they don't get eaten alive by the kneejerk segment of the fan base when their coached to keep the ball in front of them and asked to play zone with an eight yard cushion that by nature often results in one bend but don't break completion after another...but I'm not naive enough to believe those aren't unrealistic expectations in NE.
