quick trigger finger!!!

Play well or be gone.

I think Pioli might have said "wait a little Bill."

PATS68

Maybe Floyd Reese has a bigger impact than we all know.

AndyJohnson

Neither of them have any impact. The work FOR BB, and BB isnt letting someone else field his team

Deus Irae

Who was supposedly given the quick hook, other than O'Connell?

The team brought in 2 tight ends to compete with those already on the team. One didn't work out. I don't see a problem there.

I don't either, just pointed out that with Smith BB didn't keep him around to see if he would improve. Hence, a qucik trigger finger.

Struggling in the preseason against 2nd, 3rd, and 4th team players would get you a quick trigger pull...especially when you are doing it in the 4th game against guys who probably are also cut.

Axed (how doesn't matter - they are gone)

Previous contributers: Vrabel, Hochstein, Britt, Yates.

Previous draft picks: Hobbs (3), O'Connell (3), Thomas (3), O'Callaghan (5), Smith (6) And Crable (How was Slater not IR'd and he was what a wimp - he's gone next year)

Last years Big Free Agent: Tank Williams

This years Relatively Big Free Agent: Paris Lennon, Vinnie Circulu, and Nathan Hodle

This team has a huge BB imprint (not to mention Brushci, Harrison, Colvin, Izzo, Paxton etc.

This team has been rebuilt right in front of our eyes, without the REBUILDING years.
From 16-0 to 11-5 with a backup QB (Cassel) to what 13 - 3 or better.

Alex Smith was given all of TC and 4 pre-season games to get into the program.. He couldn't do it.. So the Pats moved on. Besides, with the guys the Pats are adding to the Injured reserve, the Pats probably wanted to make sure they had the Cap space to do so.
