Default Anyone else think Beisel can be a good player?

Or am I the only one? I mean obviously the guy wasn't up for the task last year, but it was his first year in a complicated system. He made a lot of mistakes but he was becoming a special teams demon in Kansas City. I would believe that BB could turn him into a solid starter for us. Obviously Willie will be missed, but a LB core of Vrabel, Bruschi, Beisel, and Colvin sure doesn't have me panicking.

For me, the pain of the beginning of the Patriots '05 season translated into hatred for Beisel. I can't say for sure, but I think the possibility of him becoming a good player is completely dependent on if he learns how to break off tackles--something he miserably failed to do last season.

I completely disagree. Beisel doesn't like to hit people head on, he gets taken out of plays really easily, his tackling is horrible, and he doesn't have much strength or will. He's pretty much the anti- Ted Johnson.

Judging from last season....NO.

He didn't have the head, heart or skills.

I honestly don't.......I think that there are "core" and instinctive things that either a guy is doing at this point...or he is not....and not going to. Beisel makes very slow reads......is a POOR tackler......and is often downright lazy (like not continuing to pursue after he has been beaten}.....like the great players do.........I think unfortuneatly he is a bust.....that is probably why the chiefs were in no great hurry to sign him............one man's opinion
