PATSYLICIOUS

Unless I'm really missing something, Faulk didn't show any dropoff in effectiveness last year. Not sure why he wouldn't be a lock for this upcoming season.

That damn 4th and 2 fail probably stayed with him in his head the whole season knowing what a competitor the guy is

I saw Kevin knocking people back and hitting people, running hard. He looked great out there.

I think he has lost a step, but he went from incredibly quick guy to semi-quick guy who will put his helmet down and get those extra yards.

So, I just came back from dinner and we had two bottles of the wine for the two of us, so I'm not thinking straight, but I will be very disappointed if Kevin isn't on the team. generally I don't care about a lot of what goes on, and I don't think Belichick is giving Kevin the cold shoulder either, they have to get something done, but if this goes down badly--man, I don't want to think about it.

Put it this way: Kevin Faulk is a New England Patriot!.

You can't say that about many people.

You're right, there was no drop off. I had assumed that at least McDaniels and Pioli would throw their hats into the ring, but if not, all the better.

Faulk might not be as quick as he used to be but he gets the job done better than any other RB on the team, they better bring him back.

I'd be surprised if he wasn't brought back.

Pass rush? Uneccessary when you have 72 CBS playing.
Lbs? What for, we have no pass rush, they gonna chuck it at our lousy CBS...all 72 of them bums

I agree.

I do think that he was given a chence to see what he was worth on the open market before completing negotiations with him.

The Patriots have allowed Kevin Faulk to go out as a Free Agent and see what he is worth on the open market. They are confident that he will come back and say "this is what I was offered". Problem is, nobody believes that Faulk will sign with them, therefore they are not going to help the Patriots by setting the market for them.

Faulk is engrained in this community. He is a valuable 3rd down back. If you look at the numbers of plays he is on the field, its the most of all the RB's. His blocking is vastly underated and his pass catching is superb.

I see Faulk coming back at a reasonable contract (2 years). He is a valuable member of this team.

If so, I say Jack Corcoran from Rutgers.

Some would say that if he were a lock, he'd be signed already.
