Patriots All-Access: Inside the War Room/interview with Nick Caserio - Page 3 - New England Patriots Forums

I noticed that when they were trying to decide to trade with Arizona, BB told Caserio to hold the trade because BB was getting more offers. But Caserio had already fired the gun on the zona trade and BB seemed slightly displeased. Anyone else see that?

I think Caserio was a bit worried about the time elapsing as they almost lost the deal with the Raiders with only about 5 seconds left before they picked Gronkowski so he made the deal fast and without checking.

I hate to criticize Bob Kraft because I love the guy, and I think it's great that he talks to players, but man he's sitting right next to Belichick and offering his two cents as Belichick is trying to make trades. Jeez, Bob, just sit there and be silent please.

I understand exactly what you're saying, but he has the right to do whatever he wants - he isn't being Al Davis or Steinbrenner, so I'm perfectly happy letting him chat BB's non-phone ear off. I think by now, Belichick has learned to work with him.

no, they had decided to make the deal, so he gave the word, and right after he did so belichick picked up the phone and it was another offer.
it was just bad timing.
I'm kind of curious who it was and who they were trying to get.

I think this is a good illustration for all the fans at home watching and yelling "WTF is taking so long!"

On the other hand, the Cowboys' footage was extra exciting because they let the cameras loose on their draft board -- All Access blurred that out. Seemed a bit more elaborate of a system than the Cowboy's handwritten vertical sort..

There is actually some footage of the Pats board but there is no real context to understand what you are seeing. I saw the names Olsen, Grothe, Matthews, McClendon and some others stacked vertically. Again you can only see a small portion and there is no context but still pretty cool. Look around the 6 minute mark.

I've just been reading through the trades to better follow this vid --- remember that bottom 3rd rounder we traded to tenn last year?
that eventually turned into spikes, mesko, and carolina's second next year.

and there are really people that ***** about this?

Always wanted to see how that worked, great insight..

The next step is finding out how they make the decisions who to draft, surprised to see BB in a sport coat and tie..
