Felger prediction..Branch will be injured in a few games.. - New England Patriots Forums

I just happened to hear this outrageous claim...Basically saying that since the Hawks run the West Coast offense..and that usually they use larger receivers and run lots of slants and throws inside...that Branch would be up against linebackers and safeties and would be more probe to injury.
Part makes sense, but from Felger?? Another stupid presiction..

Ok, I decided to give this show a shot. After two minutes, I can say this is a rip off of Jim Rome. It starts with a list of topics and he rants about each one before his guest interviews come on. I can't stand Rome, who perfected this, and I really think the rip off is even worse.

More to come.

Are you sure it was him? This is something that is slightly pro Patriots. That doesn't sound like Michael Felger.

I said the same thing when the trade first started. The west coast offense is predicated on short passes and the receiver running after the catch. Deion Branch turtles when he gets in traffic. To me its a bad mix.

I also said even before the trade he would be hurt w/in the first 3 games no matter what time he came back because of no training camp.

More Borges anti-BB "genius" crap, says lockerroom in turmoil, etc. So predicable. So tiresome. I so wish that guy would step in front of a bus looking the wrong way.

I actually *shudders* dont mind Rome too much. He is one of the few people that will speak out on things. Even though he often says things just to get people to talk about him/his show.

I watch it only because out here in western MA, it isn't all that easy to get a Pats fix. The one thing that stands out is that Felger is quite normal. He doesn't have to be a raving lunatic because that other idoit from the other Boston paper is there playing the role.

It is all just a game.

Everyone forgets....Branch is prone to injury. He's been ding'ed up in the past. He will probably be hit hard and often in that offense and suffer a season ender in week 5.

That would be highly ironic, and a vindication of Belioli strategy (nobody gets Branch's services, AND the Pats still get the Seahawks' first-rounder!).
