Simeon Rice on trading block - New England Patriots Forums

Casserly just reported this on CBS. Intriguing as an elephant. A truly dominant 3-4 edge rusher would make this D more dominant.

ever think why he might be on block? because hes old and hes not what he used to be

Did you get that info from a web site like usual, or from watching him play?

he's a 4-3 DE and has always been as such. What use is he to us?

Rice is more of a 1 gap DE who only plays up at the LOS. Not sure he'd fit in well with the Pats 2 gap scheme, or whether or not he could drop back as an OLB as the Pats to have their DE's do regularly.

And he's also a real jerk.

I second that. Having lived in Tampa for a number of years, you'd get all the little tidbits of news, he's not worth it.

Rice isa version of Freeney who NEVER plays the run, at least as I remember him from the Cards days. Pass rush all the time, and takes himself out of most rushing plays.

No Thanks.
