On Friday, the Patriots had linebackers Sam Cowart and Orlando Ruff in for tryouts. The team's depth at linebacker is thin, and Cowart and Ruff are likely on the team's short list in an emergency.

Cowart had huge #'s just 3 short years ago. I'm sure he is now slowed down from his all-pro seasons but Supposedly, nagging constant small injuries have been the problem...if we could get lucky and he's found a way to stay healthy th'e about as good a backup as can be found this time of the season. Certainly a bigger name than any of the TE's we have signed.

Does anyone know how he looked at the tryout???

I understand he moves pretty good with the walker and that unicycle propping up his backside doesn't impede his mobility at all.

...which means that he moves better than Izzo, at least.

But all of them still move better than Bruschi.

I wouldn't laugh, with Vrabel's ankle swollen I bet we see one of these guys signed today.

Get set, get ready, here comes Ruff and Reddy.
They're tough, but steady, always rough and ready.

They sometimes have their little spats, even fight like dogs and cats,
But when they need each other, that's when, they're rough and ready.

I wouldn't mind seeing them sign Cowart.

At least we know he's got a clue.

And, if Cowart signs with New England, does he get AFC East Bingo?
