1) entend asante

2) veteran LB depth

3) good draft


we do these three things, and we will be locked and loaded, for this year, and the future!

I would rather see some veteran Secondary help,Thats where we get injured mostly every year it seems..There are several very good LBs in the early part of the draft but CBs may not be as plentiful or talented when we have our turns to pick.

Does any team want to have a bad draft?,I think no draft is concidered really good until the season ends and you can evaluate them as a whole then.

Did you mean Extend Asante?

yeah - sorry - extend!

as for the draft, I see us drafting both LB and secondary help, but I figure we've already got same useable backups for the secondary besides who we draft, and I think we need a coupl eof those at LB as well - guys like Gardner or Seau, or the guy from the falcons they were considering signing.

extending Asante is the biggie though.

mcsully

maybe he meant extense

We already have vet's in the secondary...If anything they need to add more youth/playmakers. That was part of the problem at Safety last year nobody made any game changing plays. Also, NE has had more success with young secondary players, than they have with young LB's.
Hawkins: 1 INT, 2 FF (good), and only 3 PD's.
Sanders: 1 sack, 1 INT, 1 PD
Harrison: 1 sack, 1 FF, 1 INT, 3 PD's

Now out of the main starting rotation at Safety NE had a total of 2 sacks, 3 FF's, 3 INT's, and 7 PD's.

I believe we have enough Veteranship in our LB Corp... Bruschi,Vrabel,Thomas,Colvin--What we need is a some fresh,young legs to follow in their footsteps..

Extending Samuel is VERY important...We can't compare this situation to Ty Laws for he is much younger, and has alot more ahead of him, then TY did 2 seasons ago.

Come on...The Pats having a bad draft is like hell freezing over...It wont happen

Yea, they need to extend Samuel, and this is a different situation.
Ty Law was 30-31 during those contract negotiations, coming off injury, and talking about putting food on the table.
Asante Samuel is hopefully just entering his prime, and coming off his best season as a pro, and one of his most durable to date.
