What's with Seymour? - New England Patriots Forums

I know Seymour has missed alot of time getting ready for the season, so please don't jump all over me for bringing this up, but when is he going to start playing like a Pro Bowl player? Heck, when is he going to play like a decent player?

How many tackles, assists, QB hurries, caused fumbles, deflected passes, sacks did this monster of a player have against the Eagles?

Answer: 1 tackle, 1 QB hurry, and ZERO in every other category. By the way, he had all ZERO's against Buffalo. Nothing. No stats. He played, didn't he?

Since he signed the big contract, he hasn't done squat. Look at Wilfolk and Warren getting double teamed more than Seymour. The days of Seymour's lack of stats being a result of double teaming are over. Last year, the excuse was he was hurt. This year it'll be all the time he missed. Maybe we should be looking at the player himself?

Let's hear your thoughts. Please refrain from slamming me, and just address Seymour. I'm very sensitive, and it's the holiday season.

I agree. Seymour, in my opinion, is the most OVERRATED NFL player. Sorry, but the guy is a glorified run stopper getting paid to be Reggie White. I know I will have the homers bashing me again for saying this about him, but that is just the truth, It's funny how everyone calls Freeney overrated, but Seymour gets a free ride for his play. The guy is OVERRATED big time.

And, while we're on the topic, why the hell do we have to lose Asante Samuel and keep paying Seymour's overrated arse? Why can't we cut Seymour, pay Asante, and use our top 5 pick to draft a DE or DT? Jarvis Green is more than capable of filling in for Seymour as the starting DE. Does anyone honestly believe we need Seymour more than Asante? It's absurd.

Whew....I thought there wouldn't be any intelligent responses to this fair-minded thread.

Seymour is huge and not in a good way. He got fat and is out of shape.

I really dont see anything wrong with his response. I think the problem with Seymour is a combination of alot of things. Now, before I start jumping to any conclusions on what needs to be done with him, I reserve the chance to watch the rest of the season play out. Hopefully, his play will pick up as the season progresses and in the playoffs he'll return to his former self. If he doesnt pick it up, then we have some choices to make.

I also have to state that for whatever reason, I dont think there is any way Asante is going to re-sign with this team. I hope I'm wrong.

And chews his food with his mouth open. He's a disgrace in every sense. You'd think that a 3-time Super Bowl winner would feel that he was obligated to pull his weight. What a slug . . . The rest of the D-Line has been carrying this guy since 2001, and it's time it came to an end!

To all those wannabe head coaches on this thread, I say Keep Troy, cut Seymour. Yeah, that's the ticket!

Wow. Once again, somebody brings up a valid point and gets called a wannabe coach. Were we wrong when we questioned why the hell we brought in Monty Beisel and Chad Brown? Were we wrong when we thought Bethel Johnson was a BUST? Were we wrong when we thought Duane Starks was an awful acquisition? I know this may shock the grey hoodie wearers out there, but the great Bill Belichick does make mistakes and some players on this team do underperform and are OVERRATED. Seymour gets paid to be a DOMINANT defensive linemen. He does not get paid to be a non-factor. Jarvis Green can give us what Seymour gives us at a fraction of the cost. Cut Seymour and keep Asante. That's my new rallying cry!

From 2001 on, he's missed all or part of 21 games, so at least in those games somebody had to carry him. He wasn't carrying himself.
