Mods, if this should be merged or moved elsewhere go right ahead. I didn't see another thread where this fit in but I thought it was a good enough article that it was worth mentioning and linking. It's from Mary Paoletti at CSNNE who doesn't write very many columns, but those that she does write are generally very good. It includes an interesting analogy from Bill Belichick between Warren and Roman Phifer.

Warren and Patriots: A perfect fit

Good piece. The guy had some bad press coming in here and it seems that it was either unfounded or he just busted his butt to conform.

Jeez, I hope they don't move it it's one of the best on the front page IMO. Saying that because his contribution isn't as flashy as McCourty or others, so recognition is overdue.

Gonna save the article for after lunch, hope it's good.

Him freeing up Wilfork has been great for the team, another good D lineman in a long line of them for BB. Hopefully next year Ty is healthy and we draft one more beast DL in the draft, we will be very good up front.

It's hard to believe that a few months ago he was fighting for his job with Damione Lewis

Sat behind Pats D bench at the Jets 45-3 game. Watched Warren specifically to check him out. In my opinion it's apparent that this guy LOVES playing for the Patriots. Jacked and pumped. Who'd a thunk it? Not I!

Which is why we have others around here to do the thinking for us.

Seymore recommended he look into the Patriots.....hmmmmm....it seems that even the guys that are "disrespected" in some form or another, still understand how special playing for this franchise is at this time.

I seem to remember an argument about how bad the Patriot's treat players and that it would have an impact on free agents wanting to come here....guess this puts an end to that speculation....at least for now.

I think Warren will be here for a while.

This interview by Reiss makes it clear that he's a player who loves the game. It's wonderful how much he loves the Patriots but doesn't disrespect his other teams. Easy guy to root for.

I remember being a tad upset when BB signed Warren and John Henderson was cut by JAX as I thought JH was a better player and more left.

Glad I was wrong.
