What does he do (AD)? - New England Patriots Forums

***Menlo*** · 01-24-2008, 07:25 PM

Watching AD attempt to rush the passer is really painful. Its almost as if he isn't trying. The one or two times per game I've seen him get a good rush in is when the blocker miss his blocks. If the pats do win the SB, AD should thank em for the ride because he would have rode along with history instead of actually contributing.

Wow, and here I saw him chasing Phillip Rivers all over the place. I must have been hallucinating.

As mentioned on EEI, everyone said this crap about Colvin after his first year, and look at what happened when we lost him.

He's made plenty of great plays this year, and as far as I know, he hasn't contributed to a loss yet, so give him a chance.

yeah I guess he didnt help out much by allowing Vrable to move back outside and possibly having his best year as a pro.. not much impact at all

Lomo is made of glass.
Ellis Hobbs sucks.
Bru and Seau are too old.
Moss is a cancer.
Big Sey's a wimp.
Wilfork's a thug.
Merriweather's a bust.
Geno sucks.
Welker won't contribute.
Brady's "body language."

...And NOW, A. Thomas is along for the ride.

I think I'll file that statement in the same spot I put the others.

I think Adalius is still learning the defense, and that has mitigated his effectiveness somewhat. Next year should be better for him.

obvisouly he didnt help much, as he is no longer inside whereby Vrabel is still outside

In other words, Vrabel could still be outside with or without the bandwagoner.

It's not exactly being a "hater" to say that AD has been disappointing this season. He has. DEFINITELY.

That said, Pat Kirwin was saying today (or yesterday) that he expects Thomas to take a big jump forward next year, and attributes at least part of the disappointment to the fact that this system is hard to get "in your bones" in just one off-season.
