Default If the Patriots don't sign a player to bolster the pass rush ........

...... will you be irked (and please don't say they took care of it in the draft with the Markell Carter pick)?

I for one will be irked if we have to go another year watching opposing QBs eat picnic lunches before they throw their passes.

We have enough young players on defense that this defense could look entirely different this year WITHOUT any additions. Granted this could be a positive OR negative change, but I'm willing to see how Cunningham, Ninkovich, Brace, Pryor, McCourty, Chung, Fletcher, Mayo (yes, he's still getting better), and Spikes look before assuming it will be just like last year... when we still led the league in turnovers.

This isn't even including the hopefully healthy return of our best DE (Warren) and our best veteran corner (Bodden).

A signing would be grand (and expected, at least for depth), but I'm not cashing out if there's no big name additions here in the next month.

I've been *****ing and moaning for the past 3 seasons because of the non existent pass rush. I don't expect BB to adress it yet again which baffles me.

Like TBC or not, he has led the team in sacks 2 years in a row. With TBC injured, it is nearly 100 % that a pass rusher is brought into camp.

So is Vernon Gholston. That could be one hell of a pass rush duo

I'm fine with the roster, the return of the injured DL and Bodden, plus Experience with the LB's in the system the D will be much better than last year including the pass rush.

And TBC will be released Thursday, per Schefter

I wonder if we finally see Jason Taylor on the Pats.
