Makes sense.

Haynesworth basically replaces Seymour, but NE still needed somebody to replace Warren. Ellis along with the Pats DL depth, should be able to do that.

Innnnnnteresting.

Interesting move. Will be interesting to see what he has left and how BB coaxes that from him.

It's a good signing in that Ellis can also spell Albert and Vince when we are in the 4-3 on Running Downs as well as any down we are in 3-4.

Great depth on the D-Line with Albert, Vince, Wright, Ellis and a combination of the young guys

This is a good move, makes for a real dog fight along the defensive line.

If Ellis makes the team, he will be invaluable for gameplanning against the Jets and Rexy..

I thought Ellis played very well against the Pats last year. A lot of pressure in two games, and commanding a double team in the third game to open up lanes for someone else. Based on that - can't say I saw all that much else of him last year - this appears to be a very good addition for the Pats. Also, he looks like somebody that could be productive in either a 3-4 or a 4-3.

I'll say! How many positions do you think these 12 guys are battling for?

Brace
Cohen
Deaderick
Ellis
Haynesworth
Love
Pryor
Richard
Weston
Wilfork
Williams
Wright

I'm not expecting a lot out of him and am actually dissapointed to have to grab a player from the Jester's scrap heap to get the help BB thinks we need.

Really kind of a "meh" to me.
