Default How the players we let go are doing...

Catching up with former Pats - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston


i find this extremely interesting, considering how in depth it is:

-tate is having some decent returns
-all the defensive players we let go are doing quite well at other teams, either starting or playing an important role...what does this say about our defense?

Sure glad we have Sergio Brown and not James Sanders. What an upgrade that's been.

Defensive players are doing quite well? Did we read the same article? It looks like Meriweather is the only one starting and the only one I would consider an improvement over what we have on the team. And that's not saying much because our safeties have been awful in general.

I would have kept Meriwether and Butler.

Backup CB with Molden and Adams is a problem right now. When Bodden and Dowling get back, it will be less of a problem.

Wilhite seems to be playing very well. He has two sacks and an INT so far. He has more sacks that any of our D-linemen (I believe). That's just pathetic.

defensively, who's doing quite well?

butler can't crack the lineup in one of the worst secondaries in the NFL

merriweather is playing due to injury, he is what he is

sanders isn't seeing the field

wilhite's numbers look good when he plays, but i haven't seen enough of denver to say

seems like the Pats were right to let sanders & butler walk......merri was a decision that appears to have been made on multiple factors.....wilhite isn't bad, but simply wasn't as good as the guys they kept (bodden, mccourty, dowling, arrington)

interesting with tate.....but they didn't see the need to keep a strictly return guy.....

as for the OL/TE....well, there was depth there.....i'd love to have lee smith back

so they sent him on two stunts and he got there....big deal


sacks do not equal pass rush....especially when they come on a corner stunt

Agreed. Check this:

Active as a backup but doesn't show up on stat sheet, Active and plays sparingly, Active as a backup, Plays in a reserve role, Doesn't start and doesn't show up on the stat sheet...
I would say Tate and Whilhite have shown decent ROI, given what that article says.
