Default Reiss' Catching up w former Pats

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

Only guy to be missed is Sanders. The rest really are JAGs, even Meriweather.

I really think Belichick must regret the Sanders move at this point. AFAIK, we had the cap space for him, and there's no doubt he would be starting for us right now and providing better play than what we have.

If you listen to Carolina fans, they think Butler is playing very well. He was logging a lot of time for them over the first half of the season, but then took a leave of absence from football because of his infant daughter's heart problems, but now that he's back on the field, he is playing a lot of snaps even if not starting as he was earlier on.

Butler is playing the same role he would of here as the 5th DB. BB probably just didn't see the potential to waste a 5th DB spot on him.

As far as Sanders, it was a cap saving move. Hindsight is 20/20, but BB liked what he saw in Brown and Barret and probably thought one or both would step up into the role at a much cheaper cost.

I don't know the angst over Sanders. He was a JAG when he was here. He was a year older, showed up out of shape and sat out injured for most of camp. Sure, there was a chance he could get in shape and salvage a season and contribute, but this is the NFL, you have to move on. You can't just sit waiting for a guy who has average skills at best to get in shape when he shows up not ready to compete.

Sanders was a good smart player, but he had a ceiling athleticly. I like the upside for Moore and have always liked Ihedigbo. Sanders is no loss for me. In short, I agree with you.

He's probably worse than Slater and Moore!!

He's arguably the new star of Buffalo's offense!
