Don't watch much exhibition football unless the Pats are On TV here but want to see when they put in Cam Newton. Watching G'men-Panthers.

I'll tell you 2 things you already know. A team has to have a QB(ask the Bills) and someone who can rush the QB.

Paul has been everywhere and looks to be almost un-blockable at times.

I know, we got this guy and that guy instead but anyone who knows football
will tell you the one weakness we have.
He is good.

Just heard CAM coming in now! It will be interesting.

He went 15th, before we picked. And we took McCourty. So the concept is a non starter, we got a stud ourselves and would have had to trade up. I wish we'd drafted Von Miller too but . . .

Choking in the playoffs?

The trick is, without the "this guy and that guy instead" we might have more than one weakness. Because the "guys" acquired with the 1st + 2nd it would have taken to move up ahead of the Giants were Devin McCourty, Rob Gronkowski, Taylor Price and Aaron Hernandez.

That's the same thing I thought. I also wish we had drafted Calvin Johnson, Mario Williams and DeMarcus Ware. Since they were all long gone, I guess we'll have to settle for someone that was still available.

If you watch a BB defense, probably will never see a guy who is "everywhere" and is "unblockable".. in this d you have a job, and are expected to do it.. in this d 11 guys do their job, not one.

Not sure the weakness you speak of was all that apparent Thursday Night.. not sure I would change last years draft for anyone short of another LT...

I agree. BB and the Patriots are only 14-5 in the play-offs, and have only won 3 Super Bowls. Clearly this franchise and coach have no idea how to get it done in the play-offs...

Damn you and your facts and logic.

I was told right before the 2010 draft that the Pats liked Ryan Matthews, Spiller, and Pierre Paul....all gone before the Pats picked(if memory serves me correctly). My gut tells me Matthews was the target but San Diego made a huge jump up for him. At DB, I was told they liked the kid from Fla St (name escapes me). Obviously they like McCourty better, but if Matthews, Spiller, or JPP were still available, my guess was they felt McCourty would be gone by their second pick.
Can't complain with McCourty's year vs JPP(a non factor)
