The future of our D - New England Patriots Forums

Patslifer · 10-15-2008, 01:07 PM

Hey guys and gals....It's not all doom and gloom for the future. Yes, Seymour, Harrison and Bru should be cut, but we have a great young core of players that are going to be good in the future.

Lets take a look at the D:

Wilfork - Amazing player, we must keep him.

Warren - Building block of the line

Seymour - Overrated, injury ridden and lazy. He should be cut

Wright - Quality Depth

Greene - Underrated player and a great pass rusher

Vrabel - Needs to take a pay cut or retire

Bru - Love him, but he needs to hang em up

Mayo - Awesome

Gutten - Awesome

Crable - Future Vrabel, but he's faster and more athletic

Alexander - He knows the system and is nice insurance depth

Harrison - God awful in coverage and slow as dirt. Needs to hang em up

Sanders - Played great last year, this year not so much. Good to keep around for depth, but as a whole he sucks.

Meri - Awesome

Wheatley - Wilhite - Both have a future

Hobbs - A legit #2 corner

Oniel - sucks/jag

We are going to have a fast and athletic d in the future. It's obvious that the older lb's, and Seymour being a shell of himself are having a negative impact on the pass rush. Couple that with the fact that we have a lot of rookies out there and viola. I hope Sey, Harrison and Bru are cut. Either that or the retire. I know Sey will want more money when the time comes, so I hope the pats trade him or cut him!

I said much the same thing in a thread the other day and it was deleted.

And I'm a homer to boot!

Yeah, don't know about Seymour. So much of his hit is bonus (already paid) that it may not make sense to cut him.

Everyone else you mentioned should retire or go. We need a new defense. New blood. Preferably someone who can actually rush the passer.

Attempting the old end around I see. Let's see how many yards you gain...

Hey, I'm a Jets Fan and I couldn't agree more!!!!!

***PATRIOTSFANINPA*** · 10-15-2008, 01:18 PM

Slow as dirt?

I head of old as dirt but never 'slow as dirt'

Who is Gutten? - Wasn't he the young cop in the Police Academy movie series?

And you're still dumbfounded as to what that all meant, aren't you...

You're not a homer. You're either a troll or a dolt.

Were you the one who said that "Cassel was the GREAT QB"?

I'm not sure if I said he was great. I definitely didin't put it in all CAPS. But I said he was improving, and would be one of the top QBs in the league by year end. And yes, I was ridiculed somewhat for that. Called a homer or a troll depending on the person doing the calling.

I'm dumbfounded as to what all meant? I'm dumbfounded as to your comment. I wasn't dumbfounded as to waht the original poster meant. I was surprised my thread was deleted...I didn't say anything other than waht this guy is saying.

And no personal insults. Jerk.
