He was quoted during the first set of OTA's as not quite understanding the defense yet, and disliking the weight room. And during this set, he is not in the LB mix. Too bad. He sure has the size and speed, but maybe not the right approach.
ideally, he's cut and put back on the ps (assuming he's eligible and he's still worth it), and then we sign Ellis for cheap. too bad he isn't turning into anything.
inside = bruschi, mayo, guyton, lenon
outside = AD, woods, crable, Tully, Ellis
Are the Patriots interested in Ellis? I thought that it was reported that they were not.
They weren't interested in *trading* for him, as this day (i.e. the day he's cut) was seen as fait accompli. So no sense giving up a draft pick when you can try to get him as a FA.
Ah, good point. I didn't think of that, I just thought that they were just not interested, PERIOD. BB is very picky when it comes to linebackers.
Still, if they really, really wanted him (or any team did) you'd think someone would pony up a 6th or a 7th to avoid the risk of him hitting FA. So I wouldn't think he'll have any super hot-to-trot suitors out there ...
