As much as we need him in the lineup, I think its time to suspend him for the rest of the year... He never blames himself for his mistakes it sound...

Re: AD talks, says he called in advance that he would be late

I call all of the time when I'm late for work. I'm still reprimanded when I get there. It happens.

That's actually pretty funny.

Just replied to Mike:

Mike, he's been living on the East Coast since he left College, he should know how bad the weather gets. 49 other players made it

Listening to the audio right now on PFW in Progress. AD said he watched film while he was home, "quite a few games."

Said he is trying to be a professional. Wants to clear his name.

Said he's dumbfounded with what happen but he just "rolls with it." Says he's the indian, not the chief.

Steered the discussion to Carolina at the end.

This puts to rest all the arguments of those defending him because of the snow yesterday.

Let's see, he didn't know it was going to snow.

Despite not realizing there would be bad weather, he manages to get to work only 9 minutes late.

This tells me that, had he known bad weather was coming, he could be into work on time easily.

Since it was his own mistake, does he acknowledge the mistake?

No, he makes excuses.

It's indefensible.

That is what is wrong with the defense , too many indians , not any chiefs...

then BB should also suspend himself for making game-changing stupid calls

things have gone full-cycle. kicking 'em out the door might work when the team was on top of the world might have worked, but making examples of 32 year olds who are on the downsides of their careers when you haven't played a playoff game for almost 2 years is pretty feeble.

the smartest thing that BB could do right now is lock down wilfork and mankins with solid extensions. you can't just terrorize without some for of reward being visible.

Why is Adelius Thomas talking?? We don't care about your spin dog.

Umm, since their last playoff game there's only been one set of playoff games that they could have played in, and they only missed out on that because of tiebreakers (as happened the last time they failed to make the playoffs).

If someone paid me millions of dollars I'd buy a house walking distance from the stadium. Just because you have a job that pays you big bucks doesn't mean you're entitled to it.

 

[Intommywetrst]

He claimed he didn't know it was going to snow! C'mon!!

 

[RhodyPatriot]

AD: "I'm not a kindergartener"

Says he's "dumbfounded" quite often. THAT I believe.

As with most other players, AD lives in the Attleboro/North Attleboro area.

fact is, the team is not what it used to be. it does not have the veteran leadership it used to in order to keep order in the clubhouse. why? because BB made it that way.

it doesn't matter why they didn't make the playoffs.....it all starts and stops with the fact that they didn't.all of their veteran leadership either retired, got disposed of, or got traded in what I still think was a good deal (for seymour)

the pats could have really used vrabel.

Says about the passrush..."Depends on the style of the team we play,7 on 4 etc.We let the coaches deal with it"
He hates BB so openly.

well....he's right, the coaches are not only calling the plays that lead to failure, but THE coach also staffed the defense for failure
