What's the status of Tyrone McKenzie? Will he be back in time for TC?
From what I have heard, yes. Looking forward to seeing what he can do.

Why?!? Roman Phifer was over 30 when he got here. So was Seau (who played at a high level). Why would you have a problem in getting a LB over 30 if he is can fill a roll on this team and not cost too much? There aren't going to be many LBs who are younger than 27 available in free agency since they will all be RFAs.
The Pats problem isn't that they were getting old veteran. They are just getting the wrong old veterans. This year is the year that a strategy like that will pay off though since a lot of teams will be dumping veterans who still can play, but are not playing up to their huge roster bonuses due.
Pats need to make a concerted effort to get some high-character, reasonably priced vets. That team was clearly lacking leadership, and it showed on the field.

No more older guys,lets get a vet LB who is less than 27 - Pierce is 31 and by the season opener will be 32
We might as well have kept Vrabel if this is the case
Ok lets just scratch off anybody who sucks.
Fixed that for you.
Interesting, given that our talent this year was better than last year, but we didn't do as well, the difference being the attitudes and behaviors in the locker room due to the lack of leaders.Hey some logic, thanks. Nothing wrong with an older vet on the defense. I could give a rat's ass if he wore black, is arrogant, said this or that. Can he play football? That is the only answer that I care about.

The Pats last year made a commitment to getting younger on D and were willing to pay a price on the field for doing that. Bringing on a guy like Pierce would run in the face of that.
