Burgess isn't an ex-patriot yet, but I suppose he can be given ex-patriot treatment. As an ex-patriot who didn't come to camp, he is a useless hasbeen. Of course, had he passed the physical and was a regular at practice, he would be a critical player in our defense.
This is similar to the attitude toward free agent from other teams. They re all scrap heap players, over 600 before Game One. Of course, if we sign them, they will all of a sudden be fine players.
QUOTE=AndyJohnson;1873221]D) Being a pass rusher for the patriots doesn't require a great learning curve??????????????
Please say that again tomorrow when you've reconsidered.
Thats a little over the top, no?
How do you get that out of me thinking that a guy lining up at DE in the nickel and rushing the passer doesnt have to learn a whole lot of scheme?
You do know that is most of what Burgess did. Its not a knock its a description.
When did I ever proclaim Burgess as anything more than a mediocre role players?
If he was going to be here playing 50% of the snaps, he woud be a critical player, but critical and good are not the same thing.
Now do you want to explain where I have said players sucked then when the Patriots sign them I said they are good. That wasnt a fair comment.
