Re: Schefter: Pats sign Marcus Stroud
You and I would appear to have a different take on what an indictment is, when it comes to football players.
That wouldn't necessarily read as an indictment..."Not worth the money" and "not right for our system" don't apply to New England.
I'll take Belichick's word on whether Stroud fits in our system over Buffalo fans. Based on size & strength alone, there's no reason to think Stroud couldn't handle our 2-gap 34 system.
Stroud's play declined throughout the 2008 season, then again in 2009, and then dramatically in 2010, when the Bills switched to a base 3-4 defense.
But he never really was the guy he was supposed to be for us.
just didnt have it for a 3-4 End. Good dude tho.
I always liked him but yeah he just doesn’t fit the scheme anymore.
His skills have left him
His skills, or lack there of, along with that contract were indeed dead weight.
Glad to see him go, but I wish him well.
Stroud was a terrible fit for the 3-4 scheme Chan Gailey has been trying to install. He lacks the speed necessary to be an effective defensive end, and he was mostly invisible last season.
