We needed more defensive turnover. The issue has been talent level.
Well, there's too much turnover because the Pats can't sign/draft/acquire talented players, don't you think?
A good example is safety. The issue is talent. Belichick thought that Barrett and Brown are better choices that Meriweather and Sanders. Belichick thought that he could bring a special teamer for the #4 safety spot (Ihedigbo was a success).
I believe that Belichick was wrong both is his talent assessment and his timing. Sanders should still be one of our five safeties while Belichick developed Barrett and Brown.
Another freaking dumbazzed poll ...
I'm sure belichick will be checking it to see if he made the right move. :nosmile:
The issue isn't inherently turnover. It's that guys are being jettisoned without anyone who can replace them on the roster.
I'm pretty sure that BB knows he's made a lot of bad moves, and I'm sure that he's still fine with some of the crap moves he's made. The question I have is whether or not he knows WHY they were bad moves, and why people think that moves he'd still defend were garbage moves.
Belichick can't second-guess himself and neither can we - though everything is always clearer in hindsight.
I'll address the bolded if I may. BB the coach seems to be doing an OK job, BB the GM does not seem to be doing an OK job right now. Unless there is a master plan at play, I really cannot see what's going on (or a logical thought process with the composition of the defense in particular).This is where I'm hoping you're wrong. Belichick needs to do precisely what you're saying he can't. He needs to start second-guessing himself. Every personnel move on the defense needs to be second guessed and third guessed until he starts getting it right again.
Or, to put it another way, he needs to "self-scout" his GMing, because you, me, a drunken monkey and a dartboard could all do a better job of bringing in defensive personnel right now.
Just you guys wait till it all comes together. This has been preordained from Heaven above, I says!
Wait....
Are you saying the Mayans are right?
