Disagree. He's not that good. He looked good for like 2 games last year. This year he couldn't even get on the field and was a healthy scratch. On top of that he went to IR last year and now this year. He's gonna be a 3rd year player still in his "rookie" season. This dude is made of glass. He should get one more chance to make the team in TC next year but he doesn't perform cut him.
I'm so tired of all the garbage in the secondary.
McCourty sucks, Dennard looks alright, Arrington sucks, Chung sucks, etc.
God damn it, spend in FA, get SOMEBODY to help this is so ridiculous.
Can this be merged with the Deadspin thread?
Why do you embarrass yourself with comments like this. Yeh our coaching sucks. He's horrible picking draft picks. Everyone else is better than him. That's why we've been at the bottom of the league for most of the last decade.It's a coaching problem.
Here are some guys on other practice squads who the Pats might be interested in:
Anthony Levine- Ravens
Neiko Thorpe - Chiefs (though not sure that BB would take someone from Crennel)
Michael Thomas - 49ers
Isaiah Frey - Bears
Laron Scott - Giants
Deshawn Shead - Seahawks
Then, of course, there are the re-tread free agents that are available:
Antwan Molden
Sergio Brown
Nate Jones
Kelly Jennings
Lito Sheppard
Rod Hood
Bryant McFadden
So, all in all, the choices aren't great..
Chung can't stay healthy and is primarily an "In-the-Box" Safety. But that is what we knew about Chung when he was drafted.
The only good thing about this secondary being so bad is that BB can completely reinvent it.
McCourty sucks so bad that he's amongst the team lead in Passes defenses and leads the team in interceptions. Not to mention that he's a solid tackler.
Yes, Arrington has gone backwards since last year. Chung can't stay healthy and is primarily an "In-the-Box" Safety. But that is what we knew about Chung when he was drafted.
Yes, it's hurt that the Pats struck out on Butler, Wheatley, and Wilhite. But, seriously people, you guys going overboard over Dowling's injury need to get with reality.. Things like that happen. Last year the Pats didn't have a choice but to IR him even though he would have been back in 6 weeks or so. They had so many injuries that they couldn't afford to carry him on the roster. Just like they couldn't afford to carry Koppen on the roster.
McCourty isn't good. No one respects McCourty. He may lead the team in pass deflections but (and im taking a wild guess here) he's probably been the most targeted CB.
I believe he has 2 INTs, 1 more than anyone else.
He makes a great play, and then completely blows the next one...trouble is the plays he ******s up are KILLER...like a PI in the endzone or a PI with not a lot of time remaining. Just because BB himself endorses McCourty doesn't mean he actually thinks he's good, it's just belichick being belichick...

Without looking it up, I believe Arrington has been the most targeted CB. We could realistically put a dead body out there and it would be better than Arrington.

Haha, yeah I know it's either McCourty or Arrington. I feel like it's McCourty since Arrington was benched last game and the one before it, at least for a couple series I believe...
Yes, Arrington is far worse than McCourty. A few weeks ago, I saw a stat that opposing QBs were completing 80% of their passes vs. Arrington.
McCourty has been the lightning rod for fans this season, but Arrington has been the true disaster in the secondary this year.
