Re: Pats cut FB Tony Fiammetta, TE Brad Herman, DL Tracy Robertson, DB Malcolm Willia
Some comments on the comments:
1. Tebow isn't coming here to play FB. Why would anyone believe that a player who has never lined up with his hand in the dirt could suddenly become a impact blocker/runner at FB. Tebow was a very effective runner from the shotgun QB position....but that's it, guys.
BB took him to dinner ONCE. Just because you take someone to dinner, doesn't mean you have to marry them.
2. I'm disappointed that Hermann was cut. I was hoping he would provide more competition for the last TE slot. He probably still hasn't recovered fully from his injury. OTOH, it could mean the Pats really like the tall TE they grabbed with their UDFA's, whose name escapes me now.
3. The more I think on it the more I DON'T like the Blount trade. Sure they got a guy for literally nothing who has some proven running ability. But they also got a guy who seems to dance more than bang, doesn't block well, and isn't great in short yardage situations. And, did I mention he has some long term attitude problems. If he doesn't become the primary RB, I don't see what his role would be.
Given how well we did in the 7th round (I love those 2 picks), I would just as soon taken another shot in the round (DRogers, Okoye, etc) Besides, I would feel much better holding on to Jeff Demps rights and not have to face him down the road.
In the end I think this will end up being a waste of a draft pick and potential asset. This is by far my LEAST favorite move of the draft.
5. In the end this is 'much ado about nothing', though I wouldn't be surprised to see Williams make a comeback if we get some injuries in the secondary during camp. There is something about this kid that BB obviously likes.
