I like the work that he did. Just two thoughts: 1.) I think he has Moss running a few too many comeback routes. He made a great point with Hernandez running few comeback routes because it doesn't play to one of his greatest strengths: his speed. If that's the case, why have Moss run so many...

Well put. A lot of people are on the Miami bandwagon but I'm not, and for good reason. They are weak on the edges. They have a rookie D-end on one side, and a journey man on the other. Their outside linebackers are nothing special. If a rookie can step up as a pass rusher, they might have a...

Please no. I'm not trying to be mean, but for the love of everything sweet and holy, please don't let Bill waste another high draft pick on a tight end. We just don't use them enough in the passing game to justify that kind of compensation. Our tight ends are primarily used as blockers. That's...

Re: The official Patriots offseason thread Great post. I want to throw in one more draft need: ILB. We need a thumper. Guyton is a good role player, but he doesn't get off his blocks well. Mayo is only decent at it. If we had a really good thumper like a Rolando McClain, we could move Mayo...

Question: We lost and the Jets won this week. Does that mean we'll be picking before the Jets, even if they lose next week?

One of the problems earlier in the year is that our interior offensive linemen weren't playing that great. The best example of this is against the Jets in weak two. When the Jets blitzed up the middle, they often got penetration. This penetration did not always result in sack. It did not need...

Keep in mind, the Eagles don't run the ball very often. They could easily sign a free agent or spend a third round pick on a complimentary running back. I see the Eagles needs as offensive line, then linebacker, then running back, and then safety.

C.J. Spiller looks like a dangerous man. He could be a weapon in the running game and in the passing game. A great deal of people make comparisons between him and Chris Johnson. Though their height and weight are similar, Spiller seems to have a slighter build than Johnson. I'm not saying that...

I'm going to take a guess. It seems that we go for shorter, 6'4, offensive guards and centers because Brady is only 6'4 and his favorite weapon , Welker, is only 5'9. It would be pretty hard for Brady to see Welker running all those short to intermediate routes if Brady has this big guy blocking...

Ninkovich was getting some pressure on the Colts when he played. He has some talent. I'm not saying that he's the second coming of Mike Vrabel, but he can contribute. He doesn't have to be a star, but he can be part of a rotation with Burgess and Woods. Consider this: Burgess isn't that great...

Here's the thing that I've noticed. If Koppen is in trouble, it's usually Neal that helps him. Mankins usually lends help to Light if it's necessary. To compensate for this, we would sometimes shift the entire line to the right. This way Light would have help if he needed for the shift, and...

Those two receivers aren't comparable. When Jackson showed up at the combine, Rod Woodson said that his performance was the finest workout of a wide receiver that he has ever seen. This guy has been around for a long time. He knows what he's talking about. What makes Jackson so dangerous is...

Buffalo gave up three sacks to the same player a week ago. They knew where the pressure was coming from and they couldn't stop it. More importantly, they upgraded the interior of their line and their right tackle position, but they still need a true left tackle. Plus, they need depth...

Once again, you are right on the money. I also think Mayo is playing out of position. We should have Adalius Thomas at the strong spot, and Mayo as the weak spot. For all of Thomas' weak points, he's pretty strong at coverage. I remember back in 07 when he picked off Rivers and ran it back for a...

You said it. I have nothing against the guy personally, but he's not right for us.
