Who has it better than Akeem Ayers?

Wasn't there at least an agreement though?

It was expected he would sign, and apparently he was at a practice and has a locker. But he isn't signed. Branch ISN'T on the team, like so many think

Actually, he was not permitted to practice. Or that's what I have read.

Ayers was on the ground a lot in his first game, especially pass rushing. The tackle would put weight on his back and just push him to the ground, over and over.

To be fair this happens to even the best speed rushers sometimes but it seemed so frequent I wonder whether his repaired knees contributed to it. Patellar tendon supposedly you can permanently loose functional strength. Or maybe he was just rusty. But I don't see how he's proven anything yet. Could be another Sopoaga situation.

???

5 tackles
3 QB hurries
2 QB hits (1 sack and 1 hit)

This from a guy that had played limited time in 2 games this year and had only been there for 3 days.

He kinda proved something to me.

Alright. Just making sure a deal didn't fall through or anything.

I accept he made some good plays. I'm saying I think he hasn't proved he's a solution yet. I saw negative plays to go along with the positive. He ended up on the ground a lot, more than I've seen from Ninkovich or Chandler Jones. Given how important the contain rush is to the Pats, that's a real concern.

On the sack: he was the last of five rushers to disrupt Cutler. Cutler almost ran into him. He obviously didn't fall down on that play but that was not a plus play, if you know what I mean. Didn't Sopoaga have a sack his first game here? Then promptly disappeared when a former practice squad player outplayed him (Siliga).

Hopefully just rust.

Our 6th round pick will be the 192th pick of the Draft.

Tampa Bay's 7th round pick will probably be 194th or 195th.
