Lynn Swann's stats are still much better than Brown and he played 6 less years and played during an era and a team that was run/defense orientated...I hate for it to sound like im knocking Troy Brown cause that is not my intention...he is just not going to canton

Here is a link to his career stats: Troy Brown These simply are not even close to hall of fame numbers no matter how much weight you give to intangibles/versatility and any other "unmeasurable" attribute

I know we are all diehard patsfans but come on now....Troy Brown in the hall of fame? Look at his career stats compared to other WR's during his time and he does not compare. Don't get me wrong, his leadership, versatility, toughness, etc. are huge reasons we won 3 superbowls but lets be...

Re: What Should Happen To Matt Cassell? Exactly... I have no idea why people keep talking about trading Cassell. He was a 7th rd pick who never started a college game who has gotten worse in each of the last 3 years...who would ever given anything up for him? It doesn't make sense. He...

We are going to find out in the next month or so that some people out there are simply dillusional. There will be all sorts of bold and wild predictions....deep theories about why we are going to lose. Brady in a playoff game in New England in 40 degree weather and we are going to lose...

I'm not sure what the person posting this thread expects the patriots to do? Draft a quarterback in the first round? Are we going to pay a 1st rd pick to sit on the bench for 5 years? first of all thats a waste of money and i doubt the pick would be too thrilled about that....we have cassell...

I dont think we need to worry about Brown beginning a future pro bowler or anything. We have Warren, Wilfork, Seymour and Green at the top of the depth chart and they clearly think higher of guys like Wright and Smith than they do Brown. Belicheck has been watching this guy in practice for the...

I dont think any of these guys being mentioned in this thread are anything to lose sleep over. Kareem Brown was unimpressive in preseason games and had ample opportunities to impress in practice. Its not like the patriots just picked his name out of a hat..when he was on the team he wasnt...

As much as I would like to see what exactly have in these young linebackers I dont think we are going to get to see, at least when the game is close. We are going to use a lot of 4-3, especially if they are pounding the ball, and the 4-2-5 or 3-3-5 nickel packages in passing downs. I know...

I don't think its fair to strictly look at how many people we drafted and how many made the team as perfect measure for whether or not it was a good draft. We only had a certain amount of "open" spots going into the season. If you look at o-line we had our top 9 returning (starters, hochstein...

wow a bit harsh on a team that is 11-0 and won three super bowls this decade...I dont think it is logical to simply look next on the "depth chart" and see guys like woods and alexander and assume they are going to be getting a lot of reps...we will play more of a 4-3 (where we have been...

Re: Troy Brown The only reason people seem to think that Brown should be activated is b/c of what he has done in the past. People are saying that he is better on D than Jackson and Baker. Even if that were true there are players on other teams practice squads and our emergency lists that are...

Re: Troy Brown If for some reason colvin was to go to the IR I think we would need to bring in another LB and not activate a 7th wide receiver....

The problem with Troy Brown is at his age and with his injuries he will not be able to fill any of the special teams duties of the possible players he would replace (Washington, Jackson, Baker). Gaffney has pretty much solidified the 4th WR spot and Washington sees about 2 snaps a game, if...

Good for Pass, he we a seventh round pick and did exactly what it takes seventh round picks to stick around in this league, made his mark on special teams...he was also dependable as a backup running back/fullback/third pack. He could catch the ball out of the backfield and run the ball when...

Re: Anyone for getting Chad Jackson out there after 20+ point leads in upcoming weeks Chad Jackson is not going to need to "spell" Hobbs in the playoffs on kick returns b/c we are probably only going to have 3-4 kick returns at most during the game. Chad Jackson probably isnt going to be...

It definetly is too early to label him a bust. The only reason there are even all these threads concerning maroney is that there is nothing wrong with this team at all! We are 10-0 and have the best QB, WR, Slot WR, O-line in the league..the defense has been doing their job. So I think people...

Re: Maroney got benched last night I don't believe Maroney got benched. The simple fact is that we havent needed to run the ball. Why gain 3 yards when we can gain 10...just to prove that Maroney can run the ball? And in the second half its not sensible to just lineup with 2 tight ends and a...

Russ is a typical Patriot who quietely goes about his business, does what he is asked and when is called upon to step up he does the job. Im sure he could be a starting guard on many other teams in this league but he has bought into the team first mentality. While Brady, Moss and Samuel get all...

I don't know how someone would think Mike Wright is going to warrant a second round pick. He is a capable backup who shows versatility by playing on special teams. Wes Welker netter a 2nd round pick b/c he was a starting wide receiver and a kick/punt returner. Mike Wright is a backup DL...
