The fact that so many people are saying he takes plays off and is lazy bothers me. He is talented and physically gifted, no doubt, but BB isn't a big fan of guys who don't give their best on every single play. As for Nnamdi, he has been developing over the years and really became a big-time...

Re: Detroits #1 pick in the draft? I know the whole point of this thread is what if we had the #1 pick, but the way I see it, Detroit is not the top candidate for Matt. We do have a chance to trade him though but more likely to: - Tampa Bay: definitely needs a young QB, Matt fits the bill -...

The tide in the NFL has shifted and the system of using a single star running back is mostly out of fashion right now. Teams like have a committee of running backs and we have a decent committee, so drafting a runner on Day 1 would be surprising. Having said that, the Clemson RB is very...

Well our coaching staff has done a wonderful job with other prima donnas like Randy Moss and Corey Dillon. The difference is that those guys were actually hungry for wins and trophies. They were determined so they fit in well here despite their former attitude problems. Is Winslow as...

Mike Shanahan and his staff have always been fantastic at developing great linemen though. It seems that every year Denver have a top-notch O-line regardless of who is actually starting. We will see how they do now that Shanahan is gone, but nonetheless kudos to Clady. That's truly an...

I noticed a few people mention Alex Mack here and it would be no surprise to me if BB goes with him in the first round. Granted, its impossible to predict the draft accurately, but Mack seems like the sort of guy that BB would like: smart, studious, hard-working, and tough. Why not take him...

I just wanted to get a quick word in here. In my own opinion our top priority ought to be a playmaking DB that can force turnovers, but deep inside something tells me that this year we will be seeing conservative picks. I could be wrong, no doubt, but somehow I feel like linemen (on both sides)...

Well it all depends on who is available when we pick and I am not an expert on the draft, but I would not be surprised to see BB go with a conservative pick this year. Someone solid if unspectacular, like Alex Mack, a lineman from Cal, would be fine by me. Linemen are always good to have and...

Well these picks didn't really pan out (though the jury is still out on Laurence Maroney), but I tend to trust our management when it comes to the draft. Normally they do a fine job finding the right players, you just can't really hope for every pick to be great. At the end of the day most...

It was not a great season. Since when is this team about numbers? Since when is this team about regular season stats? Last I checked, this team was all about winning Super Bowls. And we didnt win the Super Bowl. So if this is now a team that considers it a great season to set regular season...

We will be better because hopefully the arrogance will get beat out of this team, we will go back to being the humble, hardworking, bluecollar underdogs that we have always been, and we will go back to winning games the old fashioned way: hard defense, toughness, and brutal running. Thats our...

This kid is such an enigma to me, a mystery of the highest footballing degree. Judging from the first few seasons of his career, you'd think Eli Manning was a bust, especially considering what New York gave up to take him away from San Diego. And yet every once in a while he starts throwing...

I do want to see Moss challenge Rice for the greatest of all time, but IMO he could do that by only playing another 3-4 years (which is very reasonable). If in the next three seasons he adds, say, 4000 receiving yards (to put him over 15,000), 30 touchdowns (to put him over 150), and 300...

Look for BB and Pioli to trade down into the first round and grab a second round pick in return. Then who knows what will happen. My bet is that we will go for an offensive lineman with that later draft pick, the most likely candidates being Jeff Otah or Roy Schuening (a reach, but he is another...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I can understand why some people dislike Ty. I, personally, am a big fan of his. He did a lot for the Patriots and was a stellar player against Manning, which always counts for a lot in my book :D . He may have left New England for money, but from a...

Re: If Giants come to play ... any concerns? I really hope Patriots players are not like some of the Patriots fans around here. The Giants may not be anything special, but they have talanted players on both sides of the ball and we are not invulnerable to hubris. New York has every reason...

I dont see how anyone was saying that the "Patriots suck" or that they have lost faith in this team. All the thread-starter was saying, it seems to me, is that the Jags are the kind of tough team that could cause the Pats problems. And that is true, because they are indeed a tough team and...

I hope he sits on the bench against the Giants instead of risking injury for the sake of same over-glorified personal achievement. In all honesty, I would be disappointed to see our starters out there against New York, because winning the Super Bowl should be all that matters and we should not...

And thats all that matters, at least in my opinion- the victory. To be quite frank, I dont care much for Brady or Moss's personal records (though I'd be happy for them if they get the TD records). I've always been a fan of the old-style Patriots smashmouth, grind, hardnosed football in adverse...

I, personally, would not want to see a dome. This team has made its reputation playing hard when the going gets tough. In adverse conditions, we have been stronger, better prepared, and more hardnosed than any other team in the NFL over the past 5 years. We have built our reputation as a tough...
