The Center for the Jets claimed that Ted Washington was close to 400 pounds, but he also had a unique style where he would release off his block and quickly shift laterally with the running play so he wouldn't get caught off balance.
It seems very unusual for Bob Kraft not to comment on a trade like this, and that could mean there are ongoing negotiations. The Raiders said they got permission from the league to create another roster spot, and that implies Seymour won't be on their active roster for the first week's game.
At some point the Pat's can only spend so much time "building for the future" and have to make and win the Super Bowl, and that could have been this year if the Pat's kept Seymour. He remains a top DE whose mobility looks excellent for his age and right now that's what the Pat's need.
Another interpretation is the Pat's need to be able to move into the top 10 picks next year, not this year, and so they are willing to move 23, 34, and 47 to get there. Also trading for two first round picks next year may not be out of the question.
If the rumor is true, the Pat’s are planning to keep their early 2nd round pick from KC and they see a lot of perceived value in that position in the draft. Also if a lot of teams are looking for 2nd round picks, the Pat's might swap their other two 2nd round picks for a mid-round 1st next year...
Bob Kraft said they knew that Pioli had no further opportunity for career advancement with the Pats, so they were pleased to provide recommendations to help him find a new position. That doesn't sound like a money problem. Also Bob Kraft will be 70 in 2011 and you would expect Jonathan Kraft to...
RAC always got the defense to play hard for him, and that was one reason the defense was so successful when he was DC. It allowed BB to focus on other areas that he tends to excel at. Especially early this season the defense looked like it lacked motivation at times.
Re: Chiefs Offer Pioli GM Job
Do you think Hunt would consider Pioli without the Kraft's recommendation? Bob Kraft tends to think in terms of what's best for the league, since NFL owners benefit the most by working together and helping each other out.
Re: Chiefs Offer Pioli GM Job
The AP reported Hunt and Jonathan Kraft are "close friends.” This is unique opportunity for Pioli since Hunt lives in Dallas and, as the grandson of H.L Hunt, he has many business interests besides his multiple sports teams. Hunt likely needs someone who can take...
Pete Carroll might have someday developed into a fine pro coach, but with a new stadium in planning Bob Kraft probably didn't have the time to wait. Eric Mangini probably had a similar problem at the Jets.
I most object to league officials putting such an important division game on the NFL Network, which effectively amounted to a blackout for a lot of Pats fans. Fans here in Maine seem furious about that decision.
BB seems unlikely to start O'Connell before he's fully prepared and can do all the reads and adjustments, and until then he has to encourage Cassel. Right now BB has to focus on correcting the other problems on the team.
