Re: Brady's Foot - what 2+2 = for me
BTW, earlier in the thread someone was talking about how an athlete would never take an oral narcotic during a game -- this is very much not the case.
Pretty much all NFL players are fairly acclimated to taking regimens of painkillers. As any junky...
Re: Brady's Foot - what 2+2 = for me
Well, the first question that needs to be asked is why anybody else should care just how you think the Pats should be discussed here.
Seriously -- the OP wasn't spamming or trolling, he wasn't claiming to know anything that he didn't, or spreading any...
First of all, commenting that the article in question focuses too much on stats is just silly -- it's like reading something by Bill James and criticizing it for being too much about stats. As creator of the DVOA and DPAR metrics, statistical discourse is the sole reason why a site like...
Why don't you RTFA before commenting on it?
It has nothing to do with the Pats' season, only with Brady's.
Also, the author of the bit, Aaron Schatz of FootballOutsiders.com is an avowed Pats fan from Framingham, so I don't think he's being motivated by "Pats envy."
It's 4 weeks with the bye, isn't it?
Either way, though we won't be resting healthy starters the next two weeks, my bet would be that we'll be pretty conservative in terms of people playing through injuries. I think K.Brady, Watson and Neal will all be given time to get healed up, and go...
In '03 and '04, the Pats' kept Ty Law around despite his reaching the latter portion of a back-ended contract that required the Pats to shell out $8.8 mil and $10.2 mil respectively, in new money.
That was a hell of a lot in pre-CBA dollars.
So I really don't understand why anybody...
So, the Eagles manage to lose to the Pats by only three points, and the sports media is abuzz all the next week about how they established a "blueprint" to beat the Patriots...
...a couple weeks later, the Eagles actually do manage to topple the 12-1 Cowboys, and the folks in the sports media...
Uh, the problem here is that hip fluidity has pretty much NOTHING to do with a CB's skills in press coverage.
In fact, a lot of bigger, stronger CBs can hang around in the league despite a lack of hip fluidity because of their abilities to press at the line.
What hip fluidity measures is...
Yes, the Pats *did* have a Jets cameraman removed from the sidelines in Foxborough last season, and Mangini was trying to do the same.
When the kid doing the taping raised a fuss, NFL security took over for the Meadowlands' security, and once it was out there, well, the rest is history...
He's been a healthy scratch the last two games. He's been reportedly participating fully in practice, but has somehow managed to slip behind Baker and Merriweather on the depth chart.
Did he not take losing the starting spot well?
How does acquiring Adalius Thomas in the offseason qualify as "ignoring" the LB position? They've also addressed the LB position with some lower-priced FAs like Seau and Monty Beisel -- with varying degrees of success -- and devoted a number of later-round draft picks.
The only thing they...
