It's easy, and only takes a few moments.That would be Pasquarelli, we should be above making fun of people's weight.

PonyExpress said:I don't think Sullivan is intended as a NT, but as a 3-4 DE. His experience is attacking upfield, not as a two-gap space eater ( as a opposed to every other kind of eater). That seems more easily converted to DE than NT. Plus his height is in the DE range. His weight is currently 328, but supposedly will be down below 320... just a thought.
VJCPatriot said:I don't think Sullivan has the ability to 'attack upfield' as you say. He has a grand total of 1.5 sacks in 3 seasons with the Saints. I would be satisfied with him being a space eater backing up Wilfork. Though I'm not sure if he has much experience playing 3 technique, but he was a linemate of Seymour's at Georgia, so I think he can make the transition.
Another thing to note is the Pats are quite well set at DE with Seymour and Warren. I very much doubt Sullivan was brought in to compete with those guys. Especially since Green and invisible man Hill are already in place. Where we need the depth is NT.

Jonathan Sullivan may have been a zero in New Orleans, but he was widely regarded on this board as THE premier DL pick for the Patriots in 2003. The Pats had multiple first rounders that offseason, and all the talk was that BB/SP would trade up to make sure of either him or Dwayne Robertson. Those two were a toss up for us along with Terrell Suggs, as an OLB. That's the calibre of talent we're talking about.

Tunescribe said:The obvious question is what does BB think he can get out of Sullivan that the Saints couldn't. When was the last time we had a player-for-player trade?

NEM said:I fully gree with you about Bethel Johnson.
Perhaps if they gave Bethel more of a chance, and called the type of play7s he can excel at, deep post patterns where his speed geets him behind the safeties and he can aCELERATE AT FULLSPEED....
Instead,they kept sending him on sideline fly patterns, which has proventobe Brady's weakes passing situation...and almost impossible to complete...where the speed receiver has to give ground, and speed, to stay in bounds.
Deep Post patterns were rarely called for Bethel...
Watch the Saints explode him on those routes.
PonyExpress said:rookboston,
while I respect your depth of analysis I question your opinion of Warren. IMO Warren right now is close to a top 10 DT in the NFL. To suggest he would only have excelled in NE and would be out of the league if drafted elswhere is not giving him enough credit for his success, however much we respect BB's ability to develop talent. Maybe you were just overstating your case...
