Am I the only one on this board that believes that Belichick gave Chad Jackson a hamstring injury. And that as long as Branch is a holdout Jackson stays off the practice field.
A few points that might make this theory worth a disscusion.
To buy into this idea....
1- You have to agree that the Pats want to sign Dion at their fair price.
2- Dion has no bargaining leverage at this time.
3- The Pats showed how they believe CJ is the real deal by trading up for him.
4- PFW is just a mouthpiece for the organization.
5- BB & SP are shrewd business/poker players.
Ok. PFW claims that CJ may be off the field due to he can't get the play book? Or he's an immature loud mouth. But at the same time nobody knows when he'll be able to practice again because of a hamsrting injury. If he was a mouth, he would have said more than "it's feeling better" but uhhhhh... and gives no time frame for a return.
6- CJ would have been over worked at camp without DB in there. and this may contribute to him hitting the rookie wall during the season.
7- And this is the real reason CJ isn't on the field. The only bargaining leverage DB would have is that CJ looks just OK, or even better, just bad out there. This would improve his leverage that he should be paid his price.
8- Pats take CJ off the practice field after they see enough, in a few practices that shows he gets the playbook, can run his routes, and knows his assignments.
What does anyone think?????
