It's easy, and only takes a few moments.A good question aa, fan optimism aside, BB/SP should be shopping for his replacement, if only to upgrade the entire D-line by having Seymour bookends. What we need to keep in mind with any player is their unique abilities. Sey is one of a kind, we may get someone who is a little better at drawing double teams in passing situations, or someone who shuts down the run game like Ty does on his side. We shouldn't expect another Sey.aabtec said:Since Richard Seymour is look to be the highest paid DE in the league are there any DE's that we could draft to replace him ?

Terry Glenn is a cowgirl said:We could just get the "Fridge" from the streets...he would have to quit all of them Nathan's hotdogs though...
Ngata would be the wet dream dropping within trade-up range.Ochmed Jones said:I don't think there is a DE in the entire football league with Seymour's combination of size, strength and ability. He is the best defensive lineman in football hands down. He alters opposing offenses when he is on the field.
I would very much like for us to have a backup for Wilfork. Preferably a veteran. I heard BB say it takes on average 3 years for a new guy to thoroughly master all the nuances of playing NT in a 3-4. There are something like 90 or so different blocking combinations offenses can throw at a NT.
In the draft there are a couple of 3-4 NT worth looking at if the Pats decide on a rookie.
Ngata - wow! Probably won't make it to #21.
Watson (Michigan) - 2nd round pick. No pass rush threat.
Fifitia (Utah) - day 2 pick. Needs to get much stronger.
Mania (BYU) - day 2 pick. Injury history.
