Edelman off PUP

[Brady_to_Moss]

Very unlikely. Meriweather would have made the team worse and the safety position was settled by the time the playoffs rolled around.

Meriweather was a flag waiting to happen...you always sat there and said."uh oh..the play is getting closer to him..50/50 there is a flag"

I found it interesting while reading "War Room" that Belichick was very unhappy with the 2007 draft in general, and the rumor is that they were "stuck" choosing a handful of players that they'd never have taken otherwise, so the selection of Meriweather may have been a hint of this--not that I'm implying that he was one of the players who they'd have never taken, only that they probably wouldn't have taken him in the first round.

From all accounts, when SF agreed to trade back into the 1st round at pick #28 for Joe Staley, Belichick was elated. As we all well know, that pick saved our asses the next year when we took Mayo; as our own pick was taken away by Goodell for the Cameragate situation.

I wish Bill Belichick would call out Glass-IR Dowling.

5 years of experience in the system, and after the offense has signed Deion Branch, Brandon Lloyd, Chad Johnson and others since his amazing rookie year filling in for Wes Welker, he finally gets time to shine in the offense.

5 years experience?

Julian Edelman NFL Football Statistics - Pro-Football-Reference.com

I personally love the guys skill set and believe he can line up anywhere and do anything on the field, as long as he is healthy. And to me, he is far more "explosive" then Wes Welker, and better in open field and with the ball in his hands.

Games Played - 9
Pass Receptions - 21

Julian Edelman has never proven to be a reliable "X" wide receiver.

It would be nice to see some durability from Edelman, but I'm not holding my breath over it. Personally I think the redevelopment at WR has to continue. My priority is to see the young WR's on the field, develop a increasing chemistry and trust with Brady. With Brady getting older, I think this could be invaluable for us in the next 2-3 seasons. Ya, it would be nice to have Edelman around but I think he's had his chance and blew it. We don't need the odd 'flash' every now and again, we need consistency.

Don't worry. Edelman will be below Amendola on the depth chart at the "Z" wide receiver position.

I think the real battle for a depth chart position will be between Boyce and Edelman.

Until Edelman breaks yet another body part.

Bill is assembling quite the All-Glass Team:

Amendola
Edelman
Ballard
Sudfeld
Dowling
Fletcher

Re: BB on Edelman

Having a couple of defensive backups on this list is no big deal.

On the other hand, having four receivers on the list is not good at all. Considering the injuries to Gronk and Fells, the list on offense gets truly gruesome.

Ok.. but don't say I told you so. I'm telling you I think this year will be his year. I've seen other players come back and stay healthy after suffering FAR worse injuries in my life time.

I love Edelmans upside. Great STs player, very underrated as a WR. And emergency QB along with emergency DB isn't really a negative either. But it's hard to get too excited about him when he hasn't shown he can handle a full seasons workload.

I dunno, but I'm guessing when it comes to "emergency QB," he would not be ahead of He Who Derails Threads.

You mean the new personal punt protector?

They probably would have beaten the Giants in the regular season, though, so that would have changed their SB opponent.

I was no fan of either lil' Jimmy Sanders or especially Stomper, but as your 2nd point stated,
had Sanders been on the field in the 4th quarter of the 1st Jints game instead of Patty Chung
(who single-handedly cost us the game - he and the incompetent clock management during the
Pats' penultimate drive), then the Jints do not make the POs.

As to your first point, the reason that both Stomper & Sanders should've been retained is that
Bill had Absolute Zero quality safeties (except Chung, I suppose) on the roster behind them.

What injury to Fells?

Hey, he's gotta be better than Nate Ebner.

Re: BB on Edelman

What injury to Fells?

Fells was hurt last year. I think his shin. I think we will be happy with his play when completely healthy.

 

[captain stone]

OK thanks. I thought that there was a new injury to him.
