If you could bring back one former Patriot in their prime...

[OhExaulted1]

**** Felt or Randy Hand.

(Yes, those were real names of real players)

hannah/seymour

Anytime I think about Moss AND Gronk on the field at the same time with Brady throwing the ball I cry a little inside because it would be a beautiful thing to watch. Who do you cover? Both absolutely demand double teams in opposite parts of the field. Both are TD machines that would shatter records. This offense is already extremely good and hard to defend you put Moss across from lafell with eldeman in the slot gronk at TE and vereen in the backfield...nothing but TD's all day long. As tempting as those other choices are Moss is the biggest difference maker at a position that could be upgraded and I hate diva WR's.

Hannah blocking for Blount. Bwahahahahaha

 

[Big-T]

Ty Law paired with Revis (Law brings the old rules too) would be amazing.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Gotta go Willie McGinest. I just have visions of him swallowing Wilson hole on one of his roll outs.

 

[Double TE]

100% Moss.

 

[BobDigital]

Well knowing they could get this far without him the question becomes who would help you win the superbowl the most.

It is not what a lot of people would think but I would say Ty Law (or Mike Haynes). Law, Revis, McCourty.

Load the box and send an extra man every time. Your defense will win the game for you.

Hannah

 

[PlainOldEd]

Like others, Harrison is tempting BUT...he would be a liability with the current rules giving up chunks of free 15 yarders.

So my pick goes to...Ty Law, just to pair with Talib.

What????????

 

[VrabelJr]

Logan Mankins or Richard Seymour in their primes. This game will be won in the trenches. I'd say John Hannah but players were way smaller back then.

edit: Apparently I'm not that creative in my choices.

 

[everlong]

Against the Seahawks, Ted Washington. With Branch, Vince and Ted good luck with beast mode.

 

[McClusky]

Can't believe that I forgot about Seymour. It would be him for me as well. Prime Seymour was amazing.

 

[NormZauchin]

After Randy Moss, my number two pick would be Stanley Morgan and his 19.2 yards per catch career average, (24.1 yards per catch! in 1978). Moss and Morgan (M&M boys) with Gronk and Edelman would be the greatest set of targets in NFL history.

What????????

This thread was started almost a year ago, in February '14. I haven't verified the dates but I'd imagine the response you question, which was made Feb 6, 2014, was made at a time when Talib was still a member of the Pats.

On a related note, I really hate when someone bumps a thread from a year or more ago. If that happens there should be some way for everyone to know. Make any post older than say 6 months be flagged some way or all the text red or something. Anything at all to let us know quickly and easily that the post is old and the information included is likely outdated. Yeah, I know the dates are on there but it's easy to miss. I want something that you can't miss even if you try when dealing with posts which on first glance appear new but are actually so old as to be essentially worthless.

 

[Deus Irae]

Applying this to the Super Bowl that's coming up, I'm going to go outside the box with my thinking.....

Sam Gash

 

[JackBauer]

Richard Seymour or Hannah. More beef in the trenches.

 

[stinebot]

Now that I have stated my distaste for bumping old threads I will propose someone I haven't seen listed here yet. Corey Dillon. Imagine Dillon and Blount pounding the ball up the middle over and over. That would truly be a thing of beauty.

I initially thought of Dillon, but then I thought of the idea of Sam Gash beating the snot out of Kam Chancellor.
