Thanks BOB.

Glad we're seeing "more Price".

 

[FCB02062]

Glad to see the drafting and free agent signings of late are contributing....this is an abhorrent disgrace, what a waste - Ellis and Price are

 

[NEPats1]

Maybe BOB meant more of Price on the sideline?

Yes, when Ellis was signed in July or August, BB knew he'd get injured in late October and miss a game in November.

what happened to faulk ?

Shaun Ellis was the worst signing of the year. The Pats could have signed Jason Babin for the money they're paying Ellis and Ochocinco.

Right, because which 45 of the 53 that play is the way to condemn acquisitions
Also, since both are injured I guess drafting and free agent signings are only supposed to include players immune to injury right?

Only Jason Babin can't play LDE can he? Ellis is injured, how does that make it a bad signing?

I think, once you eliminate the draft picks and free agent signings, there aren't many players left, are there?

If Faulk had been active, and Vereen or Ridley inactive, you'd be whining that the rookies can't get on the field.

If Ellis had been active, and Brace kept inactive, you'd be complaining about what a bust Brace is.

You might not be aware of this, but they have to keep some guys inactive every game.

Is cunningham hurt or is he just not making the field because of performance? I thought he was playing 30,35 snaps a games last year. Now he's invisible.

The word is that his surgically repaired knee is sore. Some (SMY) are speculating that last week took a toll on him.

That is troubling, wish we knew the answer why.

Why resort to common sense, when hysteria rules the day...

cunnigham another b word... and price is frustrating coming close, but he cant do much from the tub...

fwiw per reiss:

Cunningham a healthy scratch again. The disappointing season of second-year defensive end Jermaine Cunningham continues, as he is a healthy scratch for the second straight week. Cunningham has been bumped down the depth chart with veterans Andre Carter and Mark Anderson taking his playing time. Last week, tight end Dan Gronkowski assumed Cunningham's role on the punt return unit.

Shane Vereen time???

 

[sbpatfan]

Taylor Price sucks. That is all.

 

[BaltimorePatsFan]

Except Jason Babin is playing left defensive end and has 9 sacks. Trent Cole is the RDE. Shaun Ellis has been a joke in the Pats new 4-3 defense. Offers absolutely no pass rush and mediocre against the run as well.

Prefer BJGE/Woodhead over Faulk anyways....

Was not impressed with Faulk last week..
