Willie belongs onthe Pats HOF roster not on the roster for the 2009 edition of the team. A great Patriots, sadly his time has passed.
He has like 8 sacks in the last 3 years, and had all of 1 last year. He's not really a pass rusher anymore.
If not the biggest I'm at least top three biggest Willie fans in here. I even planned a trip to DC around when the Browns would be in town so I could see him play, got a ton of crap from skins fans for wearing my Willie jersey, almost got in a few fights. So, yes I'm a little biased. I think the Browns were giving him too many snaps. I think he could be productive if his snaps were somewhat limited. But, it's not just what he brings to the table on the field. Some people don't realize, but this guy was THE leader of those Pats teams he was on. He could be a great coach to some of the younger guys like Crable and Woods, and he'd be a great presence in the locker room.
GET IT DONE!!!
To the posters who keep saying he has nothing left in his tank.
What do base this assertion on? His Age. Is that it?
Lack of sacks? Willie never did get a lot of sacks. His job was to set the edge and like every other lineman/linebacker had gap responsibility too.
Do you cry about Richard Seymours' lack of sack production too?
As far as coverage goes, can you actually say that you saw Willie blow coverages a whole lot...more than he ever did before he went to Cleveland.
Have you noticed we haven't won a Superbowl since he left? (Ok that's lame but I'm pulling for my guy here.)
