Patriots Make Another Intriguing Pick in S Nate Ebner

And if Ebner took Slater's place as the ST ace of the team, you'd say: "Why do we keep this over-paid, non-returner, non-position-player?"

If Slater was so expendable, he'd be out of the team long time ago.

I'm hoping he takes the other Gunner's spot. You know...the one we all hate-Sergio Brown.

I think only Sergio would disagree with that .

I don't hate Brown... he is just sh*t!

Will BB and Ebner start a trend in the NFL?

Interestingly, I've been reading an article today about the Titans wanting their players to have a wrestling background, because of the mental traits.

If he can make the over-paid, non-returner, non-position-player Matt Slater expendable,
then I'm All-In for Ebner.

Yeah, let's get rid of arguably the best special teamer in the entire league.

Do you ever think before you post?

Ebner would be earning 3X less than Slater.
And who knows, maybe Ebner can develop into a serviceable backup Safety;
we already know, after 4 years, that Slater can't.

It seems pretty much a given that somebody will take Sergio's spot.

Mike Vrabel on Ebner:

"He’s got the ability to run at a high rate of speed and move and bend without slowing down. He can run through traffic without losing speed. Guys that cover kicks and maintain their speed in traffic are what you're looking for. Whether you play rugby or wrestle as in Stephen Neal's case, you develop good balance, good body control. When you are a national caliber athlete in a sport, chances are there will be carryover."

Vrabel: Ebner has athleticism to flourish in NFL
