It never really made sense to me that they didn't have him on the team from the beginning. At this point, you have to wonder if the Colvin and (possible) Seau signings were made too late.
Yeah, I'm guessing he's not here to "start" or to "be depth" but to play a specific role, possible on 3rd down and in the red zone.This is great news. His energy alone should help the D. His coverage ability and blitzing abilities should also help.
I'm surprised as well, but he's back for what's effectively 4-8 games with a chance at a ring. He's been loyal to the Patriots as well, I think he said something to the extent of either he's back with the Pats or he stays retired.
well, i hope these guys (seau and colvin) have something left in the tank.
The pats are far from a guaranteed playoff spot never mind a chance at a ring.
That's good to hear. Another experienced and proven body at LB can only help.
As long as he is in game shape, waiting till now might have been done for a purpose i.e. keeping him fresh for the stretch run.
Also Mayo is not used to a 16 game season and is seeing close to every snap in each game. This will keep him from wearing down.
The '05 Steelers were also 7-5 after Week 13 of their season, and we know how that turned out.
This is true. At the same time, the outlook could look better by Week 17. The '05 Steelers were also 7-5 after Week 13 of their season, and we know how that turned out.
I'm surprised. By all accounts, Seau was happy surfing. He's made plenty of money, he's old to play a physical position, but he says he wants to take care of unfinished business.
That might make sense if the Pats were steaming to the playoffs, Brady was at the helm, and all they needed was Colvin and Seau to shore up the injuries at LB and put them over the top.
While it's still possible that the Patriots could go to the Superbowl, it's a long shot.
Did he miss football that much? Or is it the money?
