PatsSteve1 said:* There is no one on the roster right now who reaplaces Willie M's production at LB or D Givens production at WR. Not even close. That makes us less of a team than last year. You can post your little "ROFLMAO" but I don't think you really laughed at all. Just internet board BS. The total current roster is not as good as last years. It will get better, but how much better no one, least of all you, knows how much. it must make you a real tough guy to post stuff on a message board. Another internet bad boy -
\maverick4 said:I don't like the 'draft OLB' strategy. The Pats moved Vrabel inside last year only because Beisel sucks, and because we had Willie and Colvin who could play outside.
For the sake of Vrabel's durability (as well as utilizing him at his best position), as well as due to the loss of Willie, the Pats should slide Vrabel back outside and find a young ILB.
I have been watching film on all the big-name OLB's and ILB's in the draft, and I like those two Iowa linebackers the best. Greenway and Hodge can both play ILB in the Pats' 3-4, in my opinion. I think Greenway is better than Hawk, for the best LB in the country. That guy is a ferocious player, a natural energizer and leader.

JoeSixPat said:It doesn't matter if we have a complete team before the draft - BB & SP know better than anyone there are three phases of the offseason & that no important games are played before the actual season.
1. Free Agency
2. The Draft
3. Pre-season trades
There is no logical reason to expect any team to have a complete team before all three phases are complete. It might make us feel better but its not necessary and we shouldn't change our system just becuase of public anxiety.
MoLewisrocks said:Didn't think this merited it's own thread, but it did merit mentioning. Paul Parillo of PFW is on WEEI today and he just said that Matt Light has had two surgical procedures performed on his leg since the initial surgery due to recurring circulation problems. He said it would certainly indicate that could raise the legitimate level of concern about his return.
DaBruinz said:The least you could do is learn how to quote properly. No, I am not an internet bad boy or tough guy. And yes, I did laugh at your dumb post. Its amazing the ignorance and arrogance you show.
* You are what you are.
How do you know that Troy Brown, who had 39 receptions last year as the #4 receiver couldn't put up the same production if he was in the #2 slot? How do you know that Reche Caldwell couldn't put up the same production that Givens put up?
* Because Caldwell has done next to nothing in his career
As for Willie's production, how do you know there isn't someone on the roster who can give the Pats the same production. My guess is that Colvin can. And then all you need to do is replace Colvin's production from last year.
* Like who? Beisel who's shown he isn't up to the task? Banta-Cain who isn't good agains the run?
And, I'm sorry, but you can't sit there and chastise people for saying that the this year's team will be better than last years, then you, yourself say that the team is worse. Its BS hypocracy on your part. And I am totally amazed that you can't see it.
pats1 said:I hate to break it to you, but according to my count, the Pats have re-signed the most players in the league this offseason. They'd re-signed 8 so far, the Bucs have also, and teams like the Steelers, Seahawks, Lions, Packers, and Raiders have re-signed 7.
Yes, I am. I am a very smart Pats fan who has a very good handle on the english language and what things mean. You, on the other hand, seem to be the blowhard who started chastising people in this thread for their personal speculations and then made the claim that he couldn't support himself.PatsSteve1 said:* You are what you are.
And what had David Patten done in his career prior to becoming the #2 starter for the Patriots in 2001? What had David Givens done prior to becoming the starter in 2004?PatsSteve1 said:* Because Caldwell has done next to nothing in his career
PatsSteve1 said:* Like who? Beisel who's shown he isn't up to the task? Banta-Cain who isn't good agains the run?
PatsSteve1 said:* I never said this year's team won't be better than last year's. I said it wasn't today. Last year going into the playoffs, the Patriots, in the media and here, were called the team no one wanted to face in January. No one knows how good this team will be. It's hypocritical to say, "how do I know y there's no one to replace Willie", then chastise me because I don't think, today, the team is as good as what we had at the end of the year. I'm NOT surprised you don't see that. Your a blowhard.
DaBruinz said:See, unlike you, Steve, I don't worry about whether this team is better or worse, today, because they aren't playing and games today. I worry about what the state will be come training camp and then the regular season. Its why I think talking about what the Pats record will be next year is just dumb. Because there is so much left to happen. From the rest of free agency to the draft to training camp. This team is going to morph tremendously from now until then.
