Why not give Price some reps at WR?

[Bobs My Uncle]

he certainly can't be any worse than the stiff Tate.

 

[TriplecHamp]

has he even been active this season?

 

[resdubwhite]

I'v been thinking that. Its been humbling day though. We may see him soon though.

 

[patriotscpfc]

Yeah, blame Tate. He didn't catch a ball in double coverage that he got popped on.

Price isn't in the team because he's not consistent. Showed nothing in pre-season. And he's coming from a system that didn't throw the ball much.

 

[Mack Herron]

Tate dropped a perfectly thrown third down pass that hit him in the chest and would have been a first down. He let it come into his body instead of catching it in his hands. Terrible play.

alot of our receiver do it, not just Tate. I don't know why and I don't see alot of other teams do it. Our hands in general aren't great. Our receivers have trouble catching the ball away from their body Welker included. Hernandez has shown the softest hands this season.

Obviously the coaching staff sees Price doing much better than Tate during the week, but are conspiring to keep him off the field.

In a related note, the Pats are reportedly interested in signing Sam Aiken, Chad Jackson and Bethel Johnson in preparation for their game against the Steelers next week.

Its not so much the dropped pass but he just isn't getting into any game for some reason....He needs to start getting hold of a few catches and stretch the field a bit

 

[D-Money]

Just another wr who cant do squat.We draft Price and the guy cant get on the field.

 

[BadMoFo]

I don't understand how he keeps getting these practice awards, yet he is not getting reps in a regular game.

He is obviously NOT ready yet....enough said or he would be out there. Tate is nothing more than a #3 WR. You take away an elite WR and try to put all the pressure on Tate to stretch the field and be the big game threat......and find out he just isn't that good. Flashes of Brilliance. (might be the name of my book on the 2010 Pats).....but that is about it. BB/Kraft decided "We are going to rebuild now" and got rid of moss....and then lo and behold they rattled off wins to get the best record in the league!!!! Kraft: "Well lookee here coach we are rebuilding AND WINNING" BB: "Uh-huh"........and then the curtain falls......Kraft: "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!!!"........We ARE rebuilding.......just be realistic folks

Unlike Branch, Welker, Edelman.

Hell, we better get rid of Crumpler, he's caught nothing.......

 

[D-Money]

Rebuilding with a QB in his primeI seen teams rebuild and not look so terrible at times.

 

[Batman]

Why do people keep wanting Tate to be a deep threat he, I know he is fast but doesn't have great hands but when he has the ball he is top notch he is a player who I just want to get the ball in the hands of not just bomb it to him.

Well, if we are indeed rebuilding as you say then what the heck .... toss Price out there and see what he can do!

Crump is here to primarily BLOCK at this point.......However, since we NEED people who can HOLD ONTO the ball......maybe it is worth giving him a few throws!!!!!

 

[D-Money]

Right now we are getting production from the TEs and our RBs in the backfield.Tate, Branch, and Welker not doing much to get open

exactly, find ways to get him the ball. He isn't Moss at all, you can't just throw it up for him because he won't get the separation 9-10 times and he won't go up and get it.

This makes no sense. You assume that because one person does not live up to your standards that the next person is better.

With that logic you would also presume that if Brady throws an incomplete pass, then the best thing the Pats can do is replace him with Hoyer on the very next snap.

I don't understand how he keeps getting these practice awards, yet he is not getting reps in a regular game.

I'm thinking practice awards are for special teams - and for replicating the opponent, so Pats starters can be used to their next opponent.

If that was the case then he didn't help the Pats starters very much.

Ah let's see i would replace Edelman with Price I think Edelman has been a disappointment this year or maybe he is a Welker clone not a #2 receiver which is where they have playing him this year. I'm not sure where they will end up the year but they need to use FA as well as the draft to compliment what they are building.
