Wrong line.

[IcyPatriot]

Felger and Mazz are KILLING him right now.

You listen to those two doucheholes?

Who are those guys?

 

[olschool]

Brandon Meriweather. But that depends on the week...

Everyone forgets Bryan Cox the loud mouth troublemaker, who turned the Pats defense around. Without him, no SB 36.

 

[Bella*chick]

Josh Miller, former Patriots player, former Haynesworth teammate, does not thing much of Fat Albert.

I don't blame him. Haynesworth is an a-hole. But if he doesn't work out it's not like it would sink the franchise.

Why not try it out? The upside is enormous.

So does condon84 get any props for kinda/maybe/semi calling it?

I like Felger. I think his takes are actually pretty good when it comes to Football/Hockey.

Mazz... meh. I could do without. But his baseball takes are good.

 

[Kontradiction]

There is no way Haynesworth is only coming in here to be a 4-3 pass rush specialist. He'll line up at DE in the 3-4. Brace yourselves because the days of watching opposing offenses rip long, back breaking runs off the edge in the playoffs are over.

I got goosebumps reading that!

I like the deal if Haynesworth is willing to play, but the team will still need to see major improvement at OLB. Teams could take this team wide all day last year. Cunningham needs to continue developing, and I'd love an upgrade at the other OLB spot. Barring that, Ninkovich is going to have to step it up, big time.

[NinjaZX6R]

Now go get osi

No. Osi isn't a decent run stopper. Remember, he was benched for Kiwi back in 09 cause he couldn't stop the run.

 

[West Philly Patriot]

Chad Johnson is next, which will address WR issues, and that will leave RG, OLB and RB as the spots to watch for upgrades.

Good call.

@ @ochocinco Fam, you're going to a great place bro. Take #advantage. You gonna love TB12. Enjoy the ride fam


-------------------

Wow, count Mr. Taylor as a huge cheerleader for the franchise. I love that.

Is there ANY NFL franchise that is more respected and appreciated by FORMER players who were let go (and who were stars elsewhere) than the New England Patriots??????

Corey Dillon still talks about the franchise and how it was first class in every minute detail - - down to the player's food - - while he dissed his other team.

Randy Moss hated every NFL team he played for, but puts BB, Mr Kraft, TB and the entire NEP franchise up on a pedestal whenever he speaks.

GREATEST FRANCHISE IN THE NFL HANDS DOWN.

Then there's Adalius Thomas. Tough to know which Haynesworth may be. Hopefully a fresh start is the ticket, and it's a fairly low investment.

Radio report: Haynesworth in town tonight

I believe Reiss tweeted he already made it to the facility. Can't waste anytime with preseason right around the corner!

 

[shmessy]

Radio report: Haynesworth in town tonight

He's ALREADY hustling faster than he did in DC!

 

[BAM!]

Does anyone know if this deal is actually a done deal? I thought they were trying to rework his contract, make it more incentive laden?
