12/15: Pats sign RB Montee Ball and WR DeAndre Carter

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

edit... old news

 

[Danger Zone]

I got into arguments with him a few years back

I'm shocked I tell you. Shocked

 

[DaBruinz]

Blount to IR per Jerry Thornton, WEEI

Mike Petraglia is saying the same thing..


Mike Petraglia ? @Trags
Source tells me LeGarrette Blount is done for year with hip injury.

Blount to IR per Jerry Thornton, WEEI

Well ****, that's a bummer. Next man up.

 

[JarOfMayo51]

Carter is really small but the rare player who can match Edelman in quickness. Edelman's Shuttle and Cone were 3.92 / 6.62, Carter's were 3.80 / 3.64.

NO, I AM NOT SAYING.

Just pointing out he has serious quicks.

So what you're saying is...

haha

 

[RayClay]

Having the guy sit out until week 13 pretty much says it all. A young second round pick who can't get signed despite all the injuries going around? The league scouts must be pretty unimpressed with him.

He couldn't possibly be good if he was available.

Thought this to be ironic:

Doesn't sound at all like Ridley in the description, though.

I was using my sarcasmotron when I posted that.

 

[RayClay]

He looks ok on video. Runs hard, fairly agile and a good receiver.

It's not like they're going to change the trading deadline, so you might as well be optimistic. I don't want to have to depend on White to run too much.

From time with Ravens:

"However, Carter didn't make as many plays as a receiver once training camp began and he muffed two kickoffs during preseason games, hurting his chance to make the team as a returner."

Oh boy

Sounds like Carter follows New England Patriots Fans featuring News, Stats, Analysis, Messageboards & Forums, Patriots Blogs, Rumors, And Salary Cap Information for Fans. - PatsFans.com.

Clearly he thought that the best way to fit in with the Ravens was to suck at his job.

 

[goheels22002]

I think you need to re-check your data. Or your data is biased.

I took a look at all the RBs with over 100 carries thus far and they've carried the ball a total of 6,591 times with 80 fumbles. That's a rate of 1.21%.

EDIT: That data actually included Cam Newton, if you pull him out it drops to 1.18% for RBs with over 100 carries.

Cam Newton fumbles and is a terrible driver.

He couldn't possibly be good if he was available.

Just not likely.

 

[TB_Helmet]

I'm a huge fan of the new RB. But only because my dog's name is Monty and he loves to play ball.

 

[Triumph]

Lets make a rb deal out of shape?

[Gronkowski123]

this gut stinks.
bill should of held open tryouts.

 

[SammyBlueCat]

The Monte Ball era has begun!

 

[mosi]

Let's hope that doesn't happen. Ball shouldn't see the field.

He should see the field, but from a distance, like the stands....

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

Are the cone number accurate? Something seems off.

Should be 6.64 Interesting thing is that his pro day numbers for cone were listed as 3.80 and 4.03....Which one was it??????
