Jets have Roberts

They claimed an injured player, wow they're hard up for anything patriots.

 

[DaBruinz]

Can someone explain to me why everyone is so ... um, "worked up" about a 220lb linebacker?

Well, you'd have to understand that he wasn't JUST a "220 lb LB". He's a guy who was a damn good special teams player and he was a hybrid LB/S ala Chung who has a high ceiling. A lot of people foresaw him as the heir apparent to the ST captaincy once Slater was gone..

I was dreading this.

fwiw

Patriots LB Kamu Grugier-Hill is this year’s "Malcolm Butler headline grabber"

“A leftover, behind-the-scenes nugget from Patriots-Bears joint practices,” ESPN’s Mike Reiss shared in his weekly notes. “After Bears backup quarterback Brian Hoyer was picked off by Patriots rookie linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill on Monday, he relayed that Tom Brady came up to him and told him not to take it too hard because Grugier-Hill is a good player and had been doing that to New England quarterbacks as well. Grugier-Hill, a sixth-round pick from Eastern Illinois, who shows up on all core special-teams units and has been disruptive on defense by closing quickly and showing good ball skills, has made a fast impression on some of his teammates in New England, starting with Brady.”

I'm sure he is injured but I really wonder if its "IR" worthy.

Yes, I understand -- and everyone is entitled to their binkie. I'm going to mourn Crevon LeBlanc -- perhaps we missed out on the next Asante Samuel.

Good luck to KGH.

After thinking about it, its not sitting well with me at all that they cut this kid.

Roberts was a pre-draft binkie of mine. Sad.

If that's how you compare him, then I'm glad because I don't want a CB who gives up when the chips are down.

According to Guregian:

....or decides to go rouge, blow his assignment and let a receiver run unfettered through the secondary the final minutes of a Super Bowl.

Rufus!!

Well, I'm thinking of his best plays for the Pats, of course (and there were a lot of them).

 

[DaBruinz]

His "best plays" never came when it mattered most.. And, honestly, I think you're selling LeBlanc short. LeBlanc never seemed to give up on plays the way Asante did
