Eric Rowe

[BadMoFo]

He had his ups and downs last year, and from everything I've read, he's had a rough offseason and preseason, maybe cause of the change in coaching. I just wonder where he fits. Does he automatically become the slot corner, bumping coleman and Cyrus down.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Safety too?


Hmmmmm, is there anyone on the Pats' 53 man roster, who plays safety that Rowe could take the place of?

Richards. Cough! Richards cough! cough!

Perhaps Harmon if he does well enough and leaves in FA next year...

Hopefully Shaq Fu is OK as well. Love what he can maybe do at RG.

I love Mason, too, but Cooper is the new toy whom I really wanted the Pats to draft that year.... obviously he went far too high.

1:00 is how BB will use him

Damn he had a heck of a game vs. us

 

[AtomicDawg]

But seriously, you could make a case that Kline was the Pats' best OL last year. But this preseason he was playing with the 2nd and 3rd teamers. Reading between the lines, it seems like it seems like a trade/release was already planned...just needed to be the right guy as part of it.

I have good friends who r big time Eagle fans. Their view? Rowe never lived up to expectations

 

[The Gr8est]

OK, someone has to ask. Why does a team dump a 2nd round CB in the NFL* after one season?

 

[AtomicDawg]

They really wanted him.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

can he cover a 6'4 big reciever? That would be big helpful for our secondary.

No
Sadly the runt is 3" too short.
Another bozo GM move by BB.
FIRST!!!

So we traded a fourth, that can become a third. Eagles are stocking up for next year's draft.

On the flip side, the Iggles paid his signing bonus, so the Pats are only on the hook for his salary for the next three years.

 

[TBR]

This is a freaking steal. Get a high upside tall corner and dump Kline all at once!!!

Depends on the draft pick they gave up..

 

[Ring 6]

I think it was Rowe for the pick, and BB said, you can take this Kline guy too if you want.

 

[Jackson 2]

OK, someone has to ask. Why does a team dump a 2nd round CB in the NFL* after one srason?

Because they're the Eagles? Just asking...

Brag away, but kidding aside I appreciate seeing the pre-trade posts--I confess I don't pay much attention to speculation beforehand but enjoy seeing when they become Pats.

Your genuine excitement made me excited. Congrats! Enjoy! Celebrate!
(just hope this doesn't mean they throw JJ to another team doorstep)

The great thing is he can be a role player here. We have good players at our top three CB positions, but no real height. Rowe can match up against tall WR's. I wouldn't be surprised to see him start one game and then not play at all the next, depending on match ups. Perhaps he will be a smaller, younger, and much faster version of the 2014 vintage Browner.

Wow, they gave him a whole season to live up to expectations, that was nice of them. Eagle's fans

 

[IllegalContact]

Man, this dude is awesome!!!

and to think we got him for a guy who sucks as well as a draft pick that if used, would suck, too

 

[long distance]

BB doesn't like his toys taken away. You take my LeBlanc, I'll take your Rowe
