Lions trade LB Kyle Van Noy (& 7th) to Patriots for 6th round draft pick

[Tony2046]

In a couple of months we'll wonder what we ever did without him.

How many times has that happened? I can't count them.

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

All possible replacements for Collins.

Very possible.

His wife is reason enough to have him on the team.

 

[PF_SU]

Can he rush the passer?

 

[RobertWeathers]

"Bring 'er in, boys, and let's see if we can get 'er running."

Ugh...about the same as this.

From the Lions board on Scouts.com:

Crazy....Bostic coming back soon? Can't believe they got anything for him.

Of course he will probably become all pro in NE.

Great....we'll get a 7th Rd pick and he will turn into a probowler now.

Soooo.....we keep him and most here ***** about him, why we play him, why we don't just cut him.......so we trade him and now people don't like that cuz he's going to be this mvp in NE? this board sometimes

And, from an earlier thread there (I think someone referred to this):

I find it very hard to believe that there isn't a better option in FA, on someone's PS or even on our team than this scrub. He can't tackle, can't shed blocks, can't diagnose plays, can't rush the passer and can't cover. All he is is one massive liability that continues to inexplicably get playing time. Our LB's are bad, Whitehead has been bad, and Williams is a rookie and makes rookie mistakes.. but KVN takes sucking to a whole new level. There has to be guys on the street who are better than this guy.

A move to improve the LB unit has to be made and soon. KVN should never see another snap in this league.

What's with all this panic about pass rush? The lack of it this year has been more about scheme and game plan. When they want to bring heat they do. They were only rushing three guys vs the Steelers a lot.

6-1 > pass rushing

Seems like a decent move by the Pats a low risk trade at least. Here is an article I found about Van Noy for those intrested.

If anyone has any stats on him or film, please post. I wonder if he plays special teams.

 

[AzorianPats]

Mingo to me's the biggest shock. I thought he would excel at the next level.

I dont think he has the size.

 

[Gronkowski123]

van noy stinks

just like shea and mingo.

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

I dont think he has the size.

He's 6'4. Guys like von miller and matthews jr are a tad shorter

I meant weight.

I think at 1 point in Cleveland he was around 215lbs. Thats wayyyy to small to play LB.
