I think his deal with Pittsburgh was fairly lucrative though I don't recall the details.It was very team-friendly in relation to his contribution (6 yr(s) / $14,955,000): Rodney Harrison
On a side note, wasn't Blount also getting paid by the Steelers while he played for the Patriots in 2014-2015?
No idea, what inferiority complex comment you're referring to, little guy. Your posts are usually "must skip" for me. The reason your comments about the Falcons stood out are obvious - you were so over the top and adamant that the NE defense would struggle. There's no reason to have hurt feelings about that. You're the one who ended up looking like an enormous idiot, since you were wrong as usual, while only hours after the AFCCG, I had already identified the weak spots on Atlanta's OL and said the Patriots should target Chester and Mack. This is, of course, exactly what the Patriots did, and exploiting those holes and creating pressure in key moments is what allowed them to win the game.
You should probably actually read what I wrote. I never said, or even implied, that Butler has never covered #1 WRs without help, nor did I say anything about CB1s never receiving safety help - indeed, I outlined the fact that he did, and that he was burned badly on several occasions, due to his lack of size and/or speed. I said that Bill's philosophy of matching up different CBs with different WRs has limited the ability of opposing offenses to exploit Butler's weaknesses.
Best part of your post is acting as if recognizing coverages is rocket science. It speaks volumes about your level of intelligence and education that you'd think it's the epitome of intellect. Even more hilarious is the fact that the Patriots played a considerable amount of Cover 2 this past season, with one of the top safeties in the entire league, and a generally strong safety unit as a whole, splitting the deep passing zones in half. In fact, some of their best performances of the season came when they were primarily in Cover 2, giving the corners plenty of safety help. The AFCCG that you brought up earlier was a perfect example. The Patriots were in Cover 2 for most of it, especially after Bell went down, and paying extra attention to Brown. Brown was often double, or even triple teamed, and especially as the Steelers got closer to the end zone. It certainly wasn't Butler out there covering Brown by himself as you absurdly tried to imply.
Regarding your last paragraph, you once again display incredibly atrocious reading comprehension. I never said he wouldn't be a CB1 on other teams. I actually said the exact opposite. My whole premise was based on the fact that he would be a CB1 on other teams, and that he would be used as a traditional CB1 - i.e. he'd be covering the #1 WRs without safety help more frequently, thus exposing his weaknesses, and resulting in him performing far more poorly than in NE, because he wouldn't be utilized correctly. Really not that difficult to comprehend - even for someone like you.
This conversation would have went a lot better had the ghetto school you attended prepared you better with regards to reading comprehension and critical thinking. I think you should be on a 1 year prove it deal. You need to go a full year without being entirely wrong about literally everything you post, as you were last season, before I can take anything you say seriously. This will go in effect at the start of the regular season. You've got plenty of time to practice until then, kiddo.
************, please get a doctor.
And @Ross12 , please lock this guy out of this thread - - he refuses to stay on the subject.

He's often too small or not fast enough to be on the other team's top WR without help. Leaving him on an island against the WR1 consistently would result in trouble. Against Brown in the AFCCG, he had help. NE had 2, sometimes 3, guys on Brown. He's not a guy who can be used as a traditional #1 corner, and doing so consistently, as would be likely if he were to play for any other team and a lesser coach, would expose his lack of size and speed.

You mean put him on Ignore?
Correct.
Sorry I just now saw this! But thank you for the heads up. I think we should be okay now.I don't believe in Ignore. There is only one poster I have on Ignore.
Light is better than darkness, Grasshopper. People should not hijack threads.
Whenever you get a chance @Ross12 and crew, please cull this thread from those two guys.
That's your bliss, man. I refuse to heed the caustic toxicity of deliberate pains-in-the-butt here who live to stir crap up.I don't believe in Ignore. There is only one poster I have on Ignore.

About Jonas Gray? Yeah, I bet they still do. The guy was a complete bum, but he raped them without breaking a sweat in their own building.
I've yet to use the ignore feature, myself. Would much rather work through differences of opinion or just move on. To each his own.The two guys in this thread are usually fine, they just screwed up this particular one, but @Ross took care of it, so hakuna matata.......
Like I said, I have only one poster who is so toxic I've had to put on Ignore in the last few years.

Oh of course. Everyone gets their asses handed to them from time to time. You're right though that I've never seen it moved to another thread. I don't know if I should be complimented or creeped out.
Who said I was basing it on one game? I was commenting on the Steelers game because someone brought it up.
Blount is trash and has now been upgraded. He's gone. Go cry elsewhere.
4For 2 games against **** teams? Where has he been in the playoffs his entire career with New England?
I'm getting close to using it with Fourner, not that I have a problem with him just when I find I'm scrolling past every post resenting that it's cluttering my feed it seems easier to just set ignore and let automation take care of it for me.I've yet to use the ignore feature, myself.

Understood. I'm guessing that others posters share your same idea.I'm getting close to using it with Fourner, not that I have a problem with him just when I find I'm scrolling past every post resenting that it's cluttering my feed it seems easier to just set ignore and let automation take care of it for me.
