Texans waive ILB Max Bullough

[ctpatsfan77]

So he played for Patriots South, but he's suspended the first four games for PEDs. . . . Claim the beast?

 

[BradyFTW!]

For what he can do, I'd rather just stick with Elandon Roberts. With either one of them, you're basically getting a two-down ILB who's a major liability in space.

 

[Love The Drake]

I'd claim him for Depth

 

[PatsGuy]

For Roberts, the first to second year bump up is crucial. I'm from Missouri on him. He'll have to "show me"

No need to claim him, he'll get through waivers with that suspension over his head. It's not like he's Lawrence Taylor.

Sounds like Lawrence in one way...

There was an article the other day about how Belichick motivated big Vince with food...perhaps he can find a creative way to motivate Max...

 

[NG Pats Fan]

I'd prefer Adam Seward

 

[RxJock1120]

Can he rush the passer?

 

[DarrylS]

He is only 25 years old, would minimally bring him in to check out his attitude and any health issues..

 

[RobertWeathers]

No need.

I have Roberts a 2nd year jump guy.

Mark my words....Roberts will hit 90+ tackles, improve in coverage and play faster than last year.

Love this kid.

There's a cost to bringing new players into camp, in coaching time, slowing down the learning process for the team while he catches up, etc. Unless there's a real depth issue at a position, or the player in question is a real upgrade possibility, they probably don't want to pay that cost. There are already at least five players that may get significant playing time on the defense for whom they will have to write that check.

Should we wait for him to become a beast first?

I agree except I believe we could use another capable backer but I agree Roberts hasn't come close to his ceiling kid has something.

 

[Brady6]

Roberts recorded 52 total tackles, 3 stuffs, and 1 forced fumble in 1 season (including playoffs). Max Bullough recorded 56 tackles and 4 stuffs in 3 seasons...

(A) It's called a joke.
(B) The Pats have traded for players who couldn't get on the field for other teams and made them look far better.

 

[Art_Vandelay421]

From a long time ago- Is he any relation to ex Patriots coach Hank Bullough?

 

[RobertWeathers]

I agree. They need another LB but I think the need is more of a coverage guy as opposed to a running game thumper type.

 

[Love The Drake]

Mickeal Kendricks still available?
Is any of our rookie free agents backers capable of coverage

 

[Modest]

Worth taking a look.
