FITTING. JUST FITTING
He improved last year. Still very, very mediocre but at least hes not destroyed every snap.
I perceived the limited snaps in preseason incorrectly. Not a bad problem to have... Alot of quality linebackersI will never understand the dislike for Roberts. Sure, he overshot some gaps a few times early on in his career, but he's developed into the heart and soul of the run defense. Good for him!
RW,
I love you , but think you are being too kind in calling him mediocre.
I would say he's our worst linebacker on the team and would go one step further and say he's our worst defensive player on the team. I understand that he's well respected in the locker room, but still surprised that he is a captain.
Hes still on the team. Why not?So will Andrews walk out onto the field for the coin toss in street clothes?
So we computing OLBs with ILBs to excuse for Roberts? That's cool, no a strecth at allHow many teams have a better 5th LB than Roberts?
Okay. So who do you feel on the Pats should be qualified as an ILB? Lets take baby steps first to get to some answers.So we computing OLBs with ILBs to excuse for Roberts? That's cool, no a strecth at all

Elandon Roberts showed a ton of improvement last season, and it’s fairly obvious that Belichick appreciates his skill set. There were opportunities to replace him with a number of candidates, and yet here he is.
I don’t really see how Roberts is any different from a guy like Spikes. They are both run stopping thumpers who are limited to the first couple of downs due to a lack of speed and athleticism.

Never a bad player, but with the development of Bentley, a redundant one. The Pats have multiple players who can play on the inside with Bentley and do it as well, if not better than the physically limited Roberts. So it was natural to think in a very tight roster, Roberts would be thought of as trade bait or even a surprise cut.I will never understand the dislike for Roberts.

You're not paying attention.Elandon Roberts has improved at all facets of the game. Your simply not paying attention or you refuse to noticed if you doubt that. That being said...I'm a little surprised he's a team caption...but good for him.
Looks like we should expect to see Andrews around the team a lot this season, even though he isn't playing. But you are right, usually IR guys just go away for the season because its all about the players. Brady, IIRC, wasn't around in 2008 at all.Andrews? The IR contingent has a rep on the captain's list, now?
