I’m just going to assume you’ve watched none of his highlight footage, then.
Only thing I saw that scared me was Patricia in that draft room.
They had to take the entire 5th round off to feed him.
NFL footage is unavailable where he's playing against faster, heavier hitters. Like I said, hope he runs faster than Richard Prior with his hair on fire trying to avoid hits, because having shoulder problems w/ alligator arms is not a good outlook.
OK, but that’s not what you claimed, which is that he has an aversion to contact. That ain’t true.
I don't see why we should be concerned with outside perception. Pats fans need to get behind the team and provide support and not waste energy showing how they know more than the people running the program. I'm pretty sure we will field a competent team and the offense should be effective. While we can view the defense in the prism of two buffalo games, I expect a competitive defense. I'm excited to see what the team becomes. I'm eager to see how last year's backups can contribute this year along with draftees and udfa's. Part 1 of the football season is over. Part 2 begins.
Sorry about my lack of communication. The kid can definately hit, thus his shoulder injuries.
Yeah, Detroit fans hated the huge, slow linebacker he drafted early who is now with the Patriots.
You have the user name of Sam Bam. That would lead me to believe that you might be old enough to remember when the Patriots during the 70s,80s, and until the early 90s were justifiable laughing stocks. This is not even close.
It was Kraft and Parcells, especially the new coach, who changed the perception of the team in the nation. Younger Patriots have no idea how bringing the legendary Giants coach on board was a real coup for Kraft and the Patriots.
I guess I'm triggered by arm chair QBs who claim BB is an idiot and that they can do better (not that the post I responded to took that stance). I work as a Project Manager, responsible for the success of large petrochemical projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars (I'm currently doing two renewable diesel project), which n some ways is not dissimilar to BBs role. I'm the guy who has to make the big decisions and be responsible for them and I always have non-participants (usually accountants) who know nothing about what it takes to successfully complete these types of project question the decisions that are made. And I have seen some of these non-participants find themselves put into a position like mine and they all fall flat on their face when they become the one who has to make the call as they find out it's not easy being the "buck stops here" guy. So while it's easy for arm chair QBs to say they prefer player X over player Y when they don't have to make the call or be responsible for it, I'll give BB the benefit of the doubt because I know what it's like to be sitting in the decision making chair.
I don't know what to think of Strange. He is a plug and play guard this season but the profile keeps reading like a center or possible tackle. Also, he is physically similar to Cross (picked 8th). No one had an issue with a center in the first round by Pitt. Lastly, I think he was more of 2nd round than 3rd round prospect but 3rd round sounds better for those who arent happy with the pick.
No problem.
yes unfortunately I am old enough to remember when Haynes, Cunningham, and Stingley were drafted.
