Words was brought in to play RT and was excellent. He has since moved to LT (just this past year, I think). I don’t think TE was a strength for them. Howard never seemed to perform to his apparent talent label and Brate is no more than a competent TE. At least for the Brady, Gronk seed to be a...
They needed. R tackle, not L. Tampa did have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball. Gronk was a huge help as well. They had a talented but under performing TE. Tampa players also openly talked about Brady also changing the entire attitude of the team.
There’s nothing professional about what BB did to the team in that SB. Dressing him and having him participate in the pre-game warm up with the defense and then benching him for the game with no explanation to Butler or the team left the team unprepared. Hardly professional.
There’s one person who could clear this up, but he doesn’t think he ever owes anyone an explanation. And his only explanation to this point that he does what is in the best interest of the team is obviously not true in this case.
What doesn’t make sense was that he dressed but did not play. If he did something truly disturbing, he should never have dressed. And the way BB handled it certainly hurt the team. The team was very obviously confused about the benching and unprepared for it. Frankly, while I think BB owes the...
This doesn’t make sense. If he screwed up that bad he should not have even dressed. As it was, he dressed, went through warm ups and apparently learned he would not start/play just before the National Anthem during which the entire viewing audience could see him crying. Some “favor”. And what...
I’m not saying we should not have heard from Crennel and Weiss. I think that goes to the decision to basically ignore the ‘03 and ‘04 seasons. I. Loved those teams and wish an episode was spent on those seasons. I was simply saying that the most critical parts of the series as to BB, dealt with...
At the time, I thought Butler was overrated, but it doesn’t change the fact that he was on the field for 98% of the defensive snaps that year and was an integral part of the defense every game that year right up to the Super Bowl. Benching him for that game only made no sense. It was obvious...
Nice find. Sounds like an ok option. Pure experience at LT would be better, but at least it’s something as long as he leaves the attitude behind in Pittsburgh
Cook signed for an average value of just over 16k in a 5 year deal. Not a crazy deal. Far better than Loyd or Lafell and a true outside receiver. Never a top 10 receiver in the league but a setter outside the hash receiver than what the Pats have had since they traded him.
No, it’s because he constantly sought value at the WR position instead of talent. An exception was Cooks a couple years earlier. Actually gave up a first rounder for talent. Not a perfect WR but still had a 1000 yard season for us. Then the when he was coming off his rookie contract they traded...
The rent a star at LT is to keep the rookie QB from getting killed. The Pats had plenty of cap space to overpay at LT, especially on a 1 or 2 year deal that would not put the team in a future cap bind and give the team time to find a more long term solution at LT.
Yes, most of these were ridiculous additions. Throwing darts at the wall. Most were relatively cheap. Thomas was done, Dorsett nothing special, Gordon done and a head case. Sand was another guy super slow, but had a good game against the Pats so let’s go get him. Brown was a desperation headcase...
