Is it certain that they will not receive a comp pick? They will not be cutting Revis, only declining to pick up his option. It may seem like a trivial point, but didn't this come up a few years back with Donte Stallworth? Pats didn't pick up his option and he counted in the comp picks. At...
I know these were Hightower highlights, but Siliga shows very well on many of these clips.
I still want to see more to be certain he's really what we think.
Watching these clips makes me feel better about Spikes possibly walking.
Another factor to consider: Many fans tend to overestimate the value of draft picks, particularly picks in the 3rd-5th round.
(That is my opinion, but if you look at the rate at which mid-round picks make the team there is some basis to holding this opinion)
You're being kinda tough on Blount. He's on pace of over 550 yds, 4.5 avg and 4 TDs, splitting time with Bolden as a backup RB. I'll take that. Granted, his KO return potential is pretty limited, but he doesn't fumble and the number of returns is less than two kickoffs per game. I'd find...
When you think about it, we probably aren't even moving down a full round. Eagles 6th round pick will probably only be about 10-15 picks after our 5th...
I found it, thanks. As usual, detailed and informative.
If I read it right, Vollmer can make $1m more each year by playing in at least 90% of the offensive snaps. In my mind, that is not chump change. He probably gets a drive or two off each game anyway. If he tweaks a knee or ankle and...
I believe the reason for this is that we as fans are not able to assess one of Wendell's key responsibilities: making line calls. It is very difficult to know if he is doing it well if the play s not known, the pre-snap defense, etc...The Pats have seemed to gravitate toward the smaller, but...
Makes some sense. I was going to note that Coles' greatest contribution seemed to be as a gunner, a role that he handles quite well, IMO.
Adding another STer seems logical. I think that is what Davis brings o the table too. Also, it is an encouraging sin on Vollmer that an OL wasn't added.
...but none for the general fisticuffs/mele kinda thing.
Steve Smith was suspended once for fighting...his own teammate, Ken Lucas. But even that was just a team suspension, not by the league.
Funny, I had that same thought about Hightower today. Of the two, I think Hightower is more likely to see action there. First, I could see Collins' athleticism being used in coverage. The coaches may want to ease him into various roles. Second, in one of his interviews during TC, BB...
There is another philosophy that says there probably only a limited number of guys floating around out there that have potential to be NFL players. Teams will seek them out irrespective of position. Think I read Parcells mention something about coaches looking for 'players', not filling in...
Fewest returns in the league might be partially due to his having only 60 times, 31st in the NFL. Also, his % of punts resulting in a touchback was 28th worst.
I really like Mesko as a punter, largely because we know what we'd be getting. But I think he had a down year in 2013, and the...
I don't understand this line of reasoning.
DaBruinz, you often provide a reasonable counterargument to out-and-out homerism on the board, but do you want a 'Mulligan" on this one?
I think Mesko is the superior punter right now, but economics are certainly the deciding factor here. Mesko was slated to earn $1.323m this year. But that is not the real issue. Based on the most recent two punters to sign new deals, the average price for a top punter (and I believe Mesko...
