I mean, go ask Bledsoe, right? It's not that the fans owe him anything, but it has to sting going through that week 1 of preseason. What's going to happen when games matter and he has a bad drive or two in his first home start?
Just wanted to chime in by saying, despite Gronk's injury history, this is not something I'd put on him. There was no time to react to Ward coming at him like that, and this league has evolved towards big hits in the secondary after the catch. Finley, Keller, just some of the pass catching TEs...
He's great within the pats system, and catching passes from Brady doesn't hurt, but he's also one of the greatest slot receivers of all time.
He was the most productive receiver in Miami before joining the pats, productive opposite Moss, productive without him, productive still without Brady...
Arguing whether this is a good or bad pick is pointless at this point. The NFL (Belichick's tenure, even) is checkered with stories of highly regarded first round picks that have been failures, as well as those of UDFAs who have become perennial pro-bowlers. Kiper and the other media scouts have...
Also, can we still call the base formation a 4-3? When Carter was in there, it made more sense, seeing as he was a true 4-3 DE but even then, the opposite DE was usually a heavier 3-4 DE like Deaderick. With Anderson filling in, isn't it more a 3-4 with a 4-3 look with Anderson playing OLB/DE...
A number of thoughts:
My biggest issue is the money the team is bound to lose. Aside from that, I was surprised, but not particularly shocked. Depth is an issue, but the Pats wouldn't have been playing musical chairs with their practice squad DBs if Dowling and Bodden were healthy. It looks...
Well, I liked how Brady spread the ball last week, considering he never completed a pass to Moss. Say what you will about defenses having to double him leaving room for Welker--and I agree that the synergy allowed for a Brady-Welker feast and the killer bomb to Moss--the big difference between...
The worst performance was on the Ricky Williams TD play. Aside from that, a lot of bending, but also coming up big with key turnovers. I think this is by design; Six INTS in the last 5 quarters... that's an emerging trend.
Still, I'd like to see more stops on third and long, and I think once...
Yeah, let's not jump down aurakilla's throat for pointing out the truth: The argument isn't that Crable is going to be similar in talent to James Harrison and it shouldn't have to be-- it's that waiting four years for a non-running back to develop isn't out of the realms of possibility. Plus, we...
Re: SMY Reporting Crable to the 53man Roster
I always thought it was odd that the defense went down to 3 OLBs for the Jets game, but I suspected Murrell's exit was because of something Crable showed. Activating him so late in the week also makes him that much harder to game plan against for...
I'm not going to freak out about Butler just yet. Pass interference calls are bad, but they are to be expected and, that aside, he's been covering Ochocinco and Braylon Edwards in his first 2 weeks as a starting corner. The margin of error with those two go-to receivers is so small and he's been...
