Matthew Slater: the last great gunner?

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

A surprise here, and a warning. This is a very well-written story from ESPN, which usually gives us nothing besides Mike Reiss.

It talks about the declining role of special teams and the work ethic and development of a great team captain.

Is Pats lifer Matthew Slater the last great gunner?

 

[Wordsmyth]

I have to get a Slater jersey this year.

 

[Uptown]

Yes.

Matthew Slater is a good cat er eh kid.
Maybe he can be a character coach?

Yup, my favorite current Patriot.

I'd get his jersey also, but I only wear the jersey of the longest tenured player...and Slater is #3 on that list. Gonna be interesting to see what jersey I will own when Brady/Gostkowski/Slater all walk away within 2-3 seasons. I went from Bledsoe-->T.Brown--->Bruschi--->Faulk--->Brady....

one of my favs too, actually, several of your jersey's are some of my old favs.... Jules would be next man up of list of tenured players.

Was this a thing in the past or just every decade or so there's one STer that NFL fans actually acknowledge and so happens we got one.
