-Jags honestly had better unis back then.
-Bill really shouldn’t have complaining about not picking out the groceries
because whatever combination we had with regards to the draft was working. We ended up with a 95 haul of Law, Ted Johnson, Curtis Martin and followed up with terry Glenn, milloy, and bruschi. I challenge any coach to pick better groceries.
I think Parcells was the one who picked Law, Ted Johnson and Curtis Martin.
Grier picked Glenn and Milloy.
Parcells may have come into the room again before the 3rd round and selected Bruschi. I know he returned at some point after blowing off steam.
The reason I say Parcells chose the '95 guys is because Kraft got wind of Parcells making deals with the Jets during the summer of '95. That's when they reworked Parcells' contract in order to eliminate Parcells' buyout, making it a one year deal. When Kraft figured out that's what was going on, he decided to protect the Patriots. No way was he going to allow the Jets' future coach to pick for the Patriots.
Parcells wanted DL Cedric Jones at the spot Terry Glenn was drafted. He would have been a bust.
Oh wow I was there too and I remember the blue pom poms! I think they were dark blue and had little 4 inch white plastic handles if I remember right. I don't remember ever throwing them out. I'm sure I have them packed away somewhere.Still have my blue BankBoston Pom Pom from that game lmao
I was there also and still have mine as wellStill have my blue BankBoston Pom Pom from that game lmao
I loved Todd Collins. He left the team for a bit but came back.2 comments after watching the 4th quarter:
1. In retrospect, I love watching Mark Brunell cry.
2. Holy cow, Todd Collins was still playing in 1996! Surprised to see him running around.
I was there as well and I will second the op; no Patriots crowd has ever been louder than when O T I S made that TD return...the aluminum benches were shaking
Still amazed the Donkeys lost to this Jaguar team at home. That’s right up there with Titans beating the Ravens this year. Maybe a bigger upset.
