Of course I don't believe that; they're our top two DLmen, but both of them can soon take calls about signing contracts from teams other than the Pats...We've never seen Allen play. I have agreed that we need another NT, two if Allen goes.
So, you believe that Belichick doesn't like Butler and Guy? OK. I disagree.
No one is arguing that we don't need to add a couple front seven folks. I just don't think that this weakness keeps Bill up at night.
=================================
The passing game on the other hand is an unqualified disaster. Our offense COULD be even worse if we lose a couple of OL's.
================
FOR ME
Bill will try to keep who he can before free agency formally starts. I don't think that there will be any panic over the defense as long as we keep Butler and Guy. Obviously, Bill expect Allen to start or he will get a $5M-$8M replacement. And I expect us to use a top draft choice for a front seven player. We all agree that there will be help brought in.
Some folks want to replace everyone and start over. I don't think that is what we should do on defense. And I would be shocked if that is Bill's posiiton.
Simon, Wise, Fat Thor, Coward, Spence...Dime a dozen, if not a nickel...
Same with Jennings, Bentley, Calhoun & Hall...
We all better pray that Hightower returns ... However, if neither he nor Guy nor Butler are in the building this summer, then we're looking at a front-7 PLUS backups with merely Wino & Uche worthy of keeping around for the re-build ... And the jury is still out regarding those two ...
