Ex-Carolina Panthers DT Andre Neblett signed; Davis & Davis re-signed to PS

Do you really expect some savior to be walking in off the street?

Can Tebow play NT?

At this point, the Patriots just need someone big to occupy space and help control the LOS. If Neblett does that, then fine.

The biggest problem with the DT/NT situation was not having adequate replacements in the event that Wilfork went down. Many of us spoke about this at length during Free Agency and in the lead up to the draft.

Andre Neblett. Another "good value" signing. Still several million under the cap. In Bill We Trust. uke:

It's been 10 days since Wilfork tore his Achilles', and this is the best Bill & Nick could find?
They would've been better-served throwing a dart blind-folded at a list of UFA DTs.

Here's what one site thinks of Neblett:

We need a wide-body, not someone barely 6' who has to juice to tip 300#.

Well I think you should notify Bill and Nick immediately! They should know that they signed a sub-par DT.

Have you sent in your resume yet?

If they're looking for 5'9" and 175, then I'm their man.

Do you really expect some savior to be walking in off the street? The best they will be able to find is someone that won't get run over in goal line situations.

If that's all they're looking for, then why not sign one of the over-30 UFA DTs? Antonio Garay,
for example, if healthy & willing, could help in that area more then Neblett.

They'll find out soon enough.

He's a backup.

First thing he has to do is be activated for the game.

If he can plug the middle , ok.

If he can get some push, GREAT.

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Oh, yeah? Do they play in a defense averaging under 18 points per game, on a 4-1 first place team?



*****Edit: I just checked on the situations they find themselves in (you know, the ones that they are "laughing" from):

Kyle Love: Collecting unemployment
Brandon Deaderick: Anchoring the legendary Jacksonville Jaguar championship defense (32.6 pts per game).

So yeah, PFiP - - you may want to rethink that one.

Well I don't think Brandon really cares because he is getting paid regardless of being on the Jags....(and BTW that Jags 32.6 is about to take an even bigger hit this Sunday)....I still firmly believe that many of today's players are more about money than championships.

As far as Love goes,I am surprised he hasn't found a roster to hang on to,perhaps his diabetes is bad or he simply is well out of shape.

So you've seen him play? Awesome, what are his issues run or pass D? How did he handle playing strongside DT in college against NFL quality Guards/Tackles? Any opinions on his play vs NFL caliber players in general while in college?

How about a scouting report while in the NFL? Were his sacks luck?

Thanks.

I too like to preemptively hate on a player just so I can make sure I'm not late to the bandwagon.

For instance I am already infuriated by our 2014 2nd round pick and am sure whoever he is will fail miserably.
