Well deserved, he made play after play. Including the game clincher

 

[Mack Herron]

I guess he can stop complaining about the lack of recognition?

 

[I.M. Fletcher]

Psssst

We have the best secondary AND the best linebacker core in the league.

Good luck league

At a cost of moving down 24 draft slots from the bottom of the 6th (215) to the middle-ish of the 7th (239) KVN's acquisition ranks right up there with BB's best deals.

He has developed into a very good pass rusher.

I, as many others, stated my concerns about who would step up when Ninkovich retired.

It's a real pleasure to see KVN step into those shoes and be so successful.

BTW, my youngest daughter called him "Kevin" because of his initials. I think I'm gonna use that as a nickname for him.

KeVN FTW!

I think Belichick won that trade.

The projection of his career here has been otherworldly

I hope we don’t lose him after this year

agreed. Great player. I think you have to just enjoy the defense this year as next year it will look a lot different. KVN, Butler, Shelton, Collins are free agent, Jmac and DMac could retire, Bennett will be 35, Chung 33, Harmon could be a cap causality.

I hope as well that he sticks around. Great dude, in the right place with a coaching staff that knows how to use him to his strengths. Another of those unlikely players that end up fan favourites.

JC honorable mention?

The linebacker part is the most surprising to me. I really thought Jamie Collins was toast, watching him last year.

"Belichick the GM is killing Belichick the coach, Mike!"

The linebacker part is the most surprising to me. I really thought Jamie Collins was toast, watching him last year.

So far Collins has been an absolute revelation. Exactly the player we hoped he would be going into 2016. Extremely flexible and diverse skillset playing at an AP level.

I can't be happier to be completely effing wrong about him only being a depth piece this year.

That’s not exactly what I was expecting. I mean if you were expecting NFL Defensive player the of year type of player than kudos. He’s beastin’ right now.

I’m actually blown away by how good Collins is. Not surprised by KVN though. He gets better every year. Funny thing I really wanted the Pats to draft him that season and then we end up getting him later on. Pretty cool that he is excelling here.

What are the chances Jamie Collins is the AFC defensive player of the month?
Based on their defensive rating you would think a Patriot would be in the running, Devin McCourty?
I wish the NFL would tell who finished in the top 5 not just who won the monthly award.

Felger and his little buddy Mazz, both are crapping their pants after all their 2018 comments, for Felger it was "personal" whatever that means.

“Oh last year he sucked,” Massarotti said. “Please. And he sucked worse the year before. It was degrees of suck.”

“To me, it’s personal,” added Felger. “I’ve never met him, but every time he opens his mouth I’m like, ‘You are a tool!’ You are an ass. Every time I hear him talk I’m like, ‘Where did that attitude come from?’ You suck. And if it wasn’t for this team you’d be covering punts in Detroit. You suck. Where do you get that attitude from?

He is great in 2019.
He was good in 2018.
He was average in 2017.
He struggled in 2016.
