Patriots officially sign Jamie Collins

[italian pat patriot]

I am probably in minority but i am not thrilled at all...

 

[Sicilian]

Great we are bringing back an old player to replace an another old player we brought back this summer and to play with another old player that didn’t play for a year and don’t seem to be able to play anymore.

aren’t we suppose to get younger and better?

They've used three draft picks (in the top 3 rounds) on linebackers in the past two drafts. And this isn't exactly the best time of year to find great young players on the street. Collins is better than Langi or Tavai who have had to play with some recent injuries.

I was thinking that fireplug punter from Pitt (5-11 / 263). Train him up to 275/280 and you've got a Tolkien-esque dwarf at NT. And we know what the sons of Durin think of being tossed.

I halfway wonder if Collins isn’t the only athletic LB we’re bringing in.

The Gilmore release opened more space than the Collins signing used.

Are they gonna kick the tires on Jaylon Smith and/or extend J.C.?

I'm not expecting much more, honestly. They have bonuses that may kick in, and have to account for emergencies.

It's a very unexciting move, in my opinion. He's a very athletic guy who doesn't stay on script. Purely depth at this point.

 

[sb1]

Meh.

Did you just "Okay Boomer" Jamie Collins?

 

[PScottman]

I'm kinda "Meh" too, but given the hue and cry regarding Bentley (as off as they are at this particular moment) and alternatives like Langhi what's the downside honestly?

 

[condon84]

He seems to play his best when he's with the Pats. Not the worst of moves.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Wasn’t she one of the super sexy dancers in my new favorite Old Navy commercial?

What a disgusting commercial that is. Terrible message to send to girls if any age.

 

[TomPatriot]

Great. What about an OL?

We had better bring in a competent OL! Hopefully a decent RT.

 

[Ring 6]

We are looking at the Boogeyman lb/de group plus Judon and Uche.

Hoping this means the 3 DT defense gets abandoned.

 

[Kontradiction]

We had better bring in a competent OL! Hopefully a decent RT.

You mean LT?

 

[PScottman]

You mean LT?

Both.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Welcome back playa. Throw up ya cash and change tha forecast

 

[PowerRunRevival]

Like others on here I'd rather have an upgrade at OL or DL than a linebacker, but Collins was available in free agency in week 5 and those positions weren't.

Long term, I think I'd rather have Collins snaps go to developing players like Uche and Winovich.

 

[Love The Drake]

Did Collins at least sign a 2 yr I mean is some team going to sign him again other than us?
only way I see that happening is if Mayo becomes a head coach or a coordinator else where

You know the average woman is a size 12 right? Go do some research into the damage nothing but size 0 models in advertising does. Representation matters and I don’t think having some regular woman every once in awhile is a bad thing. Same reason all those fake penis pumps and get big pills sell, guys like you watch too much porn and think that’s normal.
