Patriots re-signing Ben Watson

[shmessy]

I still feel we'll end up eventually with Watson and Dwayne Allen. That should really shore up the OL and, in Watson's case, at least be a threat for 2-3 catches per game.

That would be more ideal than what we’ve got now. Question is where is Dwayne Allen and is he healthy and in shape?

If Allen is healthy before seasons end I’ll take it.

Watson, Allen, Brandon Bolden.......

THESE are the type of TEAM "glue" players that help win championships.

.....and how about the most under-reported contribution of our rookie Punter doing the kickoffs!!!!

THIS is the type of special sauce that makes the Patriots different from the flash that doesn't stay consistent very long (I'm looking at your paper tiger KC Chiefs)..........

If they can get Dwayne Allen back, I wonder how hard the transition would be to do some FB. Blocking is Allen's strength and he's athletic enough. Would add some pass catching versatility too to the position.

The great coach-Qb pairing is what makes the Patriots different. History's pretty clear that "glue" players don't lead to sustained elite play.

Either him or Izzo would most likely take that role with the other used as the 2nd TE.

 

[Froob]

Would Watson’s contract have been guaranteed if he played on his original deal vs Skins or Giants similar to playing week one not suspended?

 

[Biffins]

This is just BB toying with Watson's emotions because he can. Watson will be cut on Saturday.

more like it’s no longer for $3m but cheaper

REPEAT TEN TIMES
Among TE, Izzo is one of the very worst blockers in the NFL.

Allen looked awkward as a pass catcher.

 

[mgteich]

Yes, Allen looked awkward all four times he was targeted last year. What is your point?
We aren't considering Allen as a receiver.

Allen looked awkward as a pass catcher.

Yesssssss. F^&king a-right!

Good to see that:

1. BB isn't a f^&king liar;
2. BB reads his hate mail (it worked).

[Scotty]

Izzo can't block but he has 3 ? more catches than lacosse who seems best at keeping the treatment table warm......Watson will contribute more than those two
