Reiss explains Jabaal Sheard benching

[The NZ Patriots]

Being overseas, I don't have the 'pleasure' of tuning into local NE radio. This is classic.
I cracked up when Mike goes "they wanted him (Welker) at their price" and Felger went mental: "see that's what I have a problem with, what is 'at your price'? You either want the player or you don't. Do you want the talent or do you want the contract?"

Great way to build a team under a salary cap

Well,youd think hed man up and start playing better. Whether he does or not, it will tell us a lot about him and whether hes worth keeping. Fact is, he was balling last year.

Seems like he responded in a positive way. Had a good game yesterday, and got some recognition for it. Belichick and Hightower both praising him today. Nice.
