two of my favourite prospects right there.

Id rather have an experienced veteran as depth, than a typical UDFA rookie.

I'll see your Ogletree and Barron, and raise you an Aaron Donald.

Screw it! shall we move to the Rams forum?

And Aaron Donald and Michael Brockers and Alex Carrington and Barrett Jones....some of my binkies down the years!

Casillas was very similar to Wes Woodyard at one point, FWIW.

Also, I have to believe BB passed on Baron. He should have good inside info on both players.

This. Woodyard is an interesting and thoughtful comparison.

Robert Quinn for me.

There also have been major love for Long and Quinn!

Surprisingly though, let's not forget that Chung has actually played pretty well this year.

To be honest, I'm feeling a little underwhelmed especially when one considers the ridiculously low cost for Barron. Casillas may be a good trade as the season progresses but right now, I don't see much of an improvement in the Patriots roster and that's a little disappointing.

For what its worth, Casillas does have a Super Bowl ring with the Saints. At least he has some playoff experience.

 

[DaBruinz]

Man, I hope not :/ That would be a big hit to the ST unit. Although maybe Bolden can pick up the slack. He made some plays on special teams this week. He is channeling larry izzo! I think I saw him take a dump on the side lines last game

Why do people think so highly of Bolden on Special Teams? The guy takes bad penalties and doesn't make tackles.

Don Jones is the one who has been channeling Larry Izzo.. Guy has really stepped up to diminish the loss of Ebner over the past few games.. Hopefully, Ebner comes back healthy and the STs improves that much more.

I've never heard of him, but I expected nothing at all, so... {shrugs}

 

[DaBruinz]

Which is why Bucs traded him... yeah, right.

Guess you missed the part about it being the comments of a FORMER Bucs GM.. The current regime is cutting players that the old regime had brought in.. Is that really too hard for you to understean?

 

[Calciumee]

Oh yeah, that guy...

 

[kennyb]

He's not very good. Should have traded for one dane fletcher.

He was the one who recovered the onside kick in the SB vs. the Colts and that ballsy play is widely considered to have been the turning point in that game.

Hopefully BB will have him jog past Manning just to bring back bad memories.
