REPORT: Patriots Add WR Austin Collie

[ensoul]

Re: Austin Collie signed

Right now the only solid receivers this team has is Thompkins and Edelman. Seems like a good assumption that Amendola, Gronk and Dopson are not playing this Sunday.

Re: Austin Collie signed

Can never have enough short white and injury prone wide outs. What's Blair White up to these days?

What happened to him? A few people here really wanted him in the draft or as a UDFA signing and were pissed when Indy got him. To make matters worse, he was pretty damn good for an undrafted rookie and almost beat us singlehandedly, then completely fell off the face of the planet after that one year.

Limited yesterday. Probably will be for the rest of the week and be listed as Questionable along with 15 others. Supposedly he's fine and there's no damage, just pain.

Re: Austin Collie signed

didn't we have him in camp recently and he retired to go back to school, or something -- or am I thinking of somebody else?

That was the other injury prone former Colt, Anthony Gonzalez.

Relax everybody.

Dr. Gill and the "vaunted" The New England Patriots Medical Staff has approved of this signing.

What's the concern?

I really hope he's seeing some sophisticated neurological guys. At the end of the day, this is a medical issue and we all really don't know what we're talking about. The question though is whether he has the right doctors or just ones that tell him what he wants to hear.

Could you imagine if you had a medical issue, were sitting in the exam room, and a guy came in and said, "Hi, I'm Dr. _____. I have to leave soon, because I also work for the New England Patriots."? I'd leave without getting my parking ticket validated.

Maybe we can get Ted Johnson to sneak into the Patriots facility and either (a) Talk some sense into him (b) kidnap him for his own good. (I'm sure the judge would let him off with a warning)

This could end badly.

I really don't think Collie has any business being on a football field.

Re: Austin Collie signed

I don't like this signing myself. Too many risks involved given his injury record.

They worked him out in June.

LOL sorry for going OT but wow that sig is too much. I opened this thread again and busted out laughing like a lunatic. Thanks for that

Re: Austin Collie signed

Needs Defensive Tackle, signs Slot Receiver. Not sure if serious...

If they're going to make a move for DT I'd imagine the move will be made Saturday. It will be either AJ Francis or Marcus Forston being promoted from the practice squad.

Re: Austin Collie signed

Does this guy have anything left? Dude was beastly a couple of seasons ago until he got his head knocked off.

Re: Austin Collie signed

Didn't realize he had 4 concussions in a 15 month span. Thats pretty rough.

I second that it is hilarious.

His little bio where he says he is from reminded me of this:
