S Terrence Brooks Signs With Pats

[mgteich]

I like this signing. Special teams demons have value and a place in the nfl. Bb seems to keep four or five on the roster every year.

If he can take gunner snaps away from jones, then that leaves more snaps for Jones on defense.

yup

Ebner, slater, king, humber, McClellan were STO players last year.
Hollister and Patterson were primarily STers.

Do we think he will play potentially meaningful snaps on D?

No

Why would the #10 or #11 defensive back play meaningful snaps on defense? I think Obi was the 2019 equivalent with 3 tackles for the year.

I would expect that he is an upgrade over Humber, a 2018 STO player.

We are going have a Super ST's this year let just hope we don't get to any of those guys on the Dept Chart on O or D.

I rest my case about a Super ST's.

Because he might be good....?

Tavon Wilson played meaningful snaps. More double SS packages. Who knows.

Why the f.uck are these useless stiffs being signed Now? The Proper time to sign this nearly entire pile of crap is After the draft when actual, you know, good players have been chosen/signed.

Please remind me: WHO THE **** WAS BEATING DOWN TERRENCE ****ING BROOKS' DOOR AGAIN?!?

19-0

53 man roster. Special teams unit was subpar last season. BB believes in the 'all 3 phases of the game' that he preaches. And how do you know Brooks would be around post June 1st cuts? And why are you getting mad and/or surprised that the Pats sign players that they need for cheap? It has happened every season now for the past 20 years under BB.

sigh

Tavon Wilson is STILL playing safety in this league.

LB’s Humber and McClellan did a great job at ST...they helped fix the issues we had there. I’d rather bring them back then DB’s who don’t have Patriots experience.

Given the people who hate this signing it was a great move. Great job Bill.

 

[mgteich]

Patriots experience has little relevance when we are talking about players who will likely get zero meaningful reps on defense.

I like the Brooks signing a lot. And, yes I would like us to bring back McClellan or Humber, preferably McClellan.

For example....who would have a better shot at contributing in an emergency fill-in role on D...Humber and McClellan or Brooks? Just sayin'. Experience does matter.

I'm not sure if it was that coach's bfast or another one but there was one in which the minute BB sat down he had like 30 handheld recorders, phones and mikes stuffed in front of him. Visibly annoyed and exasperated, before he spoke he started pushing them all to the side and then spoke for less than 2 minutes.

Tough day for microphones and recorders at Bill Belichick's table

Open for business.

And after a season with us, they'll be getting massive contract offers on day 1 of free agency next year . . .

I don't think that the emergency fill in role for the top 5 STOer's is an issue. If Slater, Ebner Humber, McClellan and King never played a positional rep that would be fine.

This is the type of stuff that drives me crazy.

We get a bunch of special teams guys and kickers who get tossed off the team. Then the draft happens, we trade down a hundred times and never get anyone. I think belichick is literally building players out of spare parts like Frankenstein

Where do any of these guys come from lol. I get it really, B.B. thinkS he can’t draft because goodell takes them all. So, we beat elite teams with garbage

This approach has worked out horribly over the last 18 years. It's been an absolute disaster.
