Schefter: Pats sign Brandon Lloyd

[Off The Grid]

If he can draw a safety when Wrecks trots out his "amoeba!" defense, then the Pats will tear the Jets middle defense apart with mismatches and single coverages.Lloyd offers what Ocho and Branch don't, a way out of teams clogging the middle with defensive players. The more one on one matchups for Gronk and Hernandez the better IMO...

ExactaMUNDO!!



As those much wiser than I ~ which is pretty much everyone ~ have explained so well in other threads: We don't need a Vertical threat, we need(ed) an Horizontal threat: A guy who can master the Route Tree AND possesses the EXTREMELY rare Processing Speed ~ just ask Chad Johnson, Torry Holt, and Joey Galloway how rare it is!! ~ to Rapidly Read + React to the Defense and make those instantaneous adjustments after the snap that make ALL the difference between success and failure!! We are IN, Brothers and Sisters!! :rocker:

I only had time to read about 7 or 8 pages of this thread, but I have to say it might contain the best collection of GIFs I've seen in a long time!

Well done Patsfans!

Oh, and LOVE this signing. LOVE IT!

What is it you think you're 'just saying'?

I kinda feel bad for Rappaport. He is a pretty good reporter and he is getting creamed on Twitter for getting this wrong.

Raps source was from the Pats(leverage leak). He will be taken care of.

So he's saying that he's insane on more than one messageboard at a time....

What else could he be saying Deus? Brandon Lloyd's 2012 stats: 2459 yards, 40 TD's. Book it!


But seriously, very happy about this one. Glad we have someone else with good hands out there.

Lloyd should be what we thought we were getting from Ochocinco last year. Someone that can consistently win 1-on-1 matchups outside the numbers.

 

[Nordberg]

It's 3rd and 8 with the game on the line.

Do you trust Randy to get open and pick up the first down or Lloyd (the route runner)

I can't believe how much you guys over rate Moss.

The guy had seven catches in five playoff games for us. Seven

Edit: I take that back.....he had five catches in the blowout vs the Ravens in 09

You trust the 2007 Moss over Lloyd from any year of his NFL career. Hell, you trust Moss over Lloyd from Lloyd's dreams. Seriously, you're trying to belittle the man who's arguably the second best wide receiver of all time with this crap? Go sleep it off.

Agree on the contract, total shock at the numbers. Was his market value that low or is that a huge "hometown" discount?

IMO - both. Rumor of his wierd locker-room moods probably scared potential
teams, as well as his openess to play for McDaniels again, does not
give other teams a warm and fuzzy feeling. Lloyd wants to play for a
winner AND McDaniels, which he was willing to take a discount.

Lloyd put the $$$ where his mouth was...

are you sure you clicked on the right thread? i know you have trouble with that.

Shouldn't you be somewhere crying about a non-existent slight by someone at a pep rally?

Yes. But, Lloyd knows what the multiple routes for a specific play is.

Ocho needs a GPS to figure out what to do. By that time, the play is over...

Seriously, That dude is having a very happy St paddy's day

Ochostinko does not know where to line up half the time.

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

OChostinko does not know where to line up half the time.

Yeah,you would think from all of Ocho's days in Cincy that he would know how to line up since more than half his teammates during his years in Cincy were in a 'Lineup' one week or another

"WE" weren't expecting much from 85 so I hope you are wrong.

Patriots agree to terms with Brandon Llyod per Schefter.

After being in the league for 10 years. Tom Brady finally has a great WR. Yes....better than Moss
