The Two "Needs"

[mgteich]

1) punt returner who can be the emergency 5th WR

2) special teamer who can be a backup front severn defensive backup

OF COURSE, Belichick might be planning to trade for such a player, after he sees who has been cut (or before).

Your wish is Bill's command

Well done.

.....What needs?

 

[WhoaDirty]

Confirmed: mgteich is BB.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I'm still uneasy over PR duties long term.

I guess DA is da man week 1

[KDPPatsfan85]

Hey, BB also threw in a Nink 2.0 or Vrabel 3.0!

Can Phillip Dorsett return punts? He hasn't really done it in the NFL, but he did for a while in college.


Jeremy Kerley was cut by SF. Pats don't need another WR, but he's an experienced PR that may have a bit of gas left in the tank (turns 29 in November).

In this world the "cap is crap"...

 

[goheels22002]

Johnson Bademosi - crazy man in the DB/ST role who will run through walls for the Patriots out of gratitude for being rescued from Cleveland

Philip Dorsett in the PR/backup WR role to Hogan and Cooks who will run through walls for the Patriots out of gratitude for being rescued from Indianapolis

New needs?

1) backup OL/center (should have kept Karras IMHO)
2) someone to go to Captain Stone's house and read the starting lineups to him over and over until he smiles and opens a beer.

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

I expected that Need #1 was going to be "to stay healthy."

 

[PScottman]

Did I see TJ Ward signed by the Bucs? So one need for week four now - no one getting hurt (Gronk!) by that dirty (*&^%$#!!

[Mack Herron]

So everyone is okay with Richards as S4?

The more Captain Stone sh.ts on them the better they actually are.

So true. Captain Stone had explosive diarrhea halfway through the 3rd quarter of SB51. Belichick knew he had 'em right where he wanted 'em.
