In an age of run heavy schemes Bobby Hamilton was 285 pounds, Anthony Pleasant was 280 pounds... both DE's, Seymour at 320 pounds was exactly what that defense needed... totally clueless. You think run stops happen with good intentions. In fact until Seymour was moved into the starting lineup in the Atlanta game in week eight of 2001 the team was 3-4... they only lost one more game the entire rest of the season after that. But Brady becoming a starter is what turned it all around, despite losing the Jets game, then the one after the Colts against the Dolphins, and again in week 7 against the Broncos...
"the Patriots Dynasty doesn't start and end with Seymour. Which is what you said." <That is a quote from you above, go find where I said that? I never said anything resembling that, in fact the only thing I've done is refute that any one player is entirely responsible for anything and that includes Brady. I've always said TEAM is why teams win rings and have never been wrong. Fanboys give QB's all the credit... you've earned that label.
Seymour, Law, Antwoin Smith, McGinest, Troy Brown, Matt Light, Andruzzi, Damien Woody, Vrabel, Bruschi, Roman Phifer, Lawyer Milloy... saying 21 year old just learning how to be a pro Brady was responsible for these guys success is hilariously misguided fanboy nonsense. But keep up the cheerleading... people whip out "straw man" when they're failing and have nothing else.
We've had Brady for two decades... by all rights we should have 20 rings... laughable.
