Needs moar NFL draft talk[views:31238][posts:314]_________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 8:57am - RustyPS ""] there's a vid of Jermaine Cunningham on this page: http://www.nepatriotsdraft.com/2010/04/2010-nfl-draft-with-53rd-pick.html |
| _________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 9:14am - RustyPS ""] Taylor Price against Tennessee this past season: bennyhillifier 3 observations: 1) whoever was his QB at Ohio should be pumping gas for a living when he graduates....Price was targeted 12 times in the game, only caught 4, but as you'll see in the video, every other target was a horrible throw 2) he appears to have very good hands and can take a hit 3) he blows up Eric Berry way downfield on a YAC catch by another WR, has no fear blocking LBs and DEs, and does a great job at it I coveted Damian Williams, and I think they should've taken him over Spikes and maybe Cunningham (because they were both taken pretty high), but this guy looks like he can be something |
| ________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 9:59am - xmikex ""] Whenever I read a scouting report about somebody's route running ability I'm kind of like "yeah yeah yeah, some scout is being overly critical." But this guy finds the seams and angles nicely. After watching this guy's blocking abilities, the Spikes pick, the Gronkowski pick I think it's indicative of something I've been saying all along that the Pats needed to get more physical and addressing that was one of their highest overall concerns in this draft. I think they've done that so far. And they didn't draft anybody with a goddamn knee injury. |

| __________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 10:51am - RustyPS ""] and the Jets just traded in front of the Pats to take Joe McKnight |
| __________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 10:53am - RustyPS ""] AARON HERNANDEZ! that's a steal |
| __________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 11:00am - RustyPS ""] the Pats have a LOT of weapons now: Moss, Edelman, Holt, Price, Gronkowski, Hernandez....and from what I hear Brandon Tate has been doing the offseason program all along with no signs of a lingering injury |
| _______________________________ [Apr 24,2010 1:07pm - Pires ""] Jason Campbell to the Raiders. Leon Washington and Lendale White to the seahawks. Kirk Morrison to the Jags. Holy fucking trades batman! |
| __________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 4:22pm - Dankill ""] Just got home from work. I like the Hernendez trade and Zoltan was who they were targeting the whole time for Punter. Question: Alan Fanica? Take or leave? |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 8:32pm - MillenialKingdom ""] I'm surprised the Jets released Fanica. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 24,2010 11:42pm - xmikex ""] 1. Kirk Morrison to the Jags is a great move for a team that was on the verge of trading John Henderson. They still don't have a real quarterback or an offensive line, or any fan interest. But their rushing yards allowed will certainly drop... great. I don't lament him not going to the Pats because we're stacked at inside linebacker right now. 2. I was a bit perturbed that we took a Punter in the 5th with a lot of good project corners still on the board. But Hanson is a pussy is was never consistent. Mesko averaged 45+ yards per punt at Michigan. It was a big weakness of the Pats that is now addressed. 3. Leon Washington for a 5th rounder is craziest trade since Randy Moss for a 4th. Unless Rex Ryan has info that Washington's knee is fucked up still, he's an absolute moron for turning his back on BOTH his best running backs now. Shonn Greene sucks, and Ryan is only out to prove that he can run his system with his guys not Manginis. 4. Releasing Faneca because he wouldn't take a paycut IN AN UNCAPPED YEAR is ridiculous. The same year that the Pats get meaner on their front 7 the Jets get weaker at offensive line. Works for me. 5. Hernandez is an interesting pick. He's a purely pass catching TE but fits in instantly now as a rotational #2 TE. Both Gronkowski and Hernandez have Crumpler to learn from too. Don't expect him to help out at all with the running game though. 6. So are the Patriots primed to win the SEC championship or what? 3 Florida players in the same draft? Why not just bring in Urban Meyer to be the OC? He meets my #1 overall qualification of NOT being Bill O'Brien. 7. I'd be interested to see if Belichick tries moving Gary Guyton to the outside. He's great in coverage and is the fastest LB on the team. That way you don't take any playing time away from McKenzie and Spikes in the middle. The fact that they drafted a true blue 3-4 middle linebacker in Spikes suggests to me that they actually are going to reinforce the 3-4 again and maybe move Mike Wright to DE as a stop gap solution until the 2011 draft in which we have 4 of the top 64 picks. |

| ______________________________________ [Apr 27,2010 9:47am - SkinSandwich ""] Looking at the Pats schedule, barring upsets, they could, at the most go 12-4. You know though, I am honestly SICK of the Patriots playing the Colts every fucking year. I know there is a bit of a rivalry, but enough already. Honestly, the rivalry is not what it used to be. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 27,2010 10:03am - RustyPS ""] its actually because of how they both finish each year you play your division rivals twice each, one game each against teams in one AFC conference that rotates each year, and one game each against teams in one NFC conference that rotates each year, which is 14 games...to make up the other two, you play the corresponding team in the other divisions in your conference according to where you both finish the year before so the Pats may not play the AFC North every year but because the Pats and Colts finish in the same spot in their respective divisions every year, they play every year |
