HOLY FUCK PATS WTF ARE YOU DOING!?[views:11417][posts:68]_________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 10:07pm - xmikex ""] RTTP communal mock draft? |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 10:18pm - Dankill ""] They could also do some trading in the offseason for players or picks. I'd say they get ballsy and trade Nick Kazur. Vollmer pretty much stole his friggin job and there are teams out there dying for even decent O-linemen. That and I wonder if they honestly expect anything to finally come out of the Shawn Crabble project. I swear, the guy is gonna miss this season from getting AIDS while falling out of a plane or something. |

And the fact that he's coming off a major injury should be another big red flag. The last thing we need is another high draft pick sitting around on IR. If the Pats pass on another Clay Matthews I'm going to lose my mind. Granted we got Pat Chung, Darius Butler, and Vollmer out of it. But trading up to get Ron Brace when there were good passing rushing DE's on the board still burns me up to this day. I've got to believe that the plan was to find some talent for the outside of our front 7 in this year's draft or free agency. Having great young DB's isn't going to mean shit if they can't get any help up front. So no goddamn tight ends!!!! |
| __________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 10:33pm - RustyPS ""] I think with a new OC (PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF JEEBUZ), and a physically gifted TE with hands would change the role of a TE in the offense....think about it...how long has it been since the Pats have had a TE they could rely on? Fauria maybe? |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 10:37pm - Dankill ""] I'm with you on Matthews. I was so high on him last year and to see the mayhem he wreaks for the Packers kills me. Hell, they could have at least grabbed Malaluga (sp?) in the 2nd round. He had a pretty good rookie year with the Bengals. What the fuck have we gotten out of Brace or even Chung at this point?! |
| __________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 10:40pm - RustyPS ""] I will admit, I'd rather have Matthews than Brace at this point imagine a 2nd round of Chung, Matthews, Butler, and Vollmer...man oh man...most likely best 2nd round of all time |
| __________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 10:49pm - RustyPS ""] that said, I LOVE the last draft....Butler, Vollmer, Chung, Edelman, and Pryor all contributed...Brace should be better with time....and if Tate and McKenzie can come back healthy and can play....that's 8 picks that could pan out in one draft...pretty incredible |

| ___________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 11:00pm - Dankill ""] Alright, I'm gonna hold you to that. I DO have faith in McKenzie and Tate to make some waves next year. |

| __________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 11:14pm - RustyPS ""] I don't think Wheatley saw the field this season at all |
| _________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 11:27pm - xmikex ""] Wheatley and Wilhite will be the Walmart 3rd shift's new dynamic duo next september. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 11:31pm - RustyPS ""] Jerry Hughes highlights bennyhillifier very fast, good play recognition, good pursuit, great motor my concern is in most of this video, he's playing almost exclusively with hand down on the defensive left, meaning he's doing all this against right tackles...in a more complicated defense, he might not be as useful, and I have no idea if he's capable of covering anyone, which he would need to do with the Pats, or any other 3-4 team for that matter |
| __________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 11:34pm - RustyPS ""] xmikex said:Wheatley and Wilhite will be the Walmart 3rd shift's new dynamic duo next september. and I hope that pill-popping asshole Kaczur joins them....I despise that man |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 11:40pm - Dankill ""] Wilhite is who I meant to say. my bad. Rusty, you should hope my idea of trading Kaczur happens then. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 11,2010 11:42pm - RustyPS ""] whatever it takes to get that shithead off the Pats |
| ________________________________ [Jan 12,2010 9:23am - xmikex ""] What are people's thoughts on Arrelious Benn (WR Illinois)? When I saw this guy's sophomore year effort I thought he was going to be a top 10 pick, but I guess he had a pretty disappointing junior year. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 12,2010 9:29am - arilliusbm ""] I approve Arillius Benn. |
| _________________________________ [Jan 12,2010 9:36am - RustyPS ""] bennyhillifier from what I've seen of him, great breakaway speed, good body control, can break tackles (although that might be shitty college CBs who can't tackle), elusiveness, can kick/punt return not opposed to this guy EDIT: here's what WalterFootball says "Arrelious Benn, Illinois Height: 6-2. Weight: 214. Projected 40 Time: 4.46. Projected Round (2010): 2. 1/3/10: Arrelious Benn has declared for the 2010 NFL Draft. Benn had a disastrous junior season mired by drops and poor effort. Still, it was a great move to get out of the Illinois sinking ship. 11/7/09: Needs to practice catching toilet paper in the super market; his hands suck. 10/10/09: Juice Williams' ineptness has debacled Arrelious Benn, who has only 10 catches in four games. Benn's role in Illinois' goofy offense will cost him on Draft Day." so now I don't know if his hands really do suck or if he was just looking to get out of Illinois (also a red flag, means if he doesn't like his situation, he won't produce) |
