HessStation Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I think Cole is a good player. And Lloyd is the real deal imo. A legit #1. Not Top 10'esque but legit. Gonzalez is a dark horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 They are replacing last year's crop of scrubs with new ones. They do this annually. Value FA signings. Jets are trying to do it this year, except they aren't getting anything but future residents of the IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Pats, IMO, are having a nice off season. They have a bit of cap space, and a lot of picks yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashmouth Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I think Cole is a good player. And Lloyd is the real deal imo. A legit #1. Not Top 10'esque but legit. Gonzalez is a dark horse. Just 1 short year ago Lloyd had 1500 yards and 11 TDs with the ordinary Kyle Orton Throwing to him now hes going to a team where you will have Tom Brady throwing and you will still have to worry about Welker Gronk Hernandez ...... If New Englands young Defense is really starting to Jell under Belichick like they seemed to be doing at the end of this season this is going to be one hell of a season for the Patriots NFL record breaking offensive season IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If New Englands young Defense is really starting to Jell under Belichick like they seemed to be doing at the end of this season this is going to be one hell of a season for the Patriots NFL record breaking offensive season IMO Unfortunately I would have to agree with you. They're stacking up to take the division. We are clearly their only competition and proved that we have the formula to beat their current "midgets under the middle" offense, which is really pretty simple you just cheat up the secondary. However by adding Lloyd to the picture you have to respect their long ball, and they still have the aforementioned midgets under the middle. A good safety will help us here as we are forced to move Revis back into man and bring Landry into the box. And yeah about that Pats D.... They looked pretty lights out by the end of last year. We need to gel on offense ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Gregory could be an interesting pick up. Hes been depth, but played really well when called upon. He gets a shot to start. Fanene is another one. Gonzalez, Scott and Gallery havent been able to stay healthy. Fells is a decent #3 TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GronkWelkHead Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Many of you fail to realize that teams have to go into camp with 80 players. BB has always loaded up on low cost/risk high potential guys. He seems to love grabbing guys of the IR heap, Most of these signings are nothing more than an attempt to add depth, versatilty, and camp competition. Also, the more holes you can fill before the draft the better position you're in to take BPA instead of drafting for need. Wouldn't surprise me if only 3-4 out of 10 actually make the team.

Carter and Anderson worked out really well. Ellis had his moments, but didnt do enough and wont be back. Ihedigbo played pretty good. Stinko and Haynes svcked.

While I don't necessarily think we have a weak org, I would like to see a "less proud" style and not be afraid to cut losses when they see them. It's weird though. I'm also a believer in giving people time to develop. I really see no viable way for me to be satisfied quite frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryno the Jet Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 It's the shotgun approach. Sure, some of the shot will miss the target, but the kill will still be made. The genius in all of this is the way the Pats FO convinces all of these FAs to sign team friendly contracts. It is not hard to believe that players will take a chance with their deals knowing that they get to play for a SB contender. Take Gallery for example. Huge monster that has never lived up to his potential and has been plagued by injuries. BUT, they signed him for depth behind one of the most talented Olines in the league. He probably could have waited on a sh*tty team to sign him as a starter, but NE is the best fit for him and he knows it. I can already see Bellychicken creating a package with the giant athletic Gallery on the field as an extra lineman, flanked by Gronk with Henandez in the backfield. Good luck stopping that if they only need a yard to get a first or TD...then you see the PA TE rollout shortly after. Surely one of these days these "shenanigans" will come back to bite them in the butt, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
