ganesh

May be there is a trade in place for Tom Brady to Indianapolis and the Patriots get the draft pick!!!!

+1.

BUt word was that Doug would have stayed if the assistants got their contracts extended (Final year)...It was refused. So he sensed that the Pegulas did not yet trust him and he blew the cop

For Sammy it was clear that this team was not going to pay him the $15M per year contract that he would demand for the production from him. If he were retained for this year, he would have walked. We have a 2nd round pick for him that could turn into a player for the next four years. The balance was heavily favored towards the getting the pick. Dareus was the easy one...He had conditioning problems and was penciled as the Starter here. He couldn't break into the starting line up. How do you pay him $100M to be backup. The JAX were leaking against the run and were desperate and had the cash...so they made the deal. They are not on the hook for anything for Dareus and could cut him this offseason...For them the risk to rewards was pretty high and hence they chose the trade. If Dareus could have a great training camp and push to be the starter, then it may come back to impact them on their salary cap. The case Darby was the hard one to understand. There must have been something going on inside that build that we are not privy.

And the Pat's defense is weak.

May be the Patriots Defense is not as good!

Having 3 QBs competing in training camp NEVER works....The TC is to have the team gel as one and play as 11 on the field....Having a 3-headed competition at the most important position is a huge distraction and whoever comes out of that simply outran the other two mediocre....we will be left be a average to below average QB

The last time the three QBs that went ahead of us were Eli Manning Philip Rivers Ben Rothelisberger Just saying!

The Chicago Bulls in the 90's countered Patrick Ewing and the Knicks by having three Centers in their rotation and have each them foul Ewing 5 times (They got 15 fouls from that position) and they kept upsetting the rhythm of Ewing. Someone like BB will do exactly the same knowing very well he has now a control on the outcome of the game.

Only if the Saints don't go to the playoffs the next 17 years!

Bingo.. These QBs don't become super star overnight!....That Minnesota Defense is something. Reading the QB situations are tricky... Warner was a SB winning QB with the Rams and then was a back up with the Giants...and then again competed at the Cardinals and was a feet-outbound from winning a Super Bowl with them.

Both are from the same program even if they did not cross each other

Will this mean they might make a play for AJ McAaron too?

It is like saying if the Jax don't get the 55 sacks, they will be in the bottom 1/3rd of the NFL!!!!

This simply showed a poorly coached team...Players not understanding what they need to do there...All he need was to push the player out of bounds or tackle inside. Game over.

They have to beat a pretty good Eagles team in their house before the Vikings can dream of their own backyard

We don't have good depth. I don't know if Glenn will come back from his injury. Incognito may be gone if the racial slur is proved. Wood is, as you wrote, average right now. We need a dominating center that can preserve the pocket for the QB. Our OL definitely requires work.

BB's coordinators have never had a successful HC gig. Hope Patricia will be different.

No. That defense played poorly. Ever since Polamalu retired that team has never been the same So the coach has no part in getting and coaching this "incredible offensive talent"? I believe Cowher was the one who lucked out with getting Ben and riding him to a championship.

That final play almost gave the feeling that NFL was fixed...The DB trying to NOT tackle the ball catcher !!!

This is a misnomer...Shady takes a lot of bad hits and gets buried with big LBs and DT on him. With his small frame, he is taking a hell of a beating!!! Need another back who can get TDs

When you look at the top of that list and the type of "meah" players, I think Jordan Mathews is going to make a lot of money...Like a Robert Woods type money.

It will be a fifth with an option to be 4th based on playing time

I am not sure..While we had a kick ass Defense, we still did not have a Franchise QB.

But Dennison also put him in bad situations with bad play calling. They simply did not have rhythm except for that 9 minute drive that resulted in the FG at 1st and Goal at the 1 yard line
