Isn't every player that is cut perfect for Belicheck?

What are you talking about?

Did I miss something, did he not have a great career in Philly?

Yeah, no other fans are dumb enough to waste time on something so ridiculous to make themselves look like children. Next, they hold their breaths until they turn blue.

Can't be true, read all the posts and the BN, he's going to the Patriots. They will pick his brain and learn our offensive system.

along with Williams and Dixon.

I have no idea what type of coach he would be. Just don't totally understand why people assume he would be good enough to be an NFL coach, or that he would even want to coach. And I do think he will sign with another team very soon, so his career will continue.

You obviously haven't spoken to me or anyone else I've talked to about it. It's really not that difficult to comprehend the football logic behind the move. Why do you not think the move is to justify Whaley drafting Karlos Williams, or signing FA Boobi Dixon, or trading for McCoy? Why is it Brown?

how do you know he would be a good coach?

Belichek is also know for being pretty ruthless when it comes to releasing star players a year too soon as opposed to a year too late, but if he does sign Jackson, it won't be for $2.5 million.

I believe he was much younger in those games. It does make a difference.

NE is pretty deep at RB right now. I know they go through quite a few, but still remember, Fred is 34 and there isn't a high demand for a RB that age. They don't stay healthy and he hasn't stayed healthy.

I would think cutting a 34 year old RB is more long term, than short sighted.

I see no reason not to take Rex on his word. It was a fair competition, now the management will decide. Sometimes(most times), the fans make something out of nothing.

What's the point of a 'smokescreen'?

I agree that the QB's have looked very good, but still need to take it with a grain of salt. It's preseason and defenses don't game plan. No way , with the offense on the field today(no Watkins, Woods, Harvin, McCoy) does this team move up and down the field for 500+ yards. Matt Simms marches the team right down the field for a TD. However, the QB's made every pass they were asked to make, and did everything we needed them to do in the games. I'm encouraged, but I wonder how the coaches gauge their performances in preseason games, which don't really show too much. The demands on the QB's during the regular season cannot be compared to the demands of a preseason game. Not until they do it in the regular season, which is how it should be handled.

Cassel was hurt last year, Manuel missed time his rookie season with a couple injuries. Every QB has a high risk of injury, this is why if TT starts, it's crazy to trade Manuel.

Too many posts to go through here, but has anyone entertained the thought the EJ is battling for the backup position with his start tomorrow. My guess is they've decided on their starter, but not on the backup.

It's amazing that this is so hard for so many to comprehend.

from reporters, this was earlier in camp.

From what I hear most of camp our TE's have been underwhelming , it sounds like O'Leary just isn't very good.

is sh*tcanned different than being fired? They did take action by signing 2 FA qb's and also improved the coaching staff to help with our QB's. How do you know they haven't called around to see what the options are?

actually only over the Raiders.

Just because there are many WR in camp doesn't mean you have depth. We have bodies, not depth. Woods is very good, it makes sense to keep him.

Totally ridiculous statement. Just because the situation ended last year as a big problem doesn't mean it can't be fixed. Just because someone wasn't great before doesn't mean they can't get better and continually improve. Taylor was on a very good team for 4 years. Ozzie Newsome doesn't make many mistakes in judging talent. Taylor learned for four years, that used to be what many QB's needed to do before they got a chance to play. Cassel has had success when surrounded by talent, he is surrounded by a lot of talent now. EJ looks to be improving. All these QB's have a great OC to work with. I'm optimistic, no reason not to be. If the QB's looked awful this preseason I would be worried, but they have looked good, and this is with most of the talent not playing. Things change, sometimes for the better. It's not that unusual.
