Yup. The Browns wanted him at 10, but the Jets took him at 9. Belichick traded down with SF in exchange for the 49ers 1st rounder in 96.
That pick ended up being Ray Lewis.
I'd say that turned out o.k. for the Browns/Ravens.
No it won't. He only caught 21 balls last season. He was used primarily for blocking.
The Pats have Ben Watson & Dave Thomas. Both are a bigger downfield threat then Graham.
back in the old days...blah...blah...blah. you sound like a bitter old man.
players today are stronger, faster, smarter and hit harder then 10 years ago.
defenses & offenses are far, far more complex.
and with the salary cap the talent level between teams is razor thin. the league today is FAR MORE talented & competitive then it was 10 years ago.
face it, the bills have been irrelevant for so long you've lost interest in the game. that's the REAL reason.
against the NFL's competition committee, beating the Colts (Polian) twice as well as the Rams (Mike Martz) and the Seahawks (Mike Holmgren).
Paybacks a B word.
Riiigghhht.
Just like the Bills were "cheated" out of 4 Super Bowl wins. When in reality they got their asses kicked EACH AND EVERY TIME. The Bills were an embarrasment.
Jealousy is a B word.
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...
It never ends with you clowns. Here's a revolutionary thought. You ready? The Patriots win because they are BETTER.
The Bills lose because they SUCK.
It has NOTHING, ZERO, ZIP to do with the officiating.
Got it?
Defensive backs coach Eric Mangini came up with the idea to use Troy Brown as a DB. NOT BILL BELICHICK. The idea came to him after the Patriots ran out of DBs against Carolina in the Super Bowl. Mangini thought it would be a good idea to have a player from the offense also learn the DB position, in case they were caught short due to injury. Mangini talked to Brown in the offseason and he agreed to give it a try. Brown spent most of training camp practicing with the defense. If Romeo Crennel lands a HC job, look for Mangini to replace him as Pats DC.
