Belicheat's arrogance may come back to bite him--why he wouldn't bring a vet in to backup JG for the first 4 weeks is beyond me. This was fairly predictable as a possibility.
Not quite true--didn't he have like 3 long bomb TD's in limited action his rookie year? Since then, it's been all down hill, however, which his early flashes made all the more frustrating
I believe so--I recall seeing a quote from or about Shaq saying he was going to be getting a lot of mental reps while out, implying he'll be there watching practices.
Logan Paulsen, Washington's former starting TE a few years back, just got released. Not much of a pass catcher, but my be an upgrade over the backup dreck we have now.
On Lawson, they may be just trying to save $ and not have to fully guarantee his deal--they may have told him "go shop yourself and come back to let us match if we think it's reasonable". A gamble, but one teams sometimes take.
Then you shouldn't read a Pats* fan message board--I'd bet there are some of those jackholes who are sad to read he's doing well.
Very glad to read he's doing well.
This is clearly the Pegulas saying "enough with this ****--we won't be made the laughing stocks of the the League." No matter how they dress it up, this was not a football decision.
