Nuncha Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) No LOL here. He was signed by Buffalo days before the first game. We SMOKED them on opening day and his info was likely a large part of that victory. That close to the regular season, he was certainly privy to 'that' initial gameplan etc. Given that the victory occurred right after we signed Milloy and the fact that we have not beaten them since only supports the premise. Yea - too bad his "great information" led to what 15 consecutive losses since...... Edited September 4, 2011 by Azucho98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) Sounds like the kind of player Gailey and Nix like. I hope he can block in the pros. I'm not sure if he will replace Martin or Pianalto (who would go to PS). Just got the text from the Bills. It is official and it was Pianalto who was released. Also said 7 were signed to practice squad. Edited September 4, 2011 by CodeMonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 This is the guy who was a late addition to the Sr bowl, and when he came in he was crushing people blocking. Not much of a reciever they say. Its cool Yeatman made their team. He was at ND playing lacrosse and football but got a DUI for driving on campus roads designed only for pedestrians at like 4am. He ended up transfering to Maryland and only played lacrosse. I think he only played one fall semester of football in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Patriots lost two tight ends they were hoping to put on the practice squad. Both players went to division rivals. Fifth-round pick Lee Smith was claimed by the Bills, according to Adam Schefter. Undrafted rookie Will Yeatman was claimed by the Dolphins, according to Mike Reiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1B4IDie Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) He has great reviews as an athletic blocker. Put 25 pounds on him and we maybe we can have Jason Peters part II this time without the holds Update: I guess that wasn't an original thought. Mike Mayock appears to say the same thing when talking about Lee Smith on his 40 run: He had 800 yards receiving and 4 TDs at Marshall. This is an intriguing pickup, its like an extra, late draft pick. Edited September 4, 2011 by Why So Serious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orton's Arm Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Yea - too bad his "great information" led to what 15 consecutive losses since...... The information Lawyer Milloy provided was clearly a quick fix, not a long-term solution to the problem of how to beat the Patriots. Then again, TD never saw a quick fix he didn't like!

Bob in STL Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Yea - Just like Lawyer Milloy did..... Actually Mr. Wallbash, Milloy did hlep us with the game planning in the season opener. That was the last timne we beat the Pats BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjprime Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Actually reminds me of Ryan Neufeld, more of a blocking TE with questionable hands but still managed to catch the ball and make the team despite being consistently counted out.

Kelly the Dog Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Actually reminds me of Ryan Neufeld, more of a blocking TE with questionable hands but still managed to catch the ball and make the team despite being consistently counted out. Neufeld was like 34 other Bills TEs over the last 15 years or so. Not big, not fast, not good blocking, not good receiving. They were decent at most everything, did nothing well, and did next to nothing in the games. For a TE to be effective either he has to be a very good receiver OR a very good blocker. There are very few who can do both. But our guys never did either well. Lee Smith is huge and has potential to be a very good blocker. It remains to be seen if he can do it in the NFL on sundays but he has a chance to be a valuable cog if he can block well. I am so sick of the Ryan Neufeld Fine Stupar Royal Campbell Cieslak Euhus Shoumans we have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 AdamSchefter Adam Schefter Former Patriots TE Lee Smith was claimed on waivers by Buffalo. Former Cowboys CB Josh Thomas claimed on waivers by Carolina. Just a few quotes on him: "Smith had a strong start to camp, and was ahead of Yeatman on the depth chart for the first preseason game. But Yeatman made his move in the second preseason game when he had a chance to play with the starters and seized the chance. " - http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/new-england-patriots/post/_/id/4701750/te-smith-told-he-will-be-waived "Smith was a big, mature player who was selected for his ability to contribute right away. Instead, he struggled to get open and was knocked back blocking. Meanwhile, Yeatman, the former lacrosse player, impressed. He’s raw, but there is room to learn." -http://www.bostonherald.com/blogs/sports/rap_sheet/index.php/2011/09/03/patriots-cut-fifth-round-pick-te-lee-smith/ Smith was one of the guys that I hoped we would get so this is good. Big kid that blocked well in college and had surprising hands. Stinks for Zach thought he would make the practice squad since he made the the 53, maybe latter.

Depth at TE and LB generally makes up a percentage of Special Teams. Probably why are special teams sucked so bad last year. I think that's also why Ruvell made the roster and not Naaman, Martin has a rep as a good special teamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you think it would last forever? Once that info was out Beli changed at which point Milloy had no more info. Its not like he was a bad pick up as he played well during his time here.
