Punching Bag Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001106221/article/patriots-matthew-slater-agree-to-twoyear-extension Quote Slater, who's long worked exclusively on special teams, recorded 10 tackles and recovered a fumble this past season en route to making his eighth Pro Bowl team. That broke Steve Tasker's record for most special teams nods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomark Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Hey are going to need great special teams in New England because they will be punting a lot more this year...... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoPoy88 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Good for him. Not sure that particular transaction needs its own thread on this board but you do you. p.s. There’s a big pinned thread dealing with transactions and free agency right at the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Some on here think Tasker is HOF worthy. I do not. Does that mean Slater is now too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Can we all remember this when the final 53 is being decides please? Because every year we have folks moaning that their favourite pet project back of the roster player is going to be cut in favour of "some guy who plays special teams." The kicking game matters and no team invests more energy and resource into it than New England. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Can’t stand NE******, but man do I love Matthew Slater’s game. I know it’s tantamount to heresy ‘round these parts, but he’s probably a better pure ST ace than Tasker. Tasker was a much better WR though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hatred for NE clouds my opinion on every player on their squad. Sorry, not sorry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Damn I wanted us to sign Clowney and Slater. Well we lost out on one of all time great ST players. Let's take Shaq's $, add more $, sign Clowney, pair him with Hughes, draft WR with our 1st pick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
