so had some more time to think about this, and I am sad to see him go but it's time really. his production dropped like crazy in a contract year, and that is scary. I'll miss him and his great numbers and plays he made for us, but it's time to get younger talent and develop it at wr. I'm so stoked for next years draft. oakland's first rounder and carolinas second... I have a feeling hoodie looked at this years draft class a few years ago and told the front office to stock pile picks this year. patriots keep getting younger and younger and faster and more athletic. they really have the potential for another dynasty late in Brady's career. watch out if they get a first round rb and wr, that could be a scary team once the d matures
This news is mildly irritating to me.
So Revis is already mouthing off again with the slouch comments. I am so going to laugh if Favre and Moss light his bitch ass up for 100+ yards and a couple of TD's.
So first, lol @ Ochocinco's pigeon having eggs. That's hilarious.
Secondly, it would be funny if Favre and Moss burned Revis. Also, lol @ Miz, haha. Have another neck injury? SO MEAN (and so true).. fuck that guy. Teddy's such a douchebag.
Honestly, Revis couldn't cover Moss against a well thrown fade route. If Moss cares enough he should just be able to jump up and go get it, granted this probably won't happen.
Plenty of great players are taken in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rounds, that's where the scouts make their money. Boldin is a good receiver, but that is just the value of draft picks these days. Now a 5th rounder for Santonio Holmes(even with the suspension) is pretty ridiculous.
Revis: "Yea randy is a slouch, everyone could tell he gave up in the 2nd half of the pats/jets game"
Wait, where was revis during the 2nd half of that game? Oh right
Sounds like Moss in the Dolphins game.
Agreed, but (and this is assuming the Pats use Tate as a new deep threat), I bet that they will go back to their pre-Moss days of short passes. Everyone seems to forget they made a killing by having an extremely accurate and strong armed QB make 5-10 yard pass plays, no one could stop it when they did not have a viable deep threat. It got much harder on teams when they did, but it also made Brady more vulnerable to getting hit. So, with how they are using their TE's this year, along with Welker, Edelman, and Tate, the safe bet is that they are moving the offense away from the deep pass and back to short to mid range stuff. Tate will be used as a mid to deep threat (probably along with Hernandez, who shows the value of a 4th round pick) to keep defenses honest, but Brady is most comfortable spreading the ball around.
And, lol on Revis talking shit on Moss. Really, that game is a win-win for me. If Moss makes Revis eat his words (and, thus, tear his hamstring), that's great for shutting that assclown up. If Revis outplays Moss and gets an INT or 3, then making Farve want to go back to the farm is always good. I would not have watched this game before (despise both teams), but now it is just comedy.
Heh.. chatter/rumors out today claim that Moss was traded because the coaching staff was worried he would become a poison pill among the younger players in the clubhouse. Apparently his topics of conversation with the coaches were 1) He wanted job security 2) He wanted "respect" 3) He wanted to be THE EPICENTER of the offense.
so what are the patriots going to do now that they don't have a receiver that HAS to be double teamed all the time?
