Okay…couple things here :

Steelfan6 or whatever…dude, your team cannot beat ours. Brady turns your defense to swiss cheese more often times than not. Had the Pats beaten the Jets, they would have dismantled the Steelers in the AFC Championship. The Pats have proven to be a bad match up for the Steelers for one reason or another. Not sure they would have won the SB though against that Packers team…they were damn good.

Billsfan1 – I hope you were being sarcastic. I don’t think your team has beaten ours since the first game in 2003. Yup – you got us right where you want us.

As for the TH thing…could be interesting, but I’m starting to grow weary of these retreads. I’d rather give some cash to Gerard Warren who last year proved he could be an effective player in our system. AH is worth the fifth round pick two years from now…if he wants to play, he can be dominant. I don’t know about TH though…he couldn’t do much in the lower powered NFC North.

High priced vets with injury issues are coming to the Pats. This isnt the Patriot way, because they usually find players from small programs (Fresno St.), etc.

Wrong. That is exactly the “Patriot Way”. Fred Taylor is but one example.

In the minds of most NFL fans, the “Patriot Way” will always be equated with “Spygate”. History will always remember it as such, outside of the delusional New England bubble.

Don’t remember the Pats being this active in FA. Are they getting a little desperate? Is the age of their team getting to the point where a window is closing? Just wondering.

Thing is the Pats have been out-physicaled up front on both sides of the ball in their past three playoff losses. So I see the thinking with getting the two giant OL in the draft and now supersizing the DL.

LOLOLOL the Pats are the new Bengals. Picking up worn out garbage and waiting for them to get arrested. What a pathetic football organization. Continue to live in the Steelers shadow everyone.

————————————————–

Seriously? This coming from a fan that:

1. Had their star WR arrested for DUI
2. Jerome Harrison arrested for domestic disturbance and throwing team mates under the bus…oh wait that was misquoted…
3. The Rothlesburger fiasco

Tommie Harris, Albert Haynesworth and Vince Wolfolk on your defensive line – can you say bull rush?

Haynesworth and Harris are both head cases. Let me know how that one works out NE…and BTW good luck warden.

Thought the Patriots need a linebacker! If so which ones would br a good fit?

“dude was the best DL back in his prime. Remember 06? If only he could stay healthy”

It’s not just health. The bears took him out of their starting lineup because he became a headcase who wasn’t always giving the effort.

Good luck Tommie, as a bears fan I wish you the best of luck with your new team. Maybe a fresh start is what the doctor ordered.

According to my sources the Pats are moving to the 5-2 this season. Belichick says to counter the Jet’s already stout OL, he’s looking to provide something new to deal with in this shortened off season.

I doubt that BB will abandoned the 3-4 with VW on the team..Just wants the right depth to play 4-3 when those old LBs are getting ran on.

They could let wilfork play nose, harris and haynesworth play the ends… that would free up all the linebackers for sure. Ohh wait… they don’t have any linebackers except Mayo.

Couldn’t Harris more to DE in 3-4 ???

Or even more likely since he won’t cost alot couldn’t he be used in nickel and dime packages ??

What are the Pats going to do with all of these elite DTs?You cant play all of them on the field @ once.

Ever hear of injuries?

Ever hear of Haynesworth sucking because he’s a fat slob?

Whoop-De-Doo…. Even with Haynesworth and Harris..they still aint got NOTHIN on the early 2000s when Seymour, Wilfork, McGinest, Bruschi, and nem held it down on D in New England, baby.

Everyone knows you can’t fit 4 on a line when two of those guys are Haynesworth and Wilfork.

By: irishfan109

irishfan109 — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 06:36:46 +0000

I’ll go ahead and make the third comment about this but what position would he play?

Haynesworth and Wilfork are the superior DT’s and I don’t think Harris can play DE? Unless they do a 3-man DT rotation, and even then, signing Harris may not make a lot of sense because he won’t be that cheap.

Any ideas on this?

By: goodell2hell

goodell2hell — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 06:28:10 +0000

@chrishenry15

Probably beause Haynesworth is known for getting hurt and im sure they’ll have injuries in camp. Those Patriots sure know how to address key areas of their team thru free agency unlike my Broncos who haven’t signed didly squat for the most glaring need on their team.

By: robolundgren

robolundgren — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 06:09:37 +0000

“Wtf why do they need all these DT’s? Haynesworth and Wilfork is good enough.”

Heaven forbid a team want to have a nice third to rotate with two really big guys, one with a massive lazy streak.

Tommie will show them flashes of what could be, then resort to his old ways. his maturity level doesn’t help him and he plays like he’s afraid to go full out. To land a spot he’ll show up, but once he gets signed watch him regress back to his old ways. I’m sure they’ll offer him an incentive laden contract for low guaranteed dough if he fails to meet expectations. he’s a funny dude and seems like a nice guy but jokes wont get you a ring, i hope it works out for him though. PROVE ME WRONG TOMMIE!!!

since haynesworth needs to be spelled often, you need at least 3 good DT’s to play a 4-3 with haynesworth
