Comments on: Belichick says Haynesworth’s benching was “rotation-related” http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/11/07/haynesworth-benched-belichick-says-it-was-rotational/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Tue, 21 May 2013 21:58:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: blowtorch1964 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/11/07/haynesworth-benched-belichick-says-it-was-rotational/#comment-1375093 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 21:26:32 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=165546#comment-1375093 Every pass to #85 on Sunday was completely un-catchable. He is also stooopid, so he needs extra help learning the offense. Something the Pat’s coaching staff should get busy on since they have no other deep threat, and this hurts their offense.

Haynesworth is another story, he is fat and lazy.

I doubt that anyone watching the NFL, other than Belichick, would think that either Haynesworthless or Ochostinko still had the talent, or more importantly, the desire, to continue playing. Other than to get paid. Did the Patriots not pay attention to what happened to Albert in Washington? He gets huge money and quits on the ‘Skins. Ocho is just a pain in the butt. Pats got what they deserved.

He is a rotation guy that has huge upside but he was at least a fill in while Deadrick, Brace were on PuP.

Pats threw out Bodden who was making more money and a bigger bust after signing a $22m contract and till on the books for $4m in 2011

Sorry, but didn’t the “Sorry” Patriots defense hold the Giants to 0 points at halftime? Didn’t Brady go like 4 straight drives with a 3 and out??

At some point the QB has to sustain some drives to give the Defense a break. His defense played well enough to win… they gave Brady 2 short fields off of turnovers, but none of that will get mentioned because then the fault might shift to Brady… and we all know he’s perfect and if they lose, it’s can’t be his fault…
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Trust me, 90% of the Pats fans I know blame the offense and TB about 60-100% for the loss on Sunday. We know the D is average at best and think they played well enough to win. TB was inaccurate and made some passes you don’t expect to see from veteran QBs. The past 2 losses are squarely on the offense. That’s the difference between us and most Colts fans. We can give blame to the”all everything” QB when he plays poorly even though the defense isn’t that good. ;)

The Pat’s are one Tom Brady injury away from being the Colts

The Pats can actually run the ball and stop the run. They just can’t pass outside of the numbers and stop almost ANY pass anywhere! Their Special Teams aren’t all that good either.

I don’t know why GMs just don’t read the local papers of free agents they are about to trade for. If the Redskins had, they won’t have given Fat Al so much money. And if the Pats had done the same, he would be out of the league by now (as he should be). Shocked that Haynesworth blew an assignment. Hey at least he didn’t roll around on the floor like he did in DC.

True, they got abused in their playoff loss, but for the second half of the regular season last year, they were phenomenal. My take is that Belichick panicked following the playoff loss and decided to make a ton of drastic and unnecessary changes and now it is biting him and the team in the butt.

My prediction is they don’t get things figured out in time to win the division but perhaps the Patriots will win a wildcard spot. I’m just not sure about this team.

Hmmm…is that the same Merryweather that was benched soon after being picked up by the Bears.

Is it safe yet for skins fans to say I told you so?

I respect Bill, but nothing was going to change Al. Not the patriot way, not a hall of fame coach, not an incentive based contract. He already got paid. Dude simply doesn’t really care about being a football player.

Do us all a favor and go race speed boats and chase white women Al.

Thats gonna be they lose 3 in a row and first place. The pats are nowhere near as good this year as they have been in recent years. Brady had a horrible game yesterday and by his standard hasnt had a good last few weeks. The cowboys should have beat them the steelers did beat them bad and the giants beat them in their house without their best rb and wr. This week the jets are taking them out at home and taking first place. The jets are gonna win this division because they are the only team in it that knows what defense is and how to play it. Numbers wise offensivly they are terrible. But they have a ton of talent to on offense and each week its been clicking more and more and getting better. Cant wait for sun night j-e-t-s jets jets jets!!!!! Thumbs down it go for it.

He should have never been offered a job from any team in the league after the travesty of quitting on a NFL team. Did you honestly think he would change. Shame on the Pats front office for thinking that. I am glad to see Andre Carter having a good season with the Pats. He is a stand up player, and always busted his tail day in day out to be the player his is. Great locker room leader.

Oh wait, he said that in Washington as well, up until they decided to do something he didn’t like.

He just doesn’t understand what it takes to truly win in a team sport.

Chad – I think people might be right that he is too used to be able to do whatever he wants to do.

- convince coach I’m sincere: check
- avoid taking real conditioning test – check
- make it through preseason only playing for one series – check
- do the absolute minimum to keep the checks rolling in – check
- avoid playing the first 4 games except in the most extreme circumstances – check
- keep on loafing until I’m benched so I can keep getting paid without working – check

next he’ll be blaming BB for his system not being what Al was promised….

How about some positive coverage of some FA pickups who worked out, like Shaun Ellis from the Jets? They got him for only $5 million, and he already has 7 tackles this year.

The holding calls he draws from opposing offensive linemen are every bit as good as a sack. That being said the arguement he got in to with Pepper Johnson was minor…but if it got out of hand my money would have been on Pepper!

I’m sure you were having a great time when it was the Jets on an 0-3 streak and all the foot jokes.

He also didn’t create any seperation at all. Everyone always says that Pats system makes players look better than they are , what does that say for Ocho. I’d like to see this guy do good. He seems like a good guy. He sometimes creates distractions with twitter and stuff like that but not T.O like. Someone mentioned he’d be a number1 somewhere, but that doesn’t seem likely.
