Comments on: Faulk likely to go out on rough note http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/02/06/faulk-likely-to-go-out-on-rough-note/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Tue, 21 May 2013 21:58:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: patsfiend http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/02/06/faulk-likely-to-go-out-on-rough-note/#comment-1565746 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 17:27:18 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=227132#comment-1565746 I was surprised they even kept him on the roster this year. Along with Troy Brown, one of the most clutch and versatile Pats over this run. How many 3rd down catches has this guy made in big games?

I would have liked to see him in there on that last drive (or the one before), but he’s probably pretty rusty, having not played.

Great career, and good luck Kevin!

I think he did the same with Troy Brown in 07. I think like with Faulk he was on the roster more for showing the young/new to the Pats guys how to be a pro than he was for being able to play much. Just an emergency fill in type guy they didn’t have to show everything to.

The Ridley thing is a mystery, quite frankly other than he has been turning the ball over a couple times. I expect Ridley & Vereen to be their bellcows next year.

Why don’t you tell us how you feel about that Poser

Clearly you come from where you don’t know any better

If I were a Patriots fan, this would bother me.

The thing is you are NOT a Pats fan so stop telling us how we should feel

Faulk was a great player but only played in 2 games this year. You would know this if you watched the Patriots, which you clearly don’t

Why waster a spot in the Super Bowl for someone who will not play?
======================

I don’t know, why don’t you ask Bill Bellichik who wasted a roster spot on Stevan Ridley, who did not play?

And by the way, since you obviously are too dense to grasp it, I never told you how YOU should feel. I stated how I would feel.

That is a rough note for any player with pride

Always thought he and Troy Brown should be more highly regarded for their contributions to those championships. If only he didn’t get caught smoking weed that time…..but any how, what a fantastic career he should be proud of it…

But that was back when the Pats knew what defense was called.

He’s hardly going out on a ‘rough note’

How much of an upgrade is Stevan Ridley (who didn’t even get into the game) that Belichick felt like he had to deactivate a guy who has done so much for the franchise and that he knew full well was most likely going to retire?

I get that football is a business and no man is bigger than the team. But geez.

A terrific leader and always 100% about the team. Unfortunately for him, it became apparent that he had lost about two steps after that ACL surgery.

When one of your best big game players is too old to play in the Super Bowl… you know it’s time to retire.

You are a true Patriot and we’ll miss you. Maybe someday you take over for Ivan Fears as RB coach.
