I am sure Romeo Crennel wanted Wilfork badly in his defense- the guys in Houston weren't cutting it at all when I was watching.

he can still play at an elite level. hes definitely not as nimble as he was pre-achilles, but he showed he still has some tacklin' fuel in that 50 gallon tank.

Yeah, he's fine as a 2-gapper NT with Romeo, I'd think.

Good luck to Big Vince. We'll see you when you get back in a couple of years and I'll enjoy watching you being inducted into the Patriots HOF and with a some good health and good fortune maybe even the NFL HOF.

Salut

In that division, yes.

Let's face it, the Pats interior run defense stats were awful last year and it was not likely that NE was going to pay him the remainder of his contract to keep that going.

I hope he comes back to get involved in the organization when he is done playing.
