A few questions:

1. Chance Brady and the Pats get # 7? Greater than 50% less than 50%
Greater than 50%

2. Will Gronk be back?
Hmm...anyone's guess at this point. 51%?

3. Positions of need draft and FA?
After Sunday I hate to say defense...but... DE, LB, TE, WR.

4. Who if anybody gets the tag?
Dorsett

5. Does Scar stay on?
Yes, at least 1 more year.

6. Who was you MVP for the season?
Either Scar or Flores.
Hightower played very well, Brown played very well.
I'd say Gilmore did a great job too. Gilmore.

7. Which FA players would you like the Pats to target?
Flowers. Pay him. Brown needs to be paid too, reasonably any way. Patterson, Dorsett, Gostkowski should all get incentive based offers. Is Ryan a FA too?
Bunch of others should be hitting the streets.


4. Kidding, Flowers if anyone.

 

[Yankee Traveler]

1. > 50%


"We'll be back too."

 

[Shoeshine Boy]

1. Less than 50%, if you look at it logically...the Pats against the field is always going to be less than 50%

2. My gut says no.

3. Depends somewhat on how they manage their top heavy cap situation and whether they use a tag on Flowers or T. Brown. But I'd say WR, DT, and TE are the clear top needs either way.

4. Probably nobody, but Flowers, Brown, and even Gostkowski are all possibilities.

5. Yes, he's already said he's coming back.

6. Brady

7. Tyrell Williams, Maurice Harris, Jesse James

 

[Shoeshine Boy]

7a John Simon, Albert McClellan, Phillip Dorsett, Cordarrelle Patterson, Jeremy HIll, LaAdrian Waddle, Ramon Humber, Ryan Allen

1. Chance Brady and the Pats get # 7? Greater than 50% less than 50%
I think the haters compel Brady to try harder every year. Right now, I'd say 70:30

2. Will Gronk be back?
After the game Sunday, I think Gronk will sit with BB and listen carefully to what is offered. I think he'll tell the Pats what he wants and they'll talk again. If the patriotscan be reasonable I think Gronk stays as long bas Brady as long as doesn't get seriously hurt.

3. Positions of need draft and FA?
The Pats will be picking #32. Draft a couple of stud DTs. Brown and Shelton will be gone for $$

They also will have the following returning from the IR:
JaWhaun Bentley LB
Christian Sam LB
Isiah Wynn OT
Jeremy Hill RB
Jacob Hollister TE
Braxton Berrios WR
Eric Rowe CB
Ryan Izzo LB/ST
Brian Shwenke C/OG
Ulrick John OG/OT

4. Who if anybody gets the tag?
Tre Flowers. If he signs Trent Brown if the tag price isn't over $10M

5. Does Scar stay on?
Scar was the MVP doing what he did. Kraft and BB will be on their knees begging his to stay and he will.

6. Who was you MVP for the season?
Co-MVPs......Dante Scarneccia and Brin Flores

7. Which FA players would you like the Pats to target?
Tyrell Williams WR LAC, Bryce Callahan CB CHI, Clay Matthews OLB/DE GB,

8. Guys to Resign so we don't6 need to sign any FA:
Trent Brown, Tre Flowers, Coradelle Patterson,

1. Chance Brady and the Pats get # 7? Greater than 50% less than 50%
Greater.

2. Will Gronk be back?
For his sake I hope not. But something tells me yes.

3. Positions of need draft and FA?
If the MCourtey's retire, safety.

4. Who if anybody gets the tag?
Trey Flowers

5. Does Scar stay on?
Please God, yes. Gut says yes.

6. Who was you MVP for the season?
Sony Michel

7. Which FA players would you like the Pats to target?
I think Trey Flowers is a free agent? Him.

^This
I forgot about Bentley. Damn NE is looking good if he, Wynn and a couple others return healthy.

Resign Flowers, Brown and Ski in that order. Patterson, meh? He was decent on KRs and jet sweeps so he'd have to come on the cheap IMO.

4. Don't tag

5. Bite your tongue!

6. Michel?

7. Hoestly don't know - yet.....

 

[nefansince75]

MVP is Brady. It's always Brady. It's always been Brady.

The question is really who delivered more than we expected and was a major contributor.

We're so used to what Brady contributes we see it less.

 

[Shoeshine Boy]

The guy who delivered more than we expected = Jason McCourty, easily. Dude looked like hot garbage in preseason and came back to play very well most of the season and then made the play of the year in the SB.

 

[Shoeshine Boy]

Ryan Izzo LB/ST

Ryan Izzo is a TE. We're not getting Larry Izzo back.

 

[BigKen]

Ryan Izzo is a TE. We're not getting Larry Izzo back.

I know he plays on ST also. After all, his dad was one of the best ever.

As far the LB goes, I had to have been looking at Christian Sam when I wrote it down. Izzo was under Sam on the list I got the info from.

Had eye surgery two weeks ago and can't get a new prescription for 2 more. I only have one lens in my glasses and it kills my reading.. Only time it shows is in the sun when it transitions to dark gray.

 

[Shoeshine Boy]

Ryan Izzo is not Larry’s son

A few questions:

1. Chance Brady and the Pats get # 7? Greater than 50% less than 50%
Gonna go less than for a few reasons. The Pats have been 3 times back to back and teams in the AFC are catching up. I think the team due to cap issues and age and injury lose some key players.

2. Will Gronk be back?
No I think it's time his body is badly beaten he needs to quit now while he still has a chance to walk.

3. Positions of need draft and FA?

TE, WR, DT, S/CB

4. Who if anybody gets the tag?
No tag Pats will do what they do, go field offers hit us back and we'll talk

5. Does Scar stay on?
Yes

6. Who was you MVP for the season?
Gronk b/c when he could no longer run well he accepted and excelled at his role as a third tackle, ultimate team effort.

7. Which FA players would you like the Pats to target?
Need to research

He read that play and was on Cooks like a sidewinder.
Play of the year is right.

I agree. He looked terrible early on in the season but he made the defensive play of the SB.

Willie McGinest doesn’t see Trey Flowers among the top pass rushers worth pursuing this offseason

Not sure I agree with Willie on this one? Is he a tad jealous or there is nothing to talk about besides steam and creams?

Sacks are great but they are not the be-all-end-all. Pressure can be just as important. Also how much of it is scheme, where Trey doesn't actually rush the QB but contains or drops in coverage. If it costs NE only about $12M a year they need to lock him up for 5 years now.

I have been happy with Flowers but is he going to get elite money? I suspect too big a price tag.
Seems like a lot of good defensive lineman in this draft and we have 12 picks?
I'd rather keep Brown if we can get a friendly deal. What does he need all that money for?
He damn sure gets enough to eat!!!!!
