I'm happy with are pick ups so far. If somehow we get Quinn and Dlemas that would be great though if Delmas stays healthy

thank god amendola is out of the NFC west. motherfucker made carlos rogers his whipping boy!
although so did a lot of people!

He missed more games last year than Welker has missed since 2005. I'm sure he'll get a 16 game season in one of those years, but look at Laurent Robinson? Out of the league with those same concussion issues he had in STL. DX will eventually have his knees go again
There isn't a history of injured guys leaving STL and getting healthy. It's healthy guys going to STL and getting hurt

Why does it have to be one or the other? Compromise, guys.

lol I knew when Amedola tore up the 9ers in San Fran he would be a Patriot.

So now we have Lloyd, Amendola and McDaniels.
OMG WE'RE TURNING INTO THE RAMS!

No, one who plays for Bill likes him it is pretty well known.
He'll be standing outside his house at 04:00

How old is Amendolar?

He will love him those 5 games per season that he's actually on the field.
Deep down he's always been a Pats fan, now he can embrace it.

26! if he stays healthy, he can be more effective than welker
Because by the time Amendola completes his 5 year contract, he'll be as old as Welker is now. They're building for both the present and the future.

Rams are losing their top two receivers in receptions and yards from an already stagnant offense, as well as our leading rusher. Regardless of our draft I see us getting worse next year, rather than better. 4-12 or 5-11
It's a big if, 1 full season out of 4. At least he's relatively cheap.

If the Pats can draft a WR like DeAndre Hopkins they will have a killer offense.
They're in win now mode and Amendola can't stay healthy. Great deal.
Belichick was trying to phase Welker out of the offense with Edelman earlier last season. I still want a legit number one receiver for the Pats, but I would take defensive upgrades over that right now.

Maybe they can wrap him up in bubble wrap for the regular season, sneak into the post season and hope he stays healthy for those 4 games.

CBs gotta start going soon, right?

Whew, Im glad the Colts didn't sign Avril. If they did, it would be for pretty good money, and I don't think he deserves the money that he probably ended up getting from Seattle.
Ricky Jean-Francois leaving Philly, now on his way to Indy. This type of signing is the one I hope Grigson and Co. stay with. Only big time names I'd be interested in if the price is right (and I can think of without looking at the list) is Reed, Landry, or Jennings. Reed and Jennings are not long term solutions, but I would be fine with them as short term solutions as we fix other parts of the boat.

i think his usage rate will be much lower than it was in st louis, so there will be less of a chance to get hurt
That's a good sign for the Pats I think. Could mean the price tag on these corners are going down. I just hope they resign Talib. He isn't a shut down corner, but the Pats secondary really improved with him on the field.

gabe carimi is trash too
His stats are the pretty much the same from 2011 to 2012. Doesn't seem like much of a phase out.
2011
NE
GP:16
Receptions: 122
Targets: 172
Yards: 1,569
TD: 9
2012

Receptions: 118
Targets: 174
Yards: 1,354
TD: 6
Because everyone got hurt. They reduced his reps significantly, but had to put him back on the field after injuries, like Edelman's. And the difference was very much noticeable.
I'm not gonna be content with Amendola. No matter how good he'll be, I'll remain a bitter old man.
He is white and around the same height.
Most Boston can't read anyway so they probably won't even notice.
Because Edelman played 9 games. They were definitely thinking about moving on from Welker. He wasn't even starting initially. A ton of bad blood between the 2 sides. Before he got franchised last year they offered him 2/18 guaranteed and he said no.

Even if he does half of what Welker did it will still be good.
Blackace
if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
Why do we need him? I don't get it
Also, no more cap room for our future.
a great pass rush will make the secondary ruthless..

McDaniels and Amendola were together for all of like one half of one game.
Replacing Welker with Amendola is a really poor move.
Every move doesn' have the upside of Garrard over Sanchez. It is what it is.
