  • Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

    If Wes Welker was going to pick a game to suck in, I guess yesterday was a good day for it, man did he suck. Good the Law Firm and Woodhead were ready to go
    I think saying Wes "sucked" in yesterday's game is a bit harsh. Not his best game ever, but sucked? C'mon man. Look at the game stats....he was 3 for 6/19. Gronk had the two td's but was the leading receiver with 54 yards. None of the Pats receiving corps lit it up yesterday because the Pats ran the ball so much.

      He dropped 3 gimmes, all for 1st downs. Maybe its because he's normally so money that I'm not used to seeing him drop those kinds of passes

        Uncharacteristic drops, yes, and he was not happy with himself but not game changers either. I think he has a big game next week against the fish. You are right when you say Wes has been money since he arrived in New England. One of TB's favorite targets for sure.

          Reiss/ESPN intern Mike Rodak put the following list together:
          One of the unique aspects of the Patriots' success this season is the number of players contributing who entered the league as free agents. Counting players on season-ending injured reserve, the Patriots have 21 players in that category.

          The breakdown (* player on injured reserve):

          First round (8)
          OL Logan Mankins
          LB Jerod Mayo
          CB Devin McCourty
          S Brandon Meriweather
          RB Fred Taylor
          DL Gerard Warren
          DL Ty Warren*
          DL Vince Wilfork

          Second round (11)
          DL Ron Brace
          WR Deion Branch
          CB Darius Butler
          S Patrick Chung
          TE Alge Crumpler
          OLB Jermaine Cunningham
          RB Kevin Faulk*
          TE Rob Gronkowski
          OL Matt Light
          LB Brandon Spikes
          OL Sebastian Vollmer

          Third round (3)
          OL Nick Kaczur*
          WR Taylor Price
          WR Brandon Tate

          Fourth round (5)
          K Stephen Gostkowski*
          TE Aaron Hernandez
          OL Rich Ohrnberger
          S James Sanders
          CB Jonathan Wilhite*

          Fifth round (6)
          OL Dan Koppen
          P Zoltan Mesko
          RB Sammy Morris
          OLB Rob Ninkovich
          OL Quinn Ojinnaka
          WR Matthew Slater

          Sixth round (4)
          QB Tom Brady
          RB Thomas Clayton
          DE Eric Moore
          DL Myron Pryor

          Seventh round (8)
          OLB Tully Banta-Cain
          S Josh Barrett*
          DL Landon Cohen
          DL Brandon Deaderick
          WR Julian Edelman
          S Jarrad Page
          DL Darryl Richard*
          DL Kade Weston*

          Undrafted (21)
          CB Kyle Arrington
          CB Leigh Bodden*
          S Sergio Brown
          CB Tony Carter
          OL Dan Connolly
          LB Dane Fletcher
          K Shayne Graham
          RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis
          LB Gary Guyton
          QB Brian Hoyer
          LS Matt Katula
          OL Mark LeVoir
          S Bret Lockett*
          DL Kyle Love
          S Brandon McGowan*
          OL Stephen Neal*
          WR Wes Welker
          OL Ryan Wendell
          LB Tracy White
          RB Danny Woodhead
          DL Mike Wright
          Along these lines, NE has the first pick in the second round on the Friday night of the draft, with Denver and Cincinnati's wins clinching that spot for the Pats. That trade with Carolina worked out perfectly. Oakland will be a middle-of-the-round first-rounder, and the Moss trade will bring a top-eight third-rounder if Minny loses out.

            This should probably be filed under "let's not get ahead of ourselves," but this hadn't occurred to me and it's interesting (from Mike Reiss's mailbag):

            Q. If we end up with both the 32nd pick in the draft (either by winning the Super Bowl or by trading down) and the 33rd pick (from Carolina) could we formally "pass" on our 32nd pick to end the first day of the draft, thereby moving both picks to be the first two of the second day (in hopes of increasing the trade value of the 32nd pick?) -- Larry (Dallas)

            A. I don't see any reason why that couldn't happen, Larry. Interesting thought.

                Ron Brace heading to IR Monday. Spikes, back from his suspension, will take his place on the 53-man roster. This marks Brace's second season and he has not produced much, considering he was taken with the 40th pick in the draft.

                  Nice to see Hoyer move the team. Quite a throw and catch

                      Stupid Boston.com won't update on my Blackberry. It still says 38-0 with 14:33 in the 4th. Final score?

                          A) because I really only want/need the Pats score, and

                          B) this is my work Blackberry so I don't think I should be loading this up with personal apps. It's bad enough I use it to come here.

                                Unless the Jets win, they are a 6, so wouldnt New England play the lowest seed remaining?
