Getting both of those players for a 2nd round pick I agree is down right fishy! As a Chief fan I am all for it and could not be more excited about what Pioli is doing for our team!!
We now need to focus on protecting Cassell and giving him some time!! He has way more potential that Thiggy!! I can't wait for the season to start!!!!!!!
Bring it on!!!!!!
Odds are that they don't make it to that game if he (Harrison) isn't so successful in pass rushing.
Note that That Pats O-line was fifth best in Sacks Allowed in '07.
The difference between '07 and '08 was the QB.
And the result was going from fifth best, to fifth worst.
Is it more likely that the blockers just suddenly decided to suck, or that the new QB struggled with decision making and held the ball too much?
For The Chiefs' O-line, the major difference was going to a gimmick-heavy spread offense and a forced QB change.
The Pats' O-line is far better than ours.
Vermiels recommendation was for, then Chiefs OC, Al Saubders.
He is friends with Herm. But he did not give his recommendation for Herm.
Once the decision was made, he did put the usual positive spin on it. But that is to be expected.
ya, but its not as fishy as everybody and the media think.
The 34th is practically a late 1st rounder. Another team that gives them their 1st for (example the 20th) is going to cost a lot more. And the chances of a late 1st rounder that the Pats are eyeing still being there at 34th is more likely than not being there. And they target a multitude of players. So Pats actually just saved some $$.
Noobs? this is too funny, the Pats set themselves up with some of the best picks in the draft, 2nd round picks are gold right now, their 4 year contracts turn to 6 basically with the last 2 restricted now that the way the league is headed....makes those picks valuable, very valuable. They could secure 4 starters easily...have you seen how well they draft at the end of the first? Same thing in the early 2nd...
The trade made a lot of sense, The pats had already signed Taylor, so it wasnt to clear space for his tiny contract, the Pats are looking at Peppers and to extend some of their own...
We may have 50 mil in cap room, but we handed them 18, and thats a HUGE amount if you look at where we were...just 5 years ago.
heard? I just dont like attacking other people...
See, forums are just a bunch of people stating opinions, this means you dont have to read said opinions, but it should be done in good taste...
To be heard? Then what? Be Stoked that people who dont know my name, know that I dislike your approach? please....
Stay on topic please.
I'll be honest I have not liked this trade from the get go. Aside from hiring Haley I see Pioli as a huge disappointment. Vrabel is solid but old, Cassel is a HUGE question mark. I think we would have been much better served by keeping our 2nd round pick and taking Stafford or Sanchez in the first and using the 34th overall on a LB.
