3 sacks each per year? ;)

Any help at this point is fine by me. Bring in a guy or 3 and make someone win the position. Hopefully it's Crable, regardless of who NE brings in to compete. At least we get the best available option coming out of camp & preseason.

That and Chad Jackson is just misunderstood.

lol, I never said he was or that Moss wasn't, just that Jackson had potential and Moss was the proven vet who was arguably washed up.

I could see the patriots being successful (or unsuccessful) either way, trading for Burgess or sticking with younger guys.

Yeah, I was just playing along. I get the feeling BB was being honest about the lack of height in the draft. I think Burgess being smaller is a non-issue b/c he's already proven he can do it at that size. A cagey vet always trumps a young guy at the LB position for Bill.

Thanks for the vote in JBond's poll. Personally, I think your name should have been up there instead of mine.

BB loves his veteran LB's thats for sure. It's about the only thing that has remained consistent during his tenure here, that and 1st round DL are always acceptable.

Np for the vote, I like reading your posts.
