Hey, I hope you think the Pat's are losers; all the more wins for me. They got way better this off-season; Fred Taylor, Joey Galloway, Derrick Burgess, plus the amazing rookie Darius Butler. They won't win any less than 12 games this season, that's a fact, and I am really starting to love that offense again!.
Aww... c'mon, Ricky! FRED TAYLOR??? Last year's stats.. RB Played in 13 games.
Rushing - 143 attempts - 556 yards - ONE TD.
Receiving - 16 receptions - 98 yards - ZERO TD's.
Approximate Value (16 being the highest) 4.
I liked him early on in his career (AND he shares my name), but he's a has been (in football terms) now.
JOEY GALLOWAY???? Last year's stats... REC Played in 9 games.
Receiving - 13 receptions for 138 yards - ZERO TD's.
Approximate Value 1.:eek1:
I also liked him (former Dallas Cowboy)... but he's also a has been (in football terms).
DERRICK BURGESS - Who is this guy??? Only had 2 "banner" years in 2005 & 2006 with NICE sack numbers (16 & 11 respectively). Last year's stats... DE -LB Played in 10 games.
Sacks - 3.5. Passes defended - 2. Forced fumbles - 1. Tackles 16. Assists - 8.
Approximate Value 4. :eek1:
Like I said before... Who IS this guy???
Darius Butler - ROOKIE Cornerback... really? Last cornerback that could have a major impact on the game retired in Deion Sanders... The stuff I've read says that Darius will likely be a BACK-UP this year.
I know the Pats have a good coach... but c'mon man. You're gonna have to do better than THESE players to convince me that they'll win "any less than 12 games" this season.
YES, they still have Randy Moss (at least last I heard). AV - 11.
YES, they still have Tom Brady - BUT he played only 1 game last year. No AV for him because he was hurt.
YES, they did get Greg Lewis - but there are some questions about him. AV given 2!!!
YES, they still have Wes Welker - who IMHO is the BEST receiver they've got and most versatile. AV - 13
They ARE favored to win their division and the AFC... But we've seen BETTER Pat teams than this one and I think the Colts, Steelers, and possibly Dolphins have a GREAT shot at spoiling things for them.
Good smack talk though... LOL. And it was fun looking up these guys!
