Totally agree....amongst all the upheaval of the roster we already have, it would be nice to see a couple of players retained!

1. For the record, I think Zereoue is a decent RB but nothing special. I would not sign him for any significant money.

2. I don't want to think about what kind of pick you might get from NE for Canidate. Maybe they'll give up their 11th round pick - - in a draft that lasts only seven rounds. :thumb:

3. I'm not so sure that "continuity" is all that important when you are coming off a 5-11 season even if you keep the same coaching staff. But when you come off 5-11 and bring in an entierely new staff, you need to take that opportunity to clean house because for whatever the reasons, the players on the team for the last two years did ... not ... get ... the ... job ... done!

Zero would be a luxury we don't need and can't afford. We still likely need to replace Trotter (cap casualty?) with Barrow and/or Short and probably sign another DE and CB (see the Butler thread). Zero would expect a decent package, and considering Betts and Cartwright could easily spell Portis (and Sultan may well belong in that group too), he'd probably be too cap expensive.

We need to concentrate on needs rather than likes...

Rock didn't even get to start in college. I love the guy, but I don't see him as a feature back and he let us down in some crucial areas last year. I say get rid of all but Rock, Johnson and sultan. Betts will forever be hurt.

Betts won't forever be hurt. Sometimes guys just have some bad luck. He was a 2nd round pick, and I think he has quite a bit of talent. I doubt he's costing us that much against the cap, so why not keep him and let him prove himself. He has shown flashes at times, so it may be worth it.

AnonEmouse · 03-12-2004, 08:33 AM

Yep and remember it was a broken bone not a muscle/ligament/joint problem. Breaks are flukes and not a sign of an injury prone player. Betts should be back fully fit for camp - then we'll see what talent we have in the backfield.

betts will probably miss the whole season with an infected nasal hair or something.
keep cartwright,johnson,and sultan.cut the rest and sign AZ cheap.

Unknown Fact: Amos Zereoue is the strongest guy in the NFL. On a good day they say he can squat 720 LBs.

how much can he squat on a bad day?

that was too good to pass up my friend.

i think canidate would be a perfect fit in new england.send him there for a pick and
send betts to somebody anybody.

Daseal · 03-15-2004, 05:56 PM

It seems like any RB is a perfect fit for NE =p
