NFL.com Peppers/Patriots *possible* update

A second.......plus we don't have to pay 16.5 million dollars.

All of a sudden, we'd have a pooLOAD of money to spend.

Resign Kyle? No problem

Resign Goings? No problem

Sign Torry Holt? No problem

Sign all of our draft picks, including a new 2nd? No problem

...and for the record, put me down as the forum's NUMBER ONE fan of second round draft picks. I say they are generally the best deals for the money. You're still getting a top notch draftee, but at an exponentially lower salary than a first rounder.

So all those people (me included) that were saying that the Patriots sold Cassel and Vrabel too cheap to the Chiefs were really talking about the Panthers because the guy that wrote that article made it sound like the deal for Peppers has been in the works since before that trade was made.

I'm cool with it though... that 34th pick is still a high pick and we lose Pep's huge salary and can (hopefully) get a good player for a much lower salary than a first rounder.

    • his height, size and arm will forever cause problems and limitations...that is what it is.  I think to a degree, the law of averages is just coming into play a bit with him.  So as he plays more and more, you just flat out get the decent days mixed in too.  Which is just going to happen. 
    • Good point. He's definitely better in 10-15 yards. I think that's his biggest improvement. But he wasn't 3-10 +15, he was 3-7, with at least one drop (minor but still). And with multiple passes at 14 yards completed. This passing chart doesn't look like at By one, lol. He threw more "deep" passes than Mahomes (NOT comparing him to Mahomes in a skill way lol), or at least more beyind 10 yards.
    • Karlaftis and Danna have been pretty inconsistent so teams have been doubling Jones and able to contain their pass rush.   But the good thing is that yesterday, we schemed well against Steve Spags Defense, Canales married the surrounding personnel with his QB through play designs within his comfort zone and was able to get downfield at will.  He was able to execute higher difficulty throws and look a lot more comfortable.  It tells me that Canales has a good system in mind, and had an edge gameplanning wise against Spagnuolo - which is nice to see.  It's a bit to see-saw at times with either going way too pass heavy or way too run heavy, but I think he's finding out what works.  It takes time to have it come together, and sure, I could see regression happen against a better front-7, but this was good for the entire system gelling.
