I wouldn't hate the move. They need insurance in case James White isn't ready to step into the Vereen role. Vereen was able to move slowly in since Woodhead was still around. Bush could help cushion the transition.
I liked the Scott Chandler pick up today. I think it could be the end of the line for the Hooman and maybe Tim Wright moves to WR.
Eh. I thought Tim Wright was good enough as the number 2 and Hoo was fine. I really saw no need to go out and get another TE. I see Chandler being effective in the red zone, blocking, and off of play action. Should be a nice little boost but Tim Wright was really starting click with Brady. Caught 6 tds last year hopefully he stays.
Pats have done nothing significant this off season other than signing McCourty. Can you imagine if he walked? Signed Tyms and Gibson and another dude at WR. Got Sheard at DE, guy was a beast in his rookie season but his production has been dropping off the last two years.
Out of all the WR not sure why the Pats did not go after Bowe, Crabtree, Britt instead of the three others they signed. I rather have one of them than the three others.
As for DE or DT they should have resigned Vince or at least look at Knighton, heck even Greg Hardy on a one year deal. Boost the line up.
Then the cornerback situation. Why they did not bring back Browner for that price is beyond me. Ryan, Arrignton and Butler are the starting three now. Harmon is a safety with potential. Would be interesting to see him slide into corner.
Honestly, thank god nobody in the east has a legit quarterback. Marshall and Decker on the Jets, Watkins and Harvin on the Bills could really expose the Pats secondary if they had anyone throwing to them.
I think the Pats will make the playoffs, but it is gonna be hard to win the division with all the moves the other teams have made. We should have lost the two games against the Jets, Bills with Ryan will be the same hard fought battles. Looking at the schedule we have to go to Dallas, Indy, NYG, Denver, Houston. Then at home the only threat really is Philly. I just think the loss of Revis and Browner will be felt massively. We still have for the most part the same offense with a good chance to better it. Mayo is gonna be back. Still have the draft. Just really nervous about this season. It is gonna be the hardest fought battle for the AFC East in like ten years I think.
