Ben Watson suspended first 4 games..

Post by Rusty Kuntz »

Just saw that Watson is suspended the first 4 games for a failed drug test. If the door wasn't opened before for trading Kyle to the Pat's, it's surely wide open now. The Pat's are going to be desperate for a TE, what could we get for Kyle now?

They have Austin Sefarian Jenkins and Jeff Hollister as well.

I’m relatively confident that whoever they throw in there will end up an All-Pro.

What the hell makes so many people around here think Bill would take on a salary like Rudy's when he can get the same results or better out of ASJ for a minimum price. NE was in on Jared Cook before they signed ASJ and these two profile nothing like Rudy.

They want an athletic guy that gouges defenses inside the 20s. Rudy is a nice redzone target but between the 20s he has never really done anything. Also it's not like Watson died he will be back in 4 weeks, pretty standard procedure for the cheating Pats at this point. When has Bill Bilichek been desperate to do anything?

ASJ sucks. He's just a guy. Kyle is better then him Bill knows that.

You are familiar with the Patriots right?

Chris Hogan. Julián Edelman. Wes Walker. Deion Branch. Troy Brown. James White. Danny Amendola. Jonas Gray. Brandon LaFell. Tim White. Dwayne Allen. Kevin Faulk. Danny Woodhead. Stevan Ridley.

They are all “just guys.”

All guys that are WR, and a a couple RBs... since Hernandez left it was just Gronk..I can't remember who it was, but they signed a competent TE, maybe it was Dwayne Allen, and he didn't do anything.. :beer:

Just read your full list.. you telling me Dwayne Allen wasn't "just a Guy" on the Patriots?? Dwayne had 406 yds and 6 tds with the Colts, and only 86yds, and 1 td with the Pats.. Abe, ban this guy...

Bill didn't build that team by trading for aging players who are past their prime and paid more than their value.

Yeah, sorry. Forgot to mention Daniel Graham, Christina Fauria, the tight end duo that the Pats won their first three Super Bowls with.

Don’t forget Jermaine Wiggins, who was key in the “tuck rule” game that started it all.


He ended up with us, later.


Point is, Pats don’t panic, they don’t add old guys on big contracts, they get production from guys most teams think are nobodys, and they win with who they have.


I’m sure Belichick would trade a 6th rounder for him. But I’m also sure he wouldn’t go much higher than that and that losing Watson for 4 games isn’t going to affect his decision-making philosophy. Even if it hurts them and they go 1-3 to start (unlikely), they’ll just go 10-2 the rest of the way and win their division.

It’s what they do.

They also have very little competition in the terrible division they are in.

They can withstand missing Watson for the first four games. They start with the Steelers, who have obviously lost their top two players. Then they have Miami, NYJ and Buffalo. Lol. They aren’t going to panic and give up something of value for Rudolph just to get through that murderer’s row of opponents to open the season.

Could the ASJ cut be a prelude that a deal is close?

They won the Super Bowl the year Tom Brady was suspended the first 4 games, what makes anyone think they're going panic about this?
