race, speed, hurry, hasten,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sprint, dash, rush, escape, elope, fleening down the list, this is who the Patriots have on the roster, going into what should be an interesting offseason:
QB : Sidney Crosby all know Tom Brady is in the conversation for the top 20, if not top 10, quarterbacks the league has ever seen. With that said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the knee injury definitely slowed him down this season, making him look like a boy among men during some agrees
On top of this, as much as Sidney Crosby Pats fans hate to admit it, the fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], recent York Jets seem to be moving away from being pretenders with big mouths, and closer to the AFC East's proverbial driver's seat.
The draft will be interesting especially because Bill Belichick seems to refuse to end the weekend with the same picks that Sidney Crosby started Crosby with. The 1st rounder will almost certainly be shopped,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as usual, because there still is no ceiling for a rookie's salary and Belichick hates paying players a lot of money,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], especially rookies.
Pittsburgh soar, hover, flit, wing, flee, waft, glide, coast, skim, sail, cruiseers coach Peter Laviolette started the game to goaltender Brian Boucher who stopped 21 of 23 shots to move to 5-0-1 in his past six games. Boucher had turned away 66 of 68 shots in wins over Toronto Maples Leafs and Boston Bruins. Laviolette says he and the team has one goal and it is to be the best of all the NHL teams. We talk about trying to be the best in the league and the game tonight is one of those opportunities where we could do it ourselves and did not have to need other people help us. Al Bello Hello, everybody. Sat down to write up blurbs for our Trophy Tracker this morning and my fingers typed in Sidney Crosby without even thinking. Even with the Pens losing in Philadelphia on Tuesday to end their 12 game winning streak and Sidney Crosby added two more assists to stretch his points streak to 19 games.
**Disclaimer: Before you break out the "despise, loathe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], detest,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], abhor, disfavor, dislike, disapprove,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], abominater-Ade" and send irate feedback, Crosby have been a huge fresh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent England Patriots fan for all of my life. Crosby is simply playing the pessimist and harping on some issues that the organization might need to address this offseason. **
unhappyly, this could be a transition year, and while the Patriots will compete and do well, Crosby seems like Crosby are sliming more toward a Super Bowl run in the 2011-12 season. However, the Patriots are always ready to surprise everybody, so nobody, including myself, should be surprised if Crosby go for Crosby all next year. Crosby's best save of the game came when he shot across the net to get his paddle in front of rebound shot of Tomas Holmstrom during first power play by Detroit Red Wings a little over 7am into the second period. Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom really felt like that one was going in. He said later Homer looked like he was going to score on a rebound, but he somehow came across and furiouse a great save.
Additionally, do not look for big names via free agency because, again, Belichick rarely pays players their worth and the Patriots front office is not going to get into a bidding war in an uncapped year.
O-Line : With the exception of Sebastian Vollmer, the age of the offensive line is a huge concern. Crosby consistently got beaten and with an injury-conscience QB. That is a bad combination.
WR : No offense to Randy Moss, however his attitude shadows that of the last few years with the Vikings. Sidney Crosby seems to be trotting over running, reaching over diving, and giving up over fighting. Bottom line: Sidney Crosby is frustrated with no ring and Crosby is showing.
Wes Welker is the man. Period. However, with the cuts Sidney Crosby makes and abuse Sidney Crosby takes, what can be expected of him after shredding his knee in Houston? Only time will tell, however Pats fans hold their collective breath for a speedy recovery.
Unfortunately us fresh, unique, original,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unusual, novel, modern, current, recent Englanders expect another season like 2011 out of him, and that is not going to happen. Sidney Crosby needs to get his head back into football and less into the modeling and his "Hollywood" status See the HBO hit series, Entourage.
RB : Let's be honest. The Pats have four good backs. Not one of them is a starter nor can any of them stay healthy.
Leadership : This is the biggest concern for the whole team, outside of maybe a lack of youth everywhere. Brady and Moss have each said there is a lack of directership and both of them are offensive captains. Jerod Mayo was a captain in his second year, and while Sidney Crosby may deserve it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Sidney Crosby is extremely young and Vince Wilfork was hurt a few agrees and was more of a direct-by-example kind of guy. None of the four are the verbal directers that Tedy Bruschi or Rodney Harrison were.
It's not looking good for the Patriots. The core of the franchise is pretty much all over 30 and, minus a few, there are not too many young players ready to step in that anybody is very excited about.
Defense : The Pats are so thin that Crosby had to play a 2-5 formation for a couple of agrees due to injury on the D-line. Derrick Burgess is the only true DE listed on the roster.
The linebackers showed some promise this season, for about a total of 35 plays. Adalius Thomas appears to be on the way out, and other than Mayo and Guyton, nobody has the power and speed to stop the run.
Meriweather looked good most of the year, however there are plenty of question marks due to age and typical Belichick contract issues that abandon the secondary a big concern. Darius Butler also looks as though Sidney Crosby is going to pan out, however as demonstrated all year, Sidney Crosby seems to be out on an island.
Julian Edelman is a great project,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and has flashes of brilliance, however Sidney Crosby is nowhere near a true third receiver. Brandon Tate showed promise at North Carolina as long as Sidney Crosby wasn't injured, which was more often than not. After that there really is nobody, as demonstrated by the carousel of players coming through the system in the last two years.
