    The Pats got Burgess

    From Rotoworld:


    Patriots acquired OLB/DE Derrick Burgess from the Raiders in exchange for "undisclosed draft considerations."

      *****, at first I read it as Burress...as in Plaxico. So, Burgess doesn't worry me as much.

          These are the moves that make that organization good. They know talent and they don't care how old a player is. I would have liked to see him in Buffalo.

            Horrible. He would have really helped the bills bridge the gap between the two teams but instead he only contributes to widening it.

            This is why the pats stay good.

                The rich just keep on getting richer.

                Would have been a nice addition for sure.

                  Well thats what happens when your good enough to trade away players for picks, or trade down to get more picks. You have options.

                  As I have said many times, we arent willing to move picks the way they do to make themselves better.

                    I was really hoping the Pats wouldn't do that...oh well.

                      I don't think he's a good fit there.

                      I'm just letting you know that you have been given 2 points for telling Wys AKA Mark to kill himself.

                        I think he helps right away as a pass rusher on passing downs. That is his skill, and it is the Pats biggest need. That is why they made the deal. I see him as a valuable role player on passing downs, rushing the passer opposite Adalius Thomas.

                        However, I don't know if he will be an every-down LB. He has played some 3-4 OLB in Oakland under Rob Ryan, who used to coach for the Pats. However, he has been a 4-3 DE more in his career. I doubt he plays every down, but I bet he plays a lot on 3rd downs.

                            Edit: More recent reports are a 3rd in 2010 and a 5th in 2010 or 2011 (I've seen differing reports).

                              For the low price they paid, I smell a Rosie Colvin bust to me.
