Wonder why he was cut. If nothing else, bring him in to pick him brain. He's still very young and might have that Lawyer Milloy revenge factor.

Re: Bring in Meriweather
Meriweather was too much of a freelancer. He is a very talented player, but as a 5th year player they got fed up with his mistakes. He just missed too many assignments.
The Pats are playing a more aggressive scheme up front this year, and they need their S to be reliable to back it up. The big surprise with letting Meriweather go is they will be starting an unproven player, either Sergio Brown or Josh Barrett. I have to think they will bring in a veteran, maybe Darren Sharper (who they worked out a few weeks ago).
OG is another position they are thin at, as they put Rich Ohrnberger on IR and Ryan Wendell and Dan Connolly have been hurt in camp (but made the team). They visited with Andre Gurode and Brian Waters today, so they will probably bring in a veteran interior lineman.Last edited by Ickybaluky; 09-03-2011, 08:36 PM.

Originally posted by wmoz11So funny how people still request picking up guys that they know nothing about other than their name. Guy is undisciplined and terrible in coverage. Donte Whitner 2.0.Originally posted by mysticsotoLecter is right in everything he said.

Originally posted by OpIv37I liked Sergio Brown when he was at ND. But I hope he blows for you guys.
I think the Pats are looking at vets to make a run this year. They probably bring in Sharper. They brought in Brian Waters today and the Globe is saying they are negotiating a contract with him. I think they want vets.

Originally posted by Dr. LecterWatching the Bills safeties in preseason, they miss Whitner.
I think our front-7 has improved enough where we don't need to sign a "big name" safety for run defense.

Re: Bring in Meriweather
Originally posted by Dr. LecterProblem is he is still better in coverage than Byrd.
Byrd takes a lot of ****, but he had hernia surgery right before the season started last year. He played, but wasn't at 100%, arguably all year. By the end of the season he really turned it up, and was playing well.
He played, in my opinion, a more complete game last year. He forced some fumbles, tow of which came against Pittsburgh, and he was a much better tackler.
I don't think Byrd is a problem, and I think he will show his worth this season.

Re: Bring in Meriweather
Originally posted by MahdiI think this is a no brainer Lawyer Milloy type situation. Bring him in to upgrade our safety depth. Cut Scott.
He makes a lot of tackles at the LOS that other players miss. He had more courage going into the hole and making hits that LB's like Poz or Fletcher ever had.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
