Re: Patriots sign Chris White
The Pats do this **** all of the time...it is also why they win games. They may be more talented, and would likely win anyway, but this is how things get lopsided.

Originally posted by stuckincincy View PostGenerally so. But I recall when OT Willie Anderson signed with BAL. Rich Gannon was doing the game, and he commented how it looked like they had the CIN playbook. The CIN players were hot about it after the game.
NFL playbooks today are given to players on a computer tablet, and the information is probably encrypted, and requires a password to access.
White may know some things about the Bills offense, but I'm sure he spent most of his time trying to learn the Bills new defense.
Apparently he wasn't a very quick learner...so I wouldn't be too worried.

Certainly, White's (brief) memory of the Bills' plays is miniscule compared to Willie's - and he was angry at them for not upping his contract.Last edited by stuckincincy; 09-01-2013, 06:57 PM.Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.

Re: Patriots sign Chris White
I can see it now... White comes down on the kickoff, causes a fumble, They score next play.... White was a real good ST player. That's where his value is. His grasp of the offense may not be that great, due to it being a new offense, but.. he knows the defense after working in it since April. As great is Brady is, White could clue him in on something I'm sure. Maybe not a scheme the defense is showing, but he could update him on personnel that is on the field on the Buffalo defense. Brady doesn't know what Alonso is good at or if Carrington is better than last year. I think that's where White or any players input on their former team is valuable.

Re: Patriots sign Chris White
I think the Pats wanted him for his ST ability, which is something they value on the bottom of their roster. They gave up some big returns in preseason. I suppose any input he can give them on the Bills from his time there is a bonus, but I doubt it has much of an impact on the game. I don't see it as a reason they claimed the guy. They also claimed 2 from Miami, is that for intel?
What is odd is the Pats had 2 other claims in on players that were awarded to other teams (neither from the Bills). They now have 8 un-drafted players from the past draft in addition to all 7 of their own picks. That is 15 rookies, which probably tells you something about how they felt about the depth on their roster going into this year.Last edited by GingerP; 09-01-2013, 07:51 PM.

Re: Patriots sign Chris White
Oh no, a third string LB is going to leak all our closely guarded offensive secrets.
Because if there's one guy I'm worried had too much access to (and mastery of) our offensive playbook, it's Chris White.
Let's just pray to the football gods this guy knows how to keep his mouth shut.Disclaimer: The sentiment expressed in this post is strictly for entertainment purposes only.
