Per J.Jones on twitter:acording to Bill Belichick "Lafell carving out a niche and it may be a big one" High hopes Billy Boy.If this dude pans out for them I will be suprised as hell.So Friday night they get to cover the unstoppable Donald.If "carving out a niche"is bowing up when it counts, then he's your guy.

What is wrong with Lafell doing well and why does it concern you?

I think some perceived LaFell's comments earlier this offseason as insulting. Might be a bit much, but I can see it.

And I agree that he's a talented guy with, to date, an average mental aspect to his game. Maybe being in NE will change that.

I mean it's pretty much coach speak. It's not like he's going to come out and say "damn this guy is terrible! Why did we invest so much money in him?"

 

We have the benefit of knowing who he is and how he plays. I will wait until the regular season gets here before I pass judgement on how well a former Panther is playing. And dude didn't leave under THAT bad of terms (see Smith, Steve) so there's really no reason to be butthurt about him even if he does figure out how to catch a ball in NE.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
