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.

    • He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.  
    • This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.
    • I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
