Patriots are trying to make it nearly impossible to run on. This was a move made with the Jets in mind.

I doubt they're worried about Sanchez throwing on them.

I'm still not sure I'd have done Haynesworth, though. Randy Moss made sense to me, but Haynesworth has been such a disaster the last two years, and they're asking him to do the one thing he's bitched the most about. But I guess if there really is any such thing as a winning environment to help turn a guy's head around, it would be there.

1. A winning situation helps every malcontent's attitude.

2. Pats play ALOT of 4-3 and sub packages. One Pats beat writer said they were in base 34 less than 50% of the time last year.

3. BB is great at fitting schemes to players, not forcing players into schemes. If he thinks he will get the most out of Haynesworth in a 4-3, then we'll play more 4-3. Not that big a deal.

4. He's coached Lawrence Taylor, Corey Dillon and Randy Moss. I'm confident he did his Due diligence and is confident he can handle Haynesworth, at least for a few years.

I think you've misremembered.

I remember a lot people wanting Robert Meacham, but I don't recall anyone pining for Craig Davis.

I can't wait for the season to start. I love it when the broncos suck



Kyle Orton outplays Tim Tebow at Broncos’ practice

The Broncos’ quarterback situation continues to be puzzling.

Multiple reports have indicated that the Broncos will trade Kyle Orton, most likely to the Dolphins. And yet when the Broncos practiced for the first time today, Orton wasn’t just on the field — he was running the show with the first-string offense, and from all accounts outplaying Tim Tebow, the 2010 first-round draft pick who is supposedly the team’s quarterback of the future.

Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports that Orton looked poised and polished, while Tebow looked slower in finding receivers and less accurate in his passing. Klis writes that not only did Orton look better than Tebow, but Brady Quinn looked better than Tebow, too.

Tebow seemed to think he played well, which isn’t necessarily a good sign.

“We’ve got to work on some timing with certain things, but for a first day, I thought it was pretty good,” Tebow said.

Although there have been widespread reports that talks between the Broncos and Dolphins could yield an Orton trade soon, Klis writes that the trade could be tough to get done because Orton wants to stay put and the Dolphins don’t want to inherit Orton’s contract, which pays him $8.8 million this season.

For his part, Orton sounds like he’s perfectly happy to stay in Denver, and that he’s enjoying the competition with Tebow and Quinn.

“It’s not awkward, to be honest with you,” Orton said. “We’re pros. I’ve been in this thing for seven years now and it’s pretty much the same every year. No awkwardness about it. Go out, compete, and like I said I’m excited to play my best football.”

Asked if he still views himself as the Broncos’ starter, Orton answered, “One hundred percent.”

Stay tuned. The Broncos’ quarterback situation could play out as one of the most interesting storylines of training camp.

You're mistaken if you think the Pats make moves based on only one team. We have 14 other teams to play on the schedule.

We desperately needed a pass rush, and Haynesworth helps there. Our 3rd down defense was by far the worst in the NFL last year -- believe it or not given that we were 14-2, and Haynesworth DEFINITELY helps there. We also were weaker on the right side of the line (Seymour's old spot) and Haynesworth should help with that.

It's not "we need him to beat the Jets", it's "here's one guy who potentially fills alot of holes/needs".

Yep.

It's a solid no-risk deal.
