Herm Edwards gives glowing review of new Patriots safety Jarrad Page
 

Herm Edwards is the big fan of Jarrad Page, the newest member of the New England Patriots.

I'm starting to see why.

The Boston Herald caught up with the ESPN analyst, who coached Page in Kansas City from 2006-2008, to see what type of insight he could offer on the 2006 seventh-round pick.

What are the Patriots getting? According to Edwards, a player that should immediately fit in and thrive with the Patriots.

”They’re getting a very smart football player, and (Patriots coach) Bill (Belichick) likes smart players. He’s got great instincts. He can play in the box. He can cover tight ends. But his ball skills are what really make him stand out a little bit ahead of a lot of other guys. He’s got great anticipation. He’s just a really good football player. I really liked him.”

Page was acquired Saturday from the Chiefs for an undisclosed future draft pick to help ease the loss of Brandon McGowan, who was placed on season-ending injured reserve with a chest injury.

It's yet to be seen if Page is as talented as McGowan, but his skill set is similar enough that he should be able to glaze over the loss.

Plus, he can hit hard. Really, really hard.

Herm should talk about his poor tackling.

Herm shouldn't talk.

The "he can hit hard, really hard" comment cracked me up. WHEN he makes contact.

Herm is a loyal guy and has to consider his position as a media member and a guy that could find his way back into coaching. He's not likely to ever be heard bad-mouthing a player on-air. And I suspect that ESPN doesnt' want him to play the heavy. Not his strength. Playing the heavy flustrates him. ;)

:LOL:

pollard

Page got a bad rap

Id really like to hear the real story behind all of this.

Jarrad and Herm use to eat frozen fig newtons together
and discuss Rhonda Moss

Your life would be better if you didn't listen to Squirmin Herman mother****ing sack of ****ing **** Edwards.

I'm a little surprised that Herm even had an opinion.

He must have watched the film.

FAX

my god he was a terrible coach.

Just ****ing horrible.....

When we first (traded) for Edwards to be next KC HC, I didn't listen to many Jets fans who always said "He's going to ruin your team etc". Holy ****ing shit was I wrong.

You had a lot of company.

What was Page's tender?
