Interesting discussion on espn radio this AM. Seems some former players think playing for Belichick ain't all that. Yea, you will win games, yea you may win playoffs and SBs but they aren't having much fun doing it. There is little margin for player error.
They noted there is only one player on the NE roster that's played in all 5 SBs.
its a different way to run a team, and you have to be willing to turn the roster over year after year.
Contrast that with the Eagles who have a bunch of guys that that seemed to be growing and having fun together.Comment

Unfortunately, you can't argue with BB long term success. What he's doing is working. Most people's work (job) in this country isn't fun.Interesting discussion on espn radio this AM.

But is it BB's methods or is it TB? There is evidence that Belichick would not be as successful without Brady (note his time in CLE).Comment

Report: Gronk trade is coming
Posted by Mike Florio on April 3, 2018, 10:47 AM EDT
As the chatter and speculation continues regarding a possible trade of Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski — chatter and speculation that has not been refuted by the team or the player — the first clear report has emerged that a trade is coming.
Ken Laird of WEEI, senior producer of the Kirk & Callahan show, reports that Gronkowski will be traded in the next couple of weeks.
Sure, Laird doesn’t have a reputation for being a breaker of news. But he produces one of the most popular shows on one of the most popular sports talk stations in the Boston market. Chances are that he’s heard something from someone about some sort of somewhat plausible move that will happen someday between now and the draft.
The fact that the move is dubbed as occurring “in the next couple of weeks” fits with the notion that, if the Patriots will be acquiring a first- or second-round pick for Gronkowski, they prefer to get the pick while the pick is on the clock. This will require the Patriots, Gronkowski, and his next team to keep everything completely quiet. But the Patriots have proven time and again that they know how to persuade/coerce others to go along with a vow of silence, or else.
So it makes sense to continue to keep an eye on this one, especially once the draft begins.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/04/03/report-gronk-trade-is-coming/Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.Comment

I hope that they do this. I feel like they are much less dangerous without Gronk, who I think is basically uncoverable. I haven't really been watching NE much though. Maybe they feel like he is declining or that his injury history is too scary.Report: Gronk trade is coming

Walsh used to say (and coaches adopted it after him) that it's better to trade a guy one year too early then one year too late. I think this applies to the Gronk situation. Whoever trades for him may get one good year and then he's going to ride off into the sunset. Basically, BB is trying to get over on some sucker team.
They won Super Bowls without him so BB doesn't feel intimidated by doom and gloom with moving him.Comment

they are just as dangerous without him
as long as they have Brady and BB they are a dangerous bunch because their play calling and adjustments are top notch.Steelers 27
