Pats cut Albert Haynesworth

The team on Tuesday released Haynesworth, a league source told ESPNBoston.com, just a few days after the underperforming defensive lineman clearly struggled in the third quarter of Sunday's loss to the New York Giants. After getting overpowered by Giants guard David Diehl on a 10-yard touchdown run by Brandon Jacobs with 9:10 remaining in the quarter, Haynesworth did not see the field the rest of the game. Coach Bill Belichick said Haynesworth's absence after the play was not due to injury, indicating it was "rotation related."http://espn.go.com/boston/nfl/story/_/id/7208252/source-new-england-patriots-cut-ties-albert-haynesworth
 
All the analysts had Patriots off season as #1 for acquiring Fat Albert, and 85. Fat Albert is out the door and 85 might as well be released too.
 
How could this be? Was told all preseason how him and ochocinco were going to do huge things with NE and that we're idiots for not getting them.
 
Kind of sad when a journeyman in Gerrard Warren outperforms the 100 million dollar man.

He has possibly the worst work ethic ever seen in professional sports
 
how is this lmao worthy?

they picked him up for nothing and used him as a rotational player. He wasn't going to be a huge part of the defense and Kyle Love has been playing solid and the team just activated Ron Brace from the PUP list.

They picked him up for a 5th which is something, considering your GM(lol) Bellicheat's track record in the draft. The point is he was suppose to solidify the DL. Bellicheat's Ego is finally catching up to the Patsie's. Did you ever think that maybe Bellicheat is not as good of a coach as all you in Patsie land think. Tainted Superbowls and got lucky with Brady.

As much as it pains me to say it......The Jets will takeover the division on Sunday and for years to come. As much as I hate the Jets at least they are transparent unlike the slimy Patsie's.

I don't think people are laughing at the Patriots. I think people are laughing at the analysts that predicted Fat Albert and 85 were monster pickups for Patriots. I even read an article claiming Ocho will have 1,300 yards this year.

Also, Patriot fans thought highly of Fat Albert. Over at Patsnation, they are not happy with the move. Im not gonna pull up the thread, but Im sure you've seen em.

Belicheats track record in the draft is average at best. Have a look at his 10 or 11 drafts in NE. He got lucky with the Brady pick and had a few hits every now and then, but nothing to write home about.
 
Once Brady retires, that team is going to come crashing down. All these questionable personnel moves and the hit or miss drafts are starting to catch up with them now. I can't imagine what it will be like when Brady isn't there to pick up the slack. Unfortunately for us, Brady probably still has another 4-6 productive years left in him...

BB's ego and track record produced the best team of the past decade and a team currently tied for first place in the division. Haynesworth wasnt meant to solidifiy anything; he was brought in to be a depth/rotational player and that's what he was used as. Between the fact that he couldn't stay in shape and that the Patriots have several young DL (who were drafted) playing well meant he wasn't needed. It didn't work out but it's not like BB paid Gibril Wilson $30 million or spent or traded a 2nd rounder for Culpepper.

people will say the Pats free agents have been busts because Ocho and Haynesworth are big names, but they won't bring up Brian Waters or Andre Carter who have played very well this year.

From CBS today, could not agree more.

Quote:
Want to know why the New England Patriots are ranked last in the NFL in total defense?

Bill Belichick.

Not Belichick, the coach, but Belichick, the talent evaluator.

Study his drafts from 2005-2009 and you'll see why the Patriots, once a defensive nightmare for the opposition, suddenly can't stop anybody. For the five-year period from 2005-2009, Belichick, the man making the football decisions, had 23 picks in the first four rounds.

Of those 23 picks, 12 were used on defense. Of those 12, two started against the New York Giants on Sunday.

Two.

Those two were inside linebacker Jarod Mayo, a high first-round pick, and safety Patrick Chung (second round, 2009).

That's it, folks. Now we know why the Patriots have lost two consecutive games to fall down to the No. 13 spot in our CBSSports.com Power Rankings.

For all the cachet Belichick has as a personnel guy, his five-year draft window from 2005-2009 will make you think differently. The perception is far from the reality.

Of those 12 picks on the defensive side of the ball, only three are still on the team. The only other one besides Mayo and Chung is nose tackle Ron Brace. He was inactive Sunday.

Do the names Brandon Meriweather, Ellis Hobbs, Darius Butler and Shawn Crable mean much to Patriots fans? They are some of the defensives picks from those drafts not on the roster anymore.

This isn't to single out Belichick. There are a lot of teams that blew premium picks in those years. But the perception out there is that he hasn't, that he stockpiles picks and then uses them to build his team.

For those five years, that's far from the truth. Now he's been better the past two years, getting two more defensive starters in corner Devin McCourty and linebacker Brandon Spikes.

But there are big problems on defense, and poor drafting is the reason why.

Even Belichick, the defensive wizard, can't overcome Belichick, the drafter.



by the way the best team of the past decade is the Steelers. They did it legitamately. They are the best organization.

Like I said before two reasons for the three Tainted Superbowls:

1. Cheating
2. Lucky they drafted Brady

The only people in denial of this are the Patsie's fans who are myopic about their team.

 
There's a lot wrong with that post but I'll do my best:

for starter's the Patriots are ranked last in terms of total yardage. In terms of points allowed, the truly meaningful stat for a defense, they're currently 19th. People always talk of how dominant the Patriots defense was in the ealr 2000s, but the 2001 SB team was ranked 24th overall in total defense (yardage allowed). Nevermind the fact that we're only halfway through the season.

As far as the drafting goes, any Patriot fan will tell you that 06-08 was a lean time, and looking back they missed out on a lot of quality players. Personally the 2006 draft was BB's biggest mistake, since he should have used it to start replenishing the defense. I don't blame him for the 2007 draft, they got 2 decent years from Meriweather, traded a future first for Mayo and got Welker for a 2nd. After the Welker trade they didn't pick again until the 4th round.

The 08 draft was bad outside of Mayo; as far as Shawn Crable goes, he was a very good OLB prospect coming out of college but spent his first 2 years in the NFL on IR and never recovered. Seeing as how he never had any injury problems in college I don't really blame BB for not being able to see into the future.

the 09 draft was actually quite good. People always say they could have drafted Clay Matthews (nevermind that the Dolphins passed on him as well), but I remember reading Pats forums leading up to the draft and a lot of Pats fans wanted the other USC LB, Rey Maualuga and Clay Matthews wasn't really on a lot of people's radar, it's just that in hindsight it looks bad, even though 24 other teams passed on him. The Pats got Chung who's turning into a good safety, and Sebastian Vollmer who's one of the best tackles in the league. Typically getting 2 quality starters in 1 draft is considered very good so I don't know why other fans criticize that Patriot's draft. They also got Ron Brace who's been a decent role player and the only reason he was inactive lastweek was because he just came off the PUP list.

If you look at BB's overall track record as a drafter/GM, you'd see he's quite good. the Patriots were one of the best drafting teams from 2001-2005, and while 06-08 definitely hurt their cause, the 09 and 2010 drafts have been good for the team. He's also done a good job at free agency as well.

and as far as the Steelers being the team of the decade over the Patriots, they have fewer SB victories, fewer SB appearances, fewer AFC titles and appearances, a worse record, and lost twice to NE in the playoffs.

You dont get it, just like the rest of the Pat's fans. Your success in the Belicheat era is tainted! If I was a player, coach or fan I would be pissed. Bellicheat has not won a Superbowl since Spygate.....Enough said.

No matter what I say you will never get it. Your fan base and town are very myopic. BTW the Jets will takeover the division this weekend.
