Well, Dillon, while he is 30 yrs old is no slouch...he has been the star on series of bad teams, with coaching changes, etc...He does fit into the west coast style short passing game the Pats play...(think of Garrison Hearst and the 49ers, Ahman Green and the Packers)...He is a north-south runner that can take advantage when they spread out their recievers..the better the short passing game works in that offense, the better the running game works (draw plays, screens, delays). I don't know enough of their cap situation to see how that will play out...I would think that money was the reason he wanted out of Cincy so bad, along with wanting to be on a winning team....They must have reached some kind of agreement in principle on a contract so the cap shouldn't be an issue, but......someone in the Boston area, let us know what is happening there....
