#34fan Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) According to ESPN Boston, the New England Patriots have agreed to terms with former Colts running back Joe Addai. My link Wow. Not sure what they want out of a guy that's looking more, and more like an injury liability due to the rigors of his position. Perhaps some of their younger draft picks may pick up some preparation notes from the former pro bowler, but come on, 433 yards, and ONE touchdown in 2011??? I don't see a threat. -Should I?

VanCity Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Addai looked worn out last year. They've tried this before (Fred Taylor, Sammy Morris, Corey Dillon) with limited success. Not scared of this one in the slightest. He's no Green-Ellis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Well HGH does work wonders   This. Seems to be the Pats* "secret ingredient" to all of their "aging vet" signings if you ask me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's no Green-Ellis  They also tried it with Antowain smith and won a super bowl wirh him  Addai is a veteran in an otherwise young backfield Edited May 6, 2012 by Max997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a young backfield. I'd br suprised if Addai is on their roster opening day. Edited May 7, 2012 by It's in My Blood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Is it just me, or does anyone else get the feeling that NE is building a team that addresses some of the mismatches we gained over them this past offseason? You'll have to explain that one. It was well known the Pats* had weaknesses in their front seven, WR corps, and RB. They're attempting to address those. What they're not doing is addressing their OL or secondary. That aside, in what way does an old, worn down Joseph Addai "address a mismatch" Buffalo gained over the Pats*?

Doc Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I don't see that any AFCE team has made moves to counter what the Bills did over the off-season. The Jets and Dols still need viable RT's to matchup against Mario, meaning they'll need to keep a TE in to help block, since they can't use an OG to double him since it removes him from doubling Marcel or Kyle. Solder is unproven as a LT. And against all teams, I'd favor bringing a blitzer up the middle on most plays to force quick passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 They probably won't worry about us until we can prove to be an actual threat. They probably see our victory last year as simple luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
