boyst Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Adam Schefter reporting Plax to work out for Patriots. Could it be that all of their WR's just are not what they thought?
White Linen Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 We better figure out a way to get a WR ourselves. We had better figure out a way to get a WR ourselves.
DanInUticaTampa Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 As much as we need better recievers, I don't think plax would be an upgrade for us. It is odd that they are looking at him. They seem pretty stacked at the position.
Astrobot Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Hoody has Deion Branch, Brandon Lloyd, Matthew Slater, Donte Stallworth, Wes Welker, Julian Edelman, Jabar Gaffney, Britt Davis, Jeremy Ebert, Jesse Holley, plus 6 TE's. http://www.patriots.com/team/roster.html Plax would be the 5th WR with 10 or more years. Isn't Hoody worried about getting long in the tooth?
dbow Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 There was a report that Plax was willing to sign for the league minimum. Seems like a small investment to see what this guy has left. The coaches talk about how compition is good. So why not add one more veteren reciever to push these younger guys?

Isn't Hoody worried about getting long in the tooth? I don't know Astro. Keeping him for at least two games against us would be important. That big guy on the outside to dump it to for 8 yards who has proven he can beat us. I would take Plax over Lloyd given all their assets already.
Fan in San Diego Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Hoody is always looking for an upgrade.
Optometric Insight Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Don't the Pats sign a veteran free agent every year?

Isn't Hoody worried about getting long in the tooth? HGH is a helluva' drug. Seems to be the Pats* training regimen of choice--just ask good old Rodney Harrison. Only reason he was caught was he was dumb enough to put his real name and address on the order. Methinks that most of his teammates (remember the Cheats* have long been known as a place where formerly washed up vets go to "revive" their careers) were simply smart enough to avoid that mistake.....
Wayne Cubed Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 I'm confused, now I know it's only pre season, but judging by the Pats* line play, how the hell are these receivers going to have enough time to get open....

Wayne Cubed Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Can he play OL? For Tommys sake, they better hope he can...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 I'd love to see what a wr like plax would do in blue. The physical attributes not the head case side.
PromoTheRobot Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Hoody is always looking for an upgrade. a retread. Fixed. PTR
boyst Posted August 12, 2012 Author Posted August 12, 2012 I'd love to see what a wr like plax would do get away with in blue. The physical attributes not the head case side. My biggest fear is that if he got up there he would be able to impregnate our defensive backs. The guy has always been good at being aggressive and hands on but as a Cheatriot he might just be the ultimate supervillian.
White Linen Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Nix has done a very nice job, so it's hard to be too critical. But I'm not sure I understand the Meachem or nothing WR approach. This team desperately needs an experienced WR. I think guys like Plax, T.O., Lloyd, would be perfect for that role. I'm not sure why Nix stopped looking and so suddenly became ok with our situation as soon as Meachem signed with another team. Obviously we aren't privy to what they talk about, but the total inactivity seems to suggest.

Hey Boyst, have you been practicing a bit too much animal husbandry or am I missing something here?
Doc Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 It's worth a shot. After all, Chad Ochocinco worked out so well for them.
