K-9 Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Genius move by the Pats***. Sheer genius. Did I mention Belichick is a genius? GO BILLS!!!
Big C Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Genius move by the Pats***. Sheer genius. Did I mention Belichick is a genius? GO BILLS!!! I'd like to add that Belichick is brilliant.
Kirby Jackson Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 My thoughts are the same as they were before he was (over) drafted: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/157540-who-will-be-this-years-draft-sliders-and-busts/?p=2786146
QuoteTheRaven83 Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Only problem is he sucks Until he goes to the Patriots and he ends up being a star.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 25, 2016 Author Posted August 25, 2016 @RapSheet Barkevious Mingo saw his 5th-year option declined & didn’t fit in the new coaching staff. Can he have a #Pats resurgence like Jabaal Sheard?
Wayne Cubed Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 @RapSheet Barkevious Mingo saw his 5th-year option declined & didnt fit in the new coaching staff. Can he have a #Pats resurgence like Jabaal Sheard? Except Sheard signed as a FA and had time to learn the playbook and the Patriot** way. I can't imagine coming in when TC is practically over is going to help Mingo.
Malazan Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 What a great and glorious move by fearless leader. This is the best trade I've seen all offseason even better than trading Stork

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Genius move by the Pats***. Sheer genius. Did I mention Belichick is a genius? GO BILLS!!! Haha. I know the Pats certainly miss on their share of players but I hate moves like this. Do I think there's a chance that he might be a good player in NE instead of the tire fire that's Cleveland? Of course. NE just did this with Sheard who put up his best sack numbers since his rookie year with them. I'm always in favor of getting former high draft picks for low costs, barring major issues. Jerry Highes was a failure in INd and we stole him. It's amazing what a winning culture can do for a player. Except Sheard signed as a FA and had time to learn the playbook and the Patriot** way. I can't imagine coming in when TC is practically over is going to help Mingo. Aren't we hoping for the same thing with Lawson? For some reason, I have a feeling Belichick will make the transition as easy as possible for him.
SF Bills Fan Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Only problem is he sucks He sucks for the Browns, but will probably be awesome in New England and fit their system. Like Dion Lewis. The Browns are a farm team for the Pats.
KGun12TD Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 I don't think anyone said this yet...but, this is Genius!

For some reason, I have a feeling Belichick will make the transition as easy as possible for him. Are you really trying to compare Lawson, who has been around the Bills all offseason and Mingos situation? Will Bellichick make it as easy as he did for Haynesworth or how about Ocho Cinco?
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 He is horrible He might be. But he's 25 and has had a different DC every year of his career. Believe it or not, he had more sacks in his first 3 years than Hughes did. Would you have said Hughes was horrible when we got him? IMO, these are those subtle, no real loss moves, good teams make. If this guy could have been gotten for a 7th or so, I'd take him on the Bills.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 25, 2016 Author Posted August 25, 2016 @RapSheet Former #Browns first rd pick Barkevious Mingo will fly to New England tonight and join the #Patriots, source said. It’s all a formality now.
Saxum Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) Well Mingo will need to get on his HGH diet. Edited August 25, 2016 by Koolaid
