Just Jack Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 The talented but injury-prone veteran I'm not worried.
Major Mud Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Just what we needed. Burgess The guy had 2 good years on a very bad team, hopefully he will not return to his previous best while playing for the Pats. He is injury prone only playing a full season twice...does anyone know what the Pats gave up for him?
buffaloaggie Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Undisclosed draft choices? The Raiders were only looking for a third and fourth according to Yahoo! Sports. Seems like a small price to pay.
Ice Cold Bruschi Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 considering how well we fleeced the raiders last time I'd guess a 7th
The Dean Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Undisclosed draft choices? The Raiders were only looking for a third and fourth according to Yahoo! Sports. Seems like a small price to pay. Report also notes Eagles offered a third. So, the Pats gave up more than a third, most likely.
MattM Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I read a 3rd in 2010 and a 5th in 2011 (as per Michael Lombardi) on a Pats* board. If he can return to his form of 2-3 years ago, this is unfortunately good news for them and bad for us......
Kelly the Dog Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Yeah, but we got Derrick Jones so I consider it a wash.
nodnarb Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 The worst owner in football, bar none: Al Davis. Nobody fails to recognize the value in their own guys like old Al. Burgess, great. It's so Belichick to pick up a guy who is known for low hits on QBs. Even when he has a clear path, he chooses to go low, putting the force of his blows in the knee area. Burgess, a very good and very dirty pass rusher. He'll fit nicely in the lineup next to Wilfork. May karmic injuries befall them all
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 May karmic injuries befall them all They won't. They'll knock TE out in week one, and roll on to the SB whilst the Bills languish in non-playoff hell. You just KNOW that's how it'll work out.

May karmic injuries befall them all Hey if it means Richard Seymour or Ty Warren are on the bench and off the field, great. I know Warren is still recuperating and Bellicheat was looking for insurance but I think Seymour and Warren play and Burgess gets far fewer snaps unless there are injuries.

Belichick may well use him at OLB. Also, Seymour is out often and so is Ty. Burgess-Patriots _Globe

It won't be an either/or situation - he'll play OLB. We'll be facing Seymour | Wilfork | Warren | Burgess | Mayo | Thomas That's 6 pro bowl guys coming at Trent. I hope our line is ready. Oy.

Thomas and Burgess are nothing more than "pretty good" players at this point in their careers.
stuckincincy Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Yeah, but we got Derrick Jones so I consider it a wash.
Billistic Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 It's not possible that the Bills got Derrick Jones and Derrick Burgess mixed up, is it? Seems to be an awful lot of Derricks and Dereks and Dockerys.
Billistic Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Thomas and Burgess are nothing more than "pretty good" players at this point in their careers. ..unlike Aaron Schobel...

I love the guy but he is Mr Glass. I see a top ten pick in our future! I can't wait to get another defensive back. As old Dicky like to Say " you can never have enough defensive backs"
Fingon Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 ..unlike Aaron Schobel... Schobel is better than Burgess, and on about the same level as Thomas.
