Now that Aqib Talib has made the Pro Bowl and LeGarette Blount rushes for 189 yards in the finale with the Bills I can only imagine how Belichick handled these two talents which Schiano/ Dominick cast off.Yea they had problems but somehow Belichick brought out the best of their abilities and was able to utilize them to the Patriot's advantage. I would have loved to have seen what Lovie could have done with them.Think what next season could be like with those 2 in addition to our nucleus.
Great point, I'm glad we finally have a coach that is capable of dealing with players that may have some baggage. We've missed out on some good players in the past
You can't trust them with long term contracts, that's a big reason they were traded.
No thank you to either of those guys.
you act like neither was given a thousand chances to succeed here.
.if we would've had Lovie we wouldve kept Hardy Nickerson . . .and Alvin Harper would've been All-Pro . . . .and maybe Gruden would've come back as OC . .
Emphasis on coaching here. Belichick was able to take talented problem players and turn them into talented productive players, something Schiano was either unable or unwilling to do.Agreed that Talib had many chances but I'm not in agreement with the Blount scenario. Lovie might have handled him differently especially after he showed us something his rookie year.
what a dumb post
