Lynch!

Don Banks mentioned this and it struck me hard. I was so upset with losing Rodney I hadn’t realized we were courting John Lynch in the preseason, and the story is that he hates being ‘retired’ and wants to sign somewhere.

What are the chances he’s in town for the Rams? Gotta be over 50%.

John Lynch or Ty Law?

During Belichick’s interview on WEEI’s Big Show yesterday, he is asked specifically about the signing of John Lynch and/or Ty Law. The entire discussion starts around the 16.30 mark, where Belichick mentions the need for the Patriots to sign a player who can play and step right in, but cautions “you never want to sign a guy off the street to play 60 plays on Sunday.”

At around the 20.00 minute mark Belichick says, " We will consider anybody that’s not on our team we feel like can help our team. Ultimately we’ll pick the player who we feel can make the best contribution in that spot both this week and going forward."

Keep the faith!

Sign Lynch

I’d sign Lynch and promote Meriweather to starting SS. Lynch was originally thought of as Tank Williams’ replacement at hybrid safety/linebacker role for nickel and dime packages, but who knows now. At any rate, Lynch has more “recent” experience with the Patriots’ D than Ty Law.

Lynch is a liability.

Doesn’t anyone remember his performance in the preseason, where that kid just ran away from him? He’s got the footspeed of a linebacker now. We aren’t going to get what we need by picking up a guy deemed insufficient to help the very defense we just eviscerated on Monday night. If Lynch is less good than what Denver needs, he definitely won’t do for us.

As Mr. Sloan always says, there is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in pie. And there's an "I" in meat pie. Anagram of meat is team... I don't know what he's talking about. --Shaun of the Dead
