Patriots most desperate need

by MaPatsFan on Feb 26, 2009 8:42 PM EST

I'm going to attempt my best Bill imitation. Hold on, this is either going to be hilarious or go up in flames and you guys will have to put me out with a fire extinguisher. Here we go:

Reporter: Coach Belichick?

Belichick: Humph.

Reporter: How was the combine? Did you see any talent that interested you?

Belichick: Some good, talented kids. Question remains if they can play at an NFL level.

Reporter: Anyone in particular?

Belichick: A few looked good. We need to determine if they'll fit the system.

Reporter: How about Malcolm Jenkins?

Belichick: Smart kid. Athletic, strong, fast. Can play corner and safety. Likes to watch film and has potential in all 3 phases of the game.

The reporter, wearing flipflops and a "Life is Good" ball cap...backwards...is flipping through his NFL terms dictionary, wondering what "3 phases of the game" means.

Reporter: Coach, give me something; I'm dying here!!

Belichick: (smiling) Jenkins would be valuable when we switch from a standard 3-4 and adopt our speed package. Malcolm has the skills to jump in as a dime or nickel back in obvious spread offense situations and can assist the OLBs in closing the edges...

The reporter's ears are now ringing and he can't focus. He's starting to see double and he's hallucinating Belichick eating fellow reporters. He's starting to mumble and can't stand up anymore...

Looks like DB in a landslide so far.

Reporter: Coach Belichick?

Belichick: Humph.

I thought this was hilarious.

I voted DB, although when you look at all of the contracts expiring next year, a case could be made for DL and OL as well. LB will be addressed soon, as I expect Bruschi and Vrabel to hang ’em up in the coming years.

But yeah, the spot opposite Hobbs is still open and we don’t have a safety playing next to Meriweather right now.

DB for sure

Very close to being Bill

He practically gushes out his plans at the combine. I’m sure Karen Guregian was thrilled with this inside info straight from the Hoodie’s mouth:

"As we head into free agency, I’m sure there will be more changes, there always are," said Belichick. "We’ll be active with trying to improve our team, whatever way we can."

Keep the faith!
