Funny how things play out from season to season. Last year the jets had one of the worst set of corners in the NFL and the pats had one of the best tandems. At this point jets now have one of the best while the patriots have what looks to be one of the worst.

Most major media outlets grade the Patriots offseason in B to B+ range so I'm not sure I agree with this outlook. Actually I'm sure that I don't agree. We had 2 premier UFAs, we lost Revis and we retained McCourty. McCourty is 3 years younger and a little more than half the price. Wilfork had his farewell tour last season, everyone saw that writing on the wall last offseason.From Superbowl champions to laughing stock of the NFL within months.

Sigh. I just got redirected to an adult website when I first clicked on this thread on my phone. This is why I use an ad blocker on my PC. gonna have to find one for my phone.
Stepping outside the thread topic for a brief moment:
I was thinking about this today and I find it interesting that the last four #1 CB's that we've considered really good - Revis, Talib, McCourty (at least for his rookie year), and Samuel - all came to the team in different ways:
Revis = Free Agent signing
Talib = Trade
McCourty = High draft pick
Samuel = Mid round draft pick who worked his way up over the years
So this signing is a camp body, hopefully someone who plays better than we expect and finds a role for himself. But just because we don't sign a Revis replacement (and by that I mean a competent #1 corner, not the best corner in the league) in free agency doesn't mean we won't find one in one of the other three ways that we've done so in the past.
You could possibly add Chung to that theory as well, assuming his improvement last year wasn't 100% due to everyone around him. If Williams and Fletcher do happen to succeed in their new spots, I might start to consider Chip Kelly as The Anti-Rex Ryan: So worried about his ground breaking offensive scheme that he doesn't pay attention to his defense.
God i'd rather give some undrafted rookie a shot.
Lmao, pats getting desperate.

I got the same thing!Was it a naked black woman for Adult Friend Finder? It happened to me as well except I'm on a computer (Mac). I use AdBlock as well and it still showed up.
I think it happened a few times before when trying to visit other websites.
Fans of other team's are definitely laughing at us. It's probably not warranted, but they are pointing and snickering.Laughing stock? Thats a bit overboard...
Chung sucked in NE before he joined Philly or have you forgotten it, and let's see how he does when more is required from him this season. All the people talking up Fletcher must have never seen him play because he is that bad.
Nope, haven't forgotten, thanks. Fact remains Chung is a good example of a player being asked to do more than he's capable of doing (both here and in Philly) and excelling when he's given a role that suits him.
And no one is building Fletcher into a number one corner for us, just trying to say that his role in Philly may have been miscast, and his potential is higher than it would appear at a quick glance. Whether that's good enough to make the team we'll see.
