Pats really must have worked on something with Tank playing that DB/ILB spot and it looked like it was going to be used often. Maybe Lynch takes over that role.
Looking at the schedule this year, Pats do play some really good TE's.
Does it strike you that your first sentence is directly contradicted by the rest of your post?
Lynch is clearly past the point of being an impact every-down player. But as a situational "big nickel" guy, he makes sense and fills a clear need on this roster -- better than you could reasonably hope for on August 14th. This seems like a good, solid, logical move.

I don't know. He's definitely slowed to the point that I'm not confident he can cover tight ends anymore. He has no experience in the defense, although the HC seems to have no concern that he could pick it up. I'm not 100% sure he makes the team.
Fixit is...intrigued.
The intangibles John will bring, the leadership, the smarts, he'll play in a rotation with Rodney, Brandon and JSanders to give us probably the best 4 backliners in the league (combined as a group to keep each other fresh in a rotation). Capers is working on all kinds of game plans now as we speak.
Welcome Johnnie.............
Thread prediction...
Homers "Nice! Lynch is going to be a GREAT fit here. Belichick will use him in some genius way that will showcase all of good qualities, while hiding all of his weakness's!! " :rocker:
:disagreement:
Non-Homer's - "This is a waste of a roster spot. Lynch is old, slow, and well past his prime. I thought we were trying to get younger!"
I'd rather have had Tank WIlliams, but Lynch is okay with me. Wish he'd have signed with us rather than the Broncos, though.The intangibles John will bring, the leadership, the smarts, he'll play in a rotation with Rodney, Brandon and JSanders to give us probably the best 4 backliners in the league (combined as a group to keep each other fresh in a rotation).
