I must admit I wasn't expecting any Patriots player to do anything so it suprised me, it is quite sly and funny though and beats just coming out and saying he hates the Jets or Rex Ryan



I don't see the point in anyone from either team saying anything to be honest it's not going to effect what happens in the game, whoever plays the best on the day/scores the most points will win, the trash talking from both teams is just pointless and I think it shows nervousness from all the players/people that do it more than anything else.

Good to see him in a new job already as he always seemed a decent fella.

Aye I think he's a good coach too, I think the Panthers just needed a fresh start all around and he has got himself a good job aswell so it's a win win situation.

I take it the Panthers are still looking for a new coach ?

No they hired Ron Rivera the Chargers defensive Co-ordinator

Missed that one.

Looks likely that Manusky from San Fran may be coming in to replace Ron. Thought they'd have given the gig to Pagano (the LBs coach) myself.

Chargers also linked with Aso. I would w**k for a week if that happened, even though we have more pressing areas of need.

He'll end up at the Cowgirls IMO. They are supposed to be going after Rob Ryan as D Coordinator and he is a big fan of Aso. I can't see any other "contenders" paying him as much as Dallas and he wont want to play for a poor team like Oakland again.

Aso would be more than welcome at the Packers though, like the last excellent Oakland corner Charles Woodson, if he'd play nickel.

I read a story saying how winning is more important that money in this move for Aso. If that's the case, the team is te key thing. There's no way he ends up in SD in reality. We've been close to winning for years but hae proved that the team doesn't have the back bone to get to the big one. The Cowboys will be all over him but he has worked under Al for years, would he want to go and live in Jerryland now?

Probably not but they are are a decent team with a chance to contend for the NFC if they pull things together. They are a genuinely talented team on offence but much like you guys they shoot themselves in the foot at key moments.

I don't see any other team being able to offer him the money needed to sign him. At his current price realistically i can only see Dallas and Washington being willing to pay it. If he is willing to take a pay cut then that brings in teams like Pittsburgh, New England and Indianapolis.

Asomugha, McCourty and Bodden? yes please

would make a pretty good secondary the problem is there's no way in hell he will accept a 5-8m a year deal unless he REALLY wants to win, if they can find a way to bring him in I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up a Jet.

Arrington and Butler aren't too bad either and like the rest of the younger D players will be great in the next few years but like you say unless he takes a massive pay cut it's a no go. I would rather get some pass rushers anyway unless we can have both



I'm looking forward to the D developing in the next few years and can't wait for next year(if theres a season), I have been saying on here and other forums all year that whatever we do this year is a bonus, I didn't see us being as good as we have been recently but we have improved at a great rate these last few months, some pass rushers and we could be unstoppable
