Great guy…loved by the fans in New England. But another example of a guy that the Patriots unload just when he begins the downside of his career. (ala..Ty Law, Willi McGinest, Lawyer Milloy). Joe was done 2 years ago. Most New England fans were happy (for Joe) when Cleveland was stupid enough to give him a big contract. Joe was a great team player and a true champion.
Your the voice of reason always. exactly, if the CS believes this guy can help us, you'd believe the cleveland fans over Mangini and CO... wtf
Joe Andruzzi, lunch pail kinda guy. Played with my beloved Claymores In NFLE (bring them back). Really nice guy got skills and anchored a line to an SB. However he was a Pat and I think that we need to be loading up for the future. Joe you did a great job for my Claymores and you were always a great guy but I can't see you in Green.
Ekuban and Warren were traded, not cut... And Lang will be 32 years old this year, Cleveland would have been stupid to resign him at his age. What makes you guys think that people from Cleveland are any dumber then you guys? People who live and die with their teams don't celebrate a player being cut, especially a superbowl vet and locker room leader, unless there is good reason. All of last year he suffered from knee problems, and spent more time on his ass then he did blocking. I know the guys leadership is terrific, but his playing days are done. What the fuck do I know though, maybe Mangini is like beli in the sense that he can bring ancient guys and get them to play young again..
I'm not a huge fan of Andruzzi. He was vastly overrated in NE in terms of on field performance. Sure he's a good leader, but so is Kendall, who happens to be a superior player at this stage.
Kendall is going to be 34 to start the season. Andruzzi will be 32. Kendall wants a $1 million raise from his $1.7 million salary that he's due to get this season.
