If you were frustrated by the Pats defense last season like I was, I'm sure you were screaming for more pressure on opposing quaterbacks. And were you a little concerned that we did not address that situation in the draft? I'd have to say i was a bit miffed that we didn't draft some stud linebacker to upgrade the Old Men we have now.
But who am I to question Mr. Belichick? Out of the blue, we picked up Derek Burgess from the Oakland Raiders for a song and a draft pick. Burgess is 29 (a prime veteran) and before a string of minor injuries had 38 sacks in four seasons. Now before you point out his minor injuries...let's face it; if you played for Al Davis' Traveling Rodeo and Circus, wouldn't you find a way to sit on the bench and then beg to be traded. That's just what Burgess did.
He got his wish.
and we got ours.
This is going to be a great season!
