I can't answer all of them but for the Pats to have a chance this year they need (in order)
1. a pass rush- all of their sacks have been coverage sacks they all take 7-8 seconds before the qb leaves the pocket.
2. better front 7 against the run and more depth at LB- evidence is the ravens game. they new the ravens would run and the celtics still managed to give up 2 first downs before the half on 6 runs.
3. more depth at wr- We can't have sam aiken running around trying to make plays
4. SPECIAL TEAMS- OR ATLEAST AN EXPLOSIVE KICK/PUNT RETURNER- when was the last time they returned a kick or punt 4 a TD? I know edelman and welker were close once but come on!!! Name another team to not have a special team td?
5. Better rbs
Yes the Patriots have a huge history of trades both on draft day (always down) and for older Vets. |

Hard to answer all of that but I will provide you with a few links of information that you can dissect yourself. I will say though, that BB is a very misunderstood person, everyone seems to think of him as the "Sith Lord" of the NFL when in fact he is a real good person.

also character isn't too important in my opinion to the Patriots. They took Meriweather- look up his past. He shot a guy and stepped on someones head during a game. THe Pats used to be concerned about character but not anymore |

Because of one guy? Who they did their research on? And has been nothing but a great citizen since he's been here?
Yeah... Ok. The kid is a bad character because he did something stupid in the heat of the moment and because he DEFENDED HIMSELF in an incident that I believe left one of his teammates dead.
Good one. I see Mensa in your future. _________________ Buncha whiners. Yup, that means you. |

Don't get all riled up now...
Physically fighting with someone/participating in a riot is something this league doesn't like and see it as a character issue. That's just that.
Now, do I agree? Not really. An organized football game is pretty much just a controlled riot so it's a little hypocritical to me. However, what he said was correct aside from the gun incident. In that case, I'm not sure why he'd have a gun in the first place/would be a target in someone's crosshairs to begin with. |

| You can't deny Meriweather had character issues when he was taken. |
