This would be a smart move. Pats fans say he is a great special teams player, and provides great depth. He knows Mangini's system. He could be a solid starter here. If not, it doesn't hurt to have this valuable depth, and it strengthens our special teams.
Haha. :lol: Anyway, I hope our resident Patsy fans give us their take on this. I have no clue about this guy, and wouldn't mind hearing NOTom or DW's opinion.
ESPN Insider Scouting Report: #58 Matt Chatham | LB Full Name: Matthew Chatham Born: June 28, 1977 Newton, IA Height: 6-4 Weight: 250 lbs. Age: 28 Pos: LB Experience: 6 years College: South Dakota He is an excellent open field tackler, which shows up on special teams, and he can adjust to movement on the open field, he has nice change of direction skills, and he seems to play under control. He is at his best as a linebacker who is chasing sideline to sideline where he can make plays in space, and not have to worry about traffic or taking on blocks. When he has to step up and fill, he is not nearly as effective, and he will dazzle you vs. inside run at the point of attack. He has the ability to be an effective straight line blitzer, but he doesn't have enough experience or playtime to show anybody if he can really excel in that role.
Sure do - if you're trying to say two different things. You were more correct the first time. Stick to your guns.
i know.... i was just trying to recover & make myself look better - i realize that corps was the better word, but i couldnt figure out how to spell it correctly so i went with core the second time
so what we have here is a lifetime underacheiver, who will suddenly find his A-game and be a pro-bowler for the NYJets? well at least we can say we didnt waste a draft pick on him!
He wants a chance to start and he may get it here...maybe he'll be a beast for us who knows? He'll play ILB with Vilma. He backed up Bruschi his whole career and did a nice job from what I hear. Give him a chance.
point taken. answer is ...HELL NO! the writing is on the wall. i dont care who is in the F.O. when will we come to our senses?
Well of course preferrably I'd take AJ Hawk but what's done is done and all we can be are Jets fans and hope for the best.
30 year olds don't have upside. This guy is a bum. I spoke to y friend who is a pats fan-- he sucks. Anyone who thinks this a good signing is out of their minds.
