Linebacker Marques Murrell signed with the Pats today. Saw this from a twitter post on espn.com/nfl more details.. http://itiswhatitis.weei.com/sports/newengland/football/patriots/2010/03/09/kraft-pats-add-murrell/
Another quality Special teamer. I'm getting a Pete Kendall vibe from this offseason so far and I don't like it.
What the heck bro, you are getting all worked up for all these special teamers that come dime a dozen. Get over it man. Besides TJ, Sheppard and Rhodes, we didn't lose anyone of significant value. We knew these 3 were in danger to start off with.
He had 12 tackles in 10 games and that was his best year..what exactly are you worried about? Of course I will admit those numbers put Gholston to shame but that's another discussion......
Pete Kendall vibe? You mean when we lose players and they decline precipitously, justifying our losing them? I'm ok with that vibe.
Kendall was traded in preseason... after free agency and the draft and all that, so we couldn't replace him. And he played one the most important positions on the field, not STs.
Isn't it true this guy got benched later on in the season? I think Westhoff got pissed at him..............something like that. Got to go research it. What cooked his goose was that stupid punch(s) in the Buffalo game. Anyway Westerman made this dude expendable.
haha as usual... last year everyone was talking him up.. wasnt he the guy dragging around tires? yeah everyone was all about hiim last year. NOW that he is gone he was useless and no big deal. i liked him, i thought he had a very nice up side. i am surprised that he was let to walk if it wasnt going to be more than a minimum salary. i also dont remember if he was benched late last year, i would imagine that getting benched from special teams duites is one way to not get yourself resigned. as usual while everyone else tells us how unimportant he is a mere 8 months after saying how much they love him i will say good luck i hope you do well, i am just disappointed you went to that shithole.
yes he was declared inactive for quite a few games. i dont know if it was a result of his play or the coaching staff just trying to get the ghost active for games. i know vernon took his spot on special teams down the stretch. and this is a very important post because this has got to be the first, last, and only time anyone has every said that vernon gholston has taken somebodies starting spot.
Decent special teamer but expendable. Perhaps now that NE has signed him they can release fellow OLB Adailus Thomas...
