Speaking of Patriots and Sherman. Belichick doesn’t like exposing his intentions. But his crush on Sherman is very apparent. He is having trouble covering up his lust for Sherman. And with a lot of cap space that’s where he is likely going. He could attempt to recruit and lobby for his teammate Earl Thomas. Then rumors are circulating that Belichick is gonna trust Michael Lombardi once again in the draft process.
Many of my friends here are aware of the Belichick drafting situation. From 2006 through 2011 with a couple exceptions like Gronk. Belichick made Ozzie DeCosta look like Nostradamus when it came to drafting. Burning through countless busts attempting to replace the defensive stars and oline players that helped him win 3 Super Bowls. A casual fan shoulda been ashamed of himself drafting that many total busts. Many of his probs resided in his philosophy and drafting goals.
In a nutshell he has some of Harballs and Decostas habits. He cared more about character and college schemes and coaches he played than the skills and instincts of the player himself. Taking round 6 players in the top 40 picks. And he began looking like a total Jackass. Think the Joe Flacco debates get heated here in Maryland?? The outrage and call to remove his drafting authority got very heated in the area. The local analysts and even the fan there finally agreed something has to be done about his drafting. Especially after their most recent Super Bowl loss to the giants. Cuz the homers stoutly defended his drafting. My opinion on that is anybody that could competently stand up for his drafting should get a scholarship to an Ivy League law school!! Patriots needed playmakers at outside WR cornerback safety and oline. I go to the New England area a couple times a year for a couple days for work. My friends that are pats fans were enraged by his drafting. Then the media finally backed criticism.
That is when Bill didn’t have a choice but to consult with his favorite most trusted draft and personnel advisor Michael Lombardi. He criticized Bill face to face about his strategy. And said if I’m gonna help u. We aren’t giving to many points for choir boy character. Nor are we drafting based on schemes he already knows. We are drafting players with skills and coach them up. To no surprise Patriots drafted Jones Collins and Hightower. Although Wagner was Lombardi’s favorite the compromise was on Hightower. Belichick added some free agc ashamed of his latest defenses performance in his latest super bowl loss tainting his resume. He is under scrutiny and harsh criticism again after his latest boneheaded decision to bench Malcolm Butler after trading away his defensive playmakers. Thought his schemes could cover and compensate for a defense with very little skill. Once again he made an ass out of himself. And is facing harsh criticism. Including the most hurtful thing you could ever say about Belichick. That being Tom Brady wins him Super Bowls. And compensated for Belichicks incompetence. He may say it doesn’t but that hurts Belichick. So he wants his defense to once again be counted on. So Sherman will probably be playing for the patriots next season.
