Patriots Notes: Walter on IR, Pro bowl Results, and more

Ken Walter on IR – Oh wow, another player to go onto injured reserve.  Walter injured his foot during the game on Sunday.  I saw the play, he had a crappy punt, frusturated, he sprinted down the field to help make the tackle.  I saw him get up and limp and I was nervous…

Patriots Work Out Landeta - Nothing to fear though, the Patriots worked out 1000 year old punter Sean Landeta.  At least he is pretty good.  No deal was signed though.  Landeta was most recently with the Giants before getting cut.  Maybe the Patriots will look at former Pat Tom Tupa, why not?  They’re both ancient…

Patriots Work Out 2 Quality Veteran Linebackers: The Patriots worked out linebackers Orlando Ruff and Sam Cowart.  Oh yeah, they’re ancient too   By the way, sorry to those readers out there that are actually older than these guys, they’re just ancient for their positions.  I am pretty intrigued by Cowart though, who was a stable on the Bills defense for years.

Pats Jipped On Pro Browl: If I told you that Tom Brady didn’t make the Pro Bowl, you probably wouldn’t believe me.  If I told you that the NFL leader in interceptions (Asante Samuel) didn’t make the Pro Bowl, you still probably wouldn’t believe me.  If I told you that the best defensive lineman (this year) didn’t make the probowl (Ty Warren), or his massive counterpart nose tackle (Vince Wilfork), you probably wouldn’t believe me.  If I told you the ever so deserving Mike Vrabel didn’t make the Pro Bowl, you probably would believe me, but he really deserves to go.  Finally, If I told you LARRY IZZO didn’t make the Pro Bowl, you really should not believe me.  Guess who made the Pro Bowl?  Richard Seymour, that’s it.  Maybe Asante or Warren will make it as a “need” player, but we really got jipped this year.
