How funny is that?  Peyton gets Wes, and now Brady gets Collie?

Not really a swap in the Patriots' favor.

I think the pats brought him in last year and then cut him preseason.  I don't think he will really make an impact.

Oh I agree with you -- I doubt he sticks around.  Concussions have derailed his career.

Would be a great story if he actually did stick, though.

Sounds like an insurance move.  Is Dobson gonna play this weekend?

Collie was the guy who was concussed to high heaven towards the end of his Colts days, right?  I'm surprised he's still even playing football.

I don't think they could have, he was with the Colts. I don't recall him being in camp.

They brought him in this past summer I was wrong.

He suffered multiple concussions in 2010, then came back and played a full 2011 campaign before tearing up his knee in his first game in 2012.

Hopefully the year of rest has helped with his concussion issues -- perhaps we can catch lightning in a bottle.

I think Dobson will play.

The bigger questions are Gronk and Amendola.

I'm actually a bit less concerned about the Pats offense, which now seems to be coming together, and increasingly concerned about the defense.

I think the Pats will miss Wilfork, especially in the LT. In the short term, I think they'll do a few things to fool opposing QBs, like Dalton this weekend.

I'm actually going to the game this weekend.  Driving down to Cincy from Chicago on Saturday night.  It'd be great to see the return of Amendola and/or Gronk.

3rd time at the Jungle.  It's a great venue to watch football.  I recommend it.
