Chisoxfn Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Holy Sheznit....Corey Dillon is now a Patriot. The Bengals got a 2nd rounder. Rudi Johnson is good and at least the Bengals got something for their problem child, but on the other side, the Pats just got one of the top running backs in football and they already are the best team in the NFL. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1785718 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was maybe 2 or 3 years ago, but I wouldn't say so anymore. Hopefully, he does more harm then good and the Bills can beat them twice this year(or atleast once like last year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 Think of it this way, last year was his only sub par year and really its the only time he's whined. Usually I had no fault with his whining cause all he wanted was out of Cincy to play for a winner. However, he didn't like Marvin Lewis for whatever reason and caused problems. In the Pats system with Belliceck he is gonna play his ass off. Plus, they got a ton of offensive weapons as it is, now insert a stud back and wowzer. I think Dillon is still a top 6 back in the league. Tomilson, Ricky Williams, Jamal Lewis, Portis, and Holmes are the only guys I'd clearly say are better. I think he's as good as Ahman Green, as good as Faulk (who knows if he's healthy) and probably some other backs that I'm forgetting right now.

Spiff Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 He's better than Antwain Smith, and he's more than worth a second round pick. It was a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 The Pats get a steal because they still have 2 first round picks, and another second rounder --- Give them the trophy now --- Actually I think I read that Colvin could be out all year again -- so injuries could still keep them from the superbowl -- They are even bigger favorites now.

I think the Pats take a dt in the draft and a WR with their 1st two first rounders. I read somewhere that Colvin may have to retire due to his injuries, although they could of really been blowing it out of proportion. But his injury is kind of like Colombo's injury, they have no idea whether he'll ever be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have two 2nd round picks to go along with two 1st rounders. As long as Corey comes ready to play and doesn't b****, this is a great move for the Pats.

Absolutely, Dillon > Antwan Smith Dillion > then any 2nd round pick the pats coulda picked. Dillion = Steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I think Cincinatti did pretty good out of this. They WERE goin to trade him to Oakland for a 3rd, but when Denver traded up to 17, it looks like they are goin to take Stephan Jackson, who the Pats wanted. So they Pats decided to get Dillon for a 2nd instead. Don't think Belicheck will put up with Dillon's BS either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they also have their two first rounders in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
