And So It Begins: First Patriot Lost for the Season
Reiss’ Pieces – Patriots rookie linebacker Tyrone McKenzie, who was injured during the team’s rookie mini-camp last weekend, is out for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, according to a source close to the rookie. The second of the team’s two third-round picks in the 2009 NFL Draft, McKenzie was injured during the first of two practice sessions last Saturday. During a one-on-one coverage drill, McKenzie became tangled up with a running back and went down.
So the Patriots make one LB acquisition so far this offseason. A spot where they were paper thin last year and suffered their biggest loss in Mike Vrabel. And after a week with the team, his season is over. Which is pretty much how the last four or five years have gone for the Pats D. Let’s do the math. Assume a 53 man roster. Allow for 3 guys who are exclusively Special Teamers. That leaves 50 guys, and let’s say half of them are on defense. At the rate of one getting knocked out for the season every ten days, that will mean that by mid October we’ll be down to just Jerod Mayo and Junior Seau’s cell number. Which is still better than we made out last year. Paging Jason Taylor.
didn’t take long. he went down faster than Manzo’s mom.
Who? Jerry? He loves going down.
The patriots are the only team in professional sports with injuries!
Why is everyone against this Dynasty??!!

Casey I’m glad your boss gave you a break from sucking down hipster throat yogurt behind the Jay Street Borough hall stop in Brooklyn to join us today. You must had done a great job to get the time off and for him to give you that extra half-hour to use the library computer.
Twir,
you’re retarded. PUT THE LINK IN YOUR NAME, no need for that anymore with the new site.
end of random hate
itsmurda unlike you sheep, i do not feel compelled to support a team because they are my “hometown” and everyone else is doing it. That is far too easy I am currently in Mass and do not live anywhere near NY, I am just able to think on my own and not follow the crowd try it sometime it is liberating!!
Casey, your a modern day maverick rebelling against society and it’s constraints. I can hear you singing your battle cry now “Fuck homerism, fuck loyalty, fuck the sheep.” (as you get arrested bestiality). I guess you really are liberated from rational thought.
Huh? formulate your thoughts then make a statement you jackal!
For the life of me I still can’t understand why they didn’t take Connor Barwin out of UC. Tremendous upside, excelled at TE, LB and DE and played on the basketball team. Just an all around athlete who fit the Patriots mold. BB doesn’t make a lot of mistakes but that was a big one.
