Oak trades Patterson to the Pats

BigBlueDownTheShore : 3/18/2018 6:49 pm
Unknown what was given up to get him. His career in the pros has not been very good after being chosen 29th overall.
He'll make the Pro Bowl with NE.

bank it.
OAK

making a ton of moves. Gruden changing the culture there and I bet it works out very well in 2018. They're coming.
His speed

Works for them.
His route tree won't, unless they buy his 1 trick.
Or just for kicks-----off.
Am I the only one who was thinking...

...who the hell is Patterson?
p.s.--Given such a common last name, Cordarrelle Patterson just isn't significant enough to be referred to only by his last name. I'm not kidding when I say that my first thought was, "Is Mike Patterson still playing?"

This. I think he is just a special teams guy for them. NE loves guys that are great route runners. That is the exact opposite of what he is. I truly doubt he has any impact on offense unless he is running reverses or verticals to clear out the underneath zones.
Better than me

I thought Elvis Patterson for a split second.

They already have Phillip Dorsett for that role
Maybe purely for special teams?

Matthew Slater is rumored to be joining the NE exodus.

He's been a pro-bowl special teamer (7 times), not returning, but as a gunner.

Patterson had been effective in that role I believe in MIN, not sure what he did in OAK.

Special teams specialist and gadget plays elite skills the kid has talent not sure why he has not taken even a small step forward on regular offense.

No offense Sy, but how can you really use this as a basis to thunk that? He is a returner and a 4th WR......thats it! Id be shocked if Gruden gets more than a 5th for him.

And when was Gruden ever the miracle worker? He was great in Oakland, then in TB he had '02....other than that, he pretty much stunk on ice.

The Shaun King thing...failed. Chris Simms...failed. He just wasnt that good a coach after '02.

I am not only talking about the Patterson move.

Amerson/Smith/Crabtree/Ellis/Nelson....all guys that are pretty good players that will not be back in OAK. All guys that don't have great reputations in the locker room. From what I hear, Lynch might be next.

Not calling Gruden a miracle worker at all, but I do think he is going to push the needle in the right direction for this team.
