Exciting news broke this morning in the Patriots universe. Today the Pats will work out both veteran safety Darren Sharper and veteran wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh. These two guys are seasoned veterans in the NFL and are widely respected at their positions.
I think Belichick is a genius when it comes to all decisions football. I think everyone in the NFL would agree with me on that statement, even Rexy in New York. Therefore, I tend to always look for the genius in every aspect of Belichick's decisions. It's not too hard too find it here. By adding veteran depth at as many positions as possible, Belichick is strengthening those positions in two ways. He's adding an additional player who can be relied upon to play smartly, but he is also adding a mentor for the younger players of that position. This mentorship makes the other players smarter and wiser. Belichick uses veterans to groom his younger players into future veterans themselves. And so the cycle continues. Genius.
Now none of this is said and done. It's very possible that Housh and Sharper come into Foxborough today, work out, and go right on home again tomorrow without a new Flying Elvis helmet. But I have a feeling that Belichick will grab at least one of them. This late into the preseason, Belichick isn't going to waste his time on unsure opportunities.
