Patriots release another highly drafted Wide Receiver

Remember this preseason when Taylor Price had 5 receptions for 105 yards and a TD and we all thought he’d finally be the first Belichick drafted wide out to actually stick? Well not so much. The Pats released Taylor Price today, and given their struggles to stretch the field with the proverbial deep threat when Price had the kind of speed needed to do it, leaves us all a bit disappointed. 

Beyond Deion Branch and David Givens the Patriots have never had success drafting wide receivers. Free Agency is still a viable way to collect receiving talent, but without a wideout under 30 who Tom Brady trusts it’s okay to wonder just what the Pats will do without Branch and Welker, both of whom are free agents after this year.

Why is it so hard for receivers to see the game like Brady does? And how long will it be before the pundits start to question if Brady is too demanding after yet another high round draft pick failed to gain his trust.

Taylor Price seemed like a good kid who worked hard, it’s unfortunate for both him and the Patriots that it didn’t work out. Now the spotlight turns to Tiquan Underwood and gasp, Chad Ochocinco.

Rapsheet: Belichick on how football teams progress

Must read alert! Some really great stuff from BB in this article. Here’s a nugget:

“You continue to build on your situation plays so you get third-and-goal on the 3, you start the year with one play or two plays, now you maybe have four or five plays, maybe a couple that you’ve used before but it’s been so long ago that it’s really not showing up on the breakdown so you can go back to them but in the meantime you have to keep adding to that,” Belichick explained. “So you get to the end of the year and then you start the next year and you think, ‘OK, where are we?’ Well we’re nowhere close to where we were in December or January – we’re just not. We’re starting training camp, we have new people, nobody has run these plays in six months. It takes you a period of time, even if you have some spring practices, still you’re just nowhere near the execution level. Now, they’re executing better at this time of the year too, I’m not saying that we’re great in December. We’re better in December, well so is everybody else. I think where your team is in September from an execution standpoint, what we can do now and what we can do in September are two different things.”
