Is Hernandez getting arrested good news for Brandon Ford?


Jun 26, 2013, 12:02 PM

Gronk is hurt and Hernandez is gone. Could see some playing time!

Arrested? Not necessarily. Released? Definitely!!


Jun 26, 2013, 12:06 PM

I think they'll try to make Tebow play some TE in camp but you gotta like Ford's chances!!

No way Tebow plays TE. So many more FA's and college guys that are way more qualified than him to play the position. Just leave Tebow as a 3rd string QB. I definitely think Ford gets a shot.

Yea, I believe people are getting ahead of themselves believing that Tebow, who is a good athlete, is going to be able to all of a sudden change his position and be able to perform at an NFL level.

Plus, won't Gronk be back?


Jun 26, 2013, 2:39 PM

Seems like he'd be the starter. But it would be great to see a Tiger get a real shot with a strong NFL squad like that.

Cold response...I know Brandon would not want playing time because of an arrest.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

hernandez may have killed someone, and you think brandon


Jun 26, 2013, 12:48 PM

would mind taking his roster spot and playing time ?

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I think you missed the point. It's not that Hernandez got


Jun 26, 2013, 12:58 PM

arrested, it's that another man was killed.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

If he meant that why didn't he say:


Jun 26, 2013, 1:00 PM

"I'm sure Brandon wouldn't want playing time because a man was killed"?

Jun 26, 2013, 1:39 PM

I think people are just averse to using the phrase "good news for _____" due to the circumstances that a person is dead.

I believe the best way of phrasing the original question would be "Does Aaron Hernandez's arrest present an opportunity for Brandon Ford?".

It absolutely does.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'm sure Brandon will take playing time any way he can


Jun 26, 2013, 12:53 PM [ in reply to Re: Is Hernandez getting arrested good news for Brandon Ford? ]

It's not like Hernandez has medical issues. He is somehow involved in a man's murder. Relax

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

i've got to know, do you feel worse for hernandez getting


Jun 26, 2013, 2:57 PM [ in reply to Re: Is Hernandez getting arrested good news for Brandon Ford? ]

arrested, and quite possibly spending the rest of his life behind bars, or better yet, getting the death penalty, OR do you feel worse for the guy that has already been given and has gotten,the death penalty!

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Good news for him and Tebow.***

Good news for the whole Patriot roster


Jun 26, 2013, 12:50 PM

Their chances of being murdered by a maniacal teammate just went down significantly

Re: Is Hernandez getting arrested good news for Brandon Ford?


Jun 26, 2013, 1:51 PM

I can tell you, living in New England & seeing the Boston papers & news every day, I have not even seen 1 thing about him yet. They have talked about at least 5-6 guys behind Gronk & AH that will be next in line for playing time, a couple I have never even heard of.
Not looking good so far, but a strong impression at camp will do wonders...it would be great having a standout Clemson guy on the Pats. I will definitely post if I see anything develop. GO TIGERS!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'm not sure what the rest of the pats roster looks like


Jun 26, 2013, 2:18 PM

But at a glance I'd say yes. Brandon is more of the TE that Hernandez was. He's a threat down the seam that the pats need to take the top off of defenses because they don't have big play WR's. Ford, in that role, wouldn't be asked to block much. Gronk is more the all around TE that is in on every play. Hernandez played much more like a WR and got downfield which I would say is more of Ford's forte. I think this certainly opens a doors for him to be on the field for a significant amount of snaps assuming the Pats don't seek out another FA Tight End.
