I was kind of surprised to read these comments. I actually thought Hobbs would be pissed that he was traded, but he seems to have no hard feelings....
“That we’re all a bunch of jerks, starting with the head man, Bill," said Hobbs. "Bill will be the first to tell you he comes off as a jerk, intentionally. Because, I think, what he tries to manifest throughout the players is that we’re here for football.
“There’s so much going on – the circus in the media and all that stuff, and the hoopla in the NFL these days – it’s hard to keep the focus on the game. I think that’s why they have everything so distinguished, set apart from everything, as far as the organization away from the players. Where there’s only access for the players on the lower level -- the players and the coaches. And I think by him doing that, it kind of sets the tone, and let’s you know that we’re here to play football and win games (Boston.com).”
I very rarely question a move that the Patriots make, but I have to say I hated this trade. Hobbs is not a #1 CB, but I don't think you could sit here and tell me he would not be a great nickleback. He is also one of the best return men in the league, and we trade him away for 2 5th round draft picks. Sorry, I just really never got that trade. The Patriots have proved me wrong before, but that is at best a questionable move...
