Otis won't probably make the team, or will be a backups backup. He is 52 years old.
I think the Dillon thing is big. They have alot of leadership on the Pats to keep him in line and winning seems to make guys act a bit better. Even at that, I don't think Dillon was ever considered a TO or Randy Moss type... I think he played on a sucky team that didn't seem to want to get any better. So he spouted off about it a few times.
He's not the greatest guy, but I don't think he's the worst. For a second rounder? I think its worth the risk. Its a definited upgrade and I know ya all are the champs, but the Pats margin for victory is slim. This is a big improvement to the offense and will take some pressure off Brady.
Also frees them up in the draft. Its a good move.
And they kept him from the Raiders. As a Broncos fan, though I'd have rather seen him in the NFC, not on the Raiders is cool. The Broncs are loading up on defense, which is good.
I was initially freaked about dealing Portis, but he was asking for nothing less than to be the highest paid RB in the league. They tried to give him some good money even though he had 2 years left on his deal, but he wanted it all.
As good as he is, I don't want that type of attitude. I like the Pats model. Good guys, play hard, team first. That's what they seem to be stressing now which is good.
