Square peg round hole strikes again. Looks like DA has put a stop to that kind of **** at least.

All he wanted to do was make his career out of what he is use to doing which is bull rushing. Saints said no. Lose some weight, we need you to do this.

He refused because he is lazy in that aspect. He could have been an annual Pro Bowler if he would have adapted and learned new skills.

He achieved success but it could have been so much more. Rankins is a much better player IMO. He has more skills minus injuries. Even with the injuries, his highlights are more impressive. He has made some amazing plays. One was in coverage which is crazy.

The thing about Hicks is he didn't have the advantage of our DL coach; our DL and Lb coaches sucked. The talent was there but the developing was lacking.

But why did the pats ship him off to Chicago ? That’s what sealed the deal for me clowning the guy. Yes he’s been productive up there though have to say.

Realistically, what player not named Brady or Edelman do they ever keep in New England?

Hicks developed a respectful relationship with former Saints GM Ryan Pace (now GM with the Bears) while in NO so I can somewhat see why he decided to sign there.

Yep with drew Brees too, after he slammed him to the turf in his first game back to the dome.
