According to the Boston Globe (they still exist?) rookie linebacker Tyrone McKenzie will miss the upcoming season due to a torn ACL is his right knee. McKenzie was a 3rd round draft pick out of the University of South Florida. Belichick was a huge fan of McKenzie due to his great character and what he's been through in his life to get to this point. It's not often you hear BB talk so glowingly of a player, especially an incoming rookie. By all accounts, he was in line to receive some playing time at the OLB position and this is certainly a loss for a defense that needs an influx of youth at outside backer. Hopefully he'll be able to use this as a red shirt type of season, and get ready to make an impact in 2010.
Regardless of the injury there are still Jason Taylor rumors. I'd love to see ol' 99 in a Pats uniform next year. With the trade of Vrabel there is a definite need for a pass rushing outside linebacker. I guess we'll have to wait and see what shakes out.
