DaPatsKid98 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) Winovich obviously fell out of favor. Hmm. Alabama ties, wonder if this is an attempt to keep Hightower around? Edited March 15, 2022 by DaPatsKid98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaPatsKid98 Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 6’1, 233. Fifth round pick in 2019 with 163 tackles in 3 seasons, including 82 and a sack as a rookie. He was a 5 star player in the state of Alabama, committing to the Roll Tide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I like it. We have plenty of average edge players. We need middle guys. That is quite small, but we've been saying we need speed in the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m haynes Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) Well here the reason for the trade! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaV0tmSXLaw The 1st minute shows him on ST blowing up a KO and seconds later he's in the RZ offense as a FB, goes out a make a tremendous catch for TD. As to LB who know!!!!! ADDED I look at the comment section. Hard hitter and can cover in the passing game.

We're now at the stage where Browns fans are saying he's worthless, and Pats fans are saying Winovich is worthless haha. Truth will be in the middle somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 You’ll like his positive tweets! …But that’s it… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 What I gather: Pros: Only 23, came out of Alabama too young/undeveloped, plays special teams well, good in coverage, athletic Cons: Missed tackles, questionable effort at times, preoccupied with social media Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoleINGout Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Winovich deserved a better fit with coaches who would use him to his strengths more often. He can't play the run well and his pass rush is overrated but still effective enough to be useful as a substitute more often than he was with the Pats. Coverage-wise he is not very useful. Seems like a fair trade where both guys will get the attention they need with their new teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry we paid out $11.64M to teach him the Patriots way. BB two steps ahead, knowing the trade was coming! 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimmage Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I'm done worrying about these kinds of trades.. they are too small to worry about and I can't possibly say it's bad given BB's track record. I never thought anything when he got KVN and he turned into a great player here. This guy is young, faster than their previous LB's, better in coverage, great special teams.. maybe he carves out 200-300 snaps on defense and does well.. or maybe he is a special teams guy and that's it. They still need LB help but either way, he will play more defense than Wino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
