Left Behind

DE Jabaal Sheard must wonder what his future is with the Pats after they left him behind when they traveled to play the 49er's.

He will be a free agent at the end of the season. It doesn't bode well for him, especially because he was healthy. The word is that the coaching staff is not happy with his performance.

Fans will never know the real reason. Coach Belichick will mumble his way through any questions and say that the decision was made in the best interest of the team.
