Target On Meriweather

Brandon Meriweather is the focus of attention this week as a result of his hit on Ravens WR Todd Heap. He faces a possible fine or suspension as a result of launching himself on that play.

Coach Belichick took him out of the game immediately and could be seen yelling at him on the sidelines. The next day on WEEI, Meriweather seem to make light of the situation which even captured the attention on NBC nightly news.

Meriweather is an overrated player. Ironically, the Pats drafted him in the first round in 2007 as compensation from the Seattle Seahawks in the Deion Branch trade.

Meriweather made it to the Pro Bowl last year after several safeties were unable to play. The Pro Bowl is becoming a joke with many players going there only to fill a vacant spot.

In a move to address a potential suspension, the Pats re-signed Ross Ventrone to their practice squad. Ventrone was with the team through training camp.
