Patriots Defensive Back Season Over

ESPN.com is reporting that Patriots defensive back Chad Scott will miss the entire 2007 season with an injured knee.  In true Bill Bellichick fashion, the Big Hoodie was telling the media only hours before the announcement that Scott’s season ending injury was “day to day.”  It appears he’s getting a head start on screwing with the media, perhaps in an effort to shake off all the rust from the offseason.

This creates a new wrinkle in the Asante Samuel holdout.  Samuel has yet to sign his one-year contract with the Patriots, threatening to hold out all the way until week 10.  The Patriots have long held a stance of team over the individual, and their recent history would certainly suggest that they will not start allowing any one player to jerk them around now.  However, if their defense begins to show signs of cracking, they may start getting a bit more creative with their dealmaking in an effort to get Samuel back on the field.  Time will tell.
