A good point , forgery doesn ' t quite sound right . Fraud by misrepresentation ? <| sep |> It just shows that the skill gap necessary to fit that scheme and position is less . No one would say Collins is a worse player then Van Noy . The difference is just that in THE PATRIOTS scheme , the value of a LB is easily replaceable for what they ask of you . There are still key positions on that defense that are far more important that couldnt be replaced . It ' s coaching yes , but it ' s less coaching up of a player per se as we traditionally see it , and more the scheme which makes players less relevant . Van Noy may look great in NE , but he would suffer elsewhere and that has nothing to do with that places ability to develop individual talent . Just like Jonas Grey and the laundry list of players who look like hall of famers in NE and then barely make rosters elsewhere .
