Report: Patriots to release Tully Banta-Cain 07.26.11 at 12:17 pm ET

Tully Banta-Cain

According to a tweet from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Patriots have informed outside linebacker Tully Banta-Cain that he will be released on Thursday.

This will end Banta-Cain’s second tenure in New England, and it comes after news that he had surgery last Friday to repair an abdominal tear.

A seventh-round pick of the Pats in 2003, the California product won Super Bowl rings with New England in Super Bowls 38 and 39, before signing with the 49ers in 2007. He was released in 2009 before catching on with the Pats once again. He had 15 sacks over the last two seasons. His 10 sacks in 2010 led the team.

    Let’s be clear, Tully Banta-Cain hasn’t exactly been a “pass-rusher” extaordinare for the Patriots. In fact, approximately 80 percent of his sacks came against the Buffalo Bills, so when one really looks at the numbers, he or she may ask, “why the heck is this guy here, and what’s he really do if he doesn’t sack the quarterback?

    Hey Tully might be a “good-guy,” but he’s a lousy “pass-rusher.”

    I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Great work!

    I have been browsing on-line more than three hours as of late, but I never found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is beautiful worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content material as you did, the web will likely be a lot more useful than ever before.

Anyways, very good site!

    naturally like your web site however you need to test the spelling on several of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very troublesome to tell the reality nevertheless I will certainly come back again.

    It is after 8PM bedtime.

  • Gman

    Yeah they lost because of 2 bogus penalty calls. Peverly made a clean check and got called for tripping. Chara barely touched someone with his stick and he got called for hooking. Meanwhile, the annointed Ovechkin slashes Marchand and there is no call.

  • Anonymous

    Great point TOM!! How long did it take you to come up with that insightful post!!! What the hell is wrong with you???? Scum???? Really???? Goback to whatever planet you came from weirdo!!

  • Fab4ever

    Come on man…blaming the referees is SO lame….make that a capital LAME! This team has been running on fumes for over a month now. The trend is as apparent as the end of your nose. They wilt, they wilt late and they wilt often. If that’s too tough for you to digest, you need to run from this team. It isn’t 2011. They have no mojo. Nothing. Frankly, they might even be boring…pretty tough in the NHL. I expect nothing from them in the playoffs and neither should you. I love the Bruins but this edition has probably disappointed me more than in recent years. Referees? Please.

  • Tom’s father

    I’ve been trying to get him back home….he broke off his leash that we had attached to the box car we converted into living space for him…he suffers from MIDS…”Multiple I D Syndrome”…Pfizer is developing medication for it…it’s tentatively called “Trollagra”…but it has yet to pass the feds tests…if you see him on the streets, you can’t miss him…his knuckles are more than likely bleeding from dragging them on the pavement…he’s wearing a Antoine Walker Celtics jersey and Batman pajama bottoms…

  • tom

    Bruins and Celtics are waste to life

  • tom

    Too bad Pierce and Garnet do.not break there legs so we do not have to watch those rejects who suck

  • Dick Dorkins

    C’mon buddy you almost have it, one more try and maybe we can get a sentence written at a 6th grade level down on the paper

  • Dick Dorkins

    Bad calls happen, when you’re referred to as the best penalty killing team in the league you’re supposed to survive them.

  • NYCBruinsFan

    Loved the first two periods. Great seeing Lucic wake up from his hibernation, but you can see it all happen before it plays out. Bruins can hardly kill a penalty without Chara on the ice. As soon as he’s called for a penalty, they should just give the other team a goal. The calls against them were fair enough, it just kills me to see them blow a 2 goals lead in the third. While I try to keep the faith, I’m concerned these guys aren’t going to go to far in the playoffs unless something dramatically changes. DJ, I’m pretty sure you can’t say Tuukka’s getting HOT after allowing three goals in under 15 minutes, especially with two shots from the point.

  • NYCBruinsFan

    I’m desperate for them to beat Ottawa tomorrow so they’re paired up against the Islanders in the Playoffs. That way I can head out to Long Island to see the B’s play at least twice more this season. It’s been a tough season for us NY Bruins Fans with only 3 times this short season the Bruins have made it to the NY/NJ Metropolitian area. Go Black and Gold.

  • NYCBruinsFan

    I have to wonder how much rest Claude needs to give our new 7th Player winner and what tonight’s outcome would have been if the decision was made to rest Chara before going into the playoffs. Thoughts anyone?

  • Titletown1

    I’d like to say that I have a good feeling about Rask in the post-season, but I don’t. He gives up way too many rebounds and seems to lose concentration from time to time giving up soft goals. No way this guy deserves big money.

  • Uncle Buck

    Well, at least Lucic is awake. All bets out the window for the playoffs. Not feeling confident with this group. Not sure what went wrong, but they are derailed.

  • mike

    Bruins suck

  • sbruce

    pauliespad, couldn’t agree more!! Pathetic display these past few weeks by a team that seems tired, disorganized and overmatched by nearly everyone they play. The B’s are likely one Stanley Cup Series and D-O-N-E! So sad…

  • Baker

    Start with Bergie? WTF are you talking about, he and the rest of that line are about the only redeemable/lovable part of this team. Start wit Lucic, he’s slow, uninspired, and a detriment when on the ice. Bench him for the playoffs and then get his @ss out of Boston!
