"But I have a belief in myself, and I am pretty sure the organization believes in me.

They put me out there and gave me a start, and each time I am getting out there on the field I suspect I play well and attempt to show what I will do and show I could be a starter.". The Patriots thought Seward could start when they approached him right after free agency started in March. "I was making an attempt to keep things in perspective" Seward related. You have come in in the regular season when blokes have got hurt and played well. And then special groups, you have been a monster, and we think you have beginning potential."'. He ultimately re-signed with Carolina, then observed the Panthers take linebacker Dan Connor in the 3rd round of the draft. Seward went from dreaming of beginning with the Patriots to wondering if his job as Beason's backup in Carolina was in jeopardy. We've eleven linebackers, and they'll potentially draft a linebacker in the 1st 3 rounds and sure enough they did" Seward related. He's a great price pick, and he's a great linebacker too. Filling in for the wounded Beason Sat. , Seward made an instant impression. On the 2nd play from scrimmage, Seward burst thru the middle and tackled running back Joseph Addai for a 4-yard loss. On the following possession he intercepted Jim Sorgi and returned it fourteen yards to the Indianapolis ten. The 3rd time the Colts got the ball, Seward and Charles Godfrey mixed on a third-down sack that held them to a field goal. "He did a good job" coach John Fox announced. He started a game for us 2 years back. I believed he probably did well operating in there in Beason's absence.". He played in just 4 games as a rookie before wounding the same foot he hurt at UNLV that lead him to fall in the draft. After beginning 2 games in 2006, he missed 5 games last year with a calf injury. He was sidelined earlier in coaching camp with an intestinal injury. Seward recognized the Patriots were leery about the foot, but he swears he's fine after the 2005 surgery. Now Seward is keen for this season -- even if it is not in a Patriots uniform. "It was a great experience going to New England" Seward expounded. Learn the way to protect your youngsters, and what to do when they are hurting.
