The New England Patriots sign fullback Lousaka Polite

Found December 27, 2011 on Patriots Locker:
PLAYERS: Lousaka Polite
TEAMS: Miami Dolphins,  New England Patriots

Cf
The Patriots have signed 30-year old fullback Lousaka Polite.  Polite played in 16 games (10 starts) for the Dolphins last year and he carried the ball 26 times for 62 yards (2.4 ypc) with 1 TD run.  He also caught 12 passes for 61 yards (5.1 avg) last year.  Polite has now played in 75 games (27 starts) in his first seven years in the NFL and he has carried the ball 95 times for 296 yards (3.1 ypc) with 1 TD run.  He has also caught 41 passes for 233 yards (5.7 avg) with 1 TD grab in his NFL career.  Polite is a good lead blocker, so he will likely only be playing in short yardage situations for the Patriots.

Belichick has instead opted for positional versatility...

Via The Rap Sheet  |  December 26, 2011
If you want a straight answer, go to guard Brian Waters. The Patriots veteran post-training camp acquisition has been a sound locker room leader, always able to diagnose the positive and negative clearly.
