45 Man Game Day Roster versus KC - New England Patriots Forums

***cstjohn17*** · 09-05-2008, 06:31 PM

Likely bench warmers
QB - O'Connell (Emergency)
TE Benjamin Watson (knee)
C/G Dan Connolly (knee)
C/G Russ Hochstein (groin)
DL Le Kevin Smith (knee)
WR Sam Aiken (knee)

Then pick 2
Jones, Ventrone, Smith, Wilhite, O'Neal, LeVoir, Slater

The lack of depth on the O Line jumps out.

OK...Snith?? Kenny Smith?? Who is IRed..or a new Smith? It will not be LeViur,,THAT is certain..7 lineman needed...and only VeVoir and Britt...unless a move is made.. Crable comes to mind as a possibility..maybe Meriwether is his leg is ailing..OR Wilhite..(who is a sold ST player..) If O'Neal can return punts..maybe Jones..but??

I was thinking of Le Kevin Snith... 7 is not of O line but who the hell is LeVoir anyway?

We suit up seven OL's. Hochstein will likely suit and be the interior line backup, with Britt backing up at OT.

CJ Jones for sure. Who is this other Smith that is not LeKevin? Since I don't know who they are and I follow the team pretty closely, I say him.

Ventrone is also a candidate.

O'Connell (3rd QB)
Watson
Aiken
Connolly
LeVoir
Le Kevin
Ventrone or CJ (I'll vote Ventrone with CJ taking punt return duties)
Wilhite or O'Neal (I'll vote Wilhite and throw O'Neal to the wolves)

I agree that is preferable...but if Hoch is out?? It will be LeVoir....With Hoch as it seems one of the given out..it WOULD be LeVoir..(worst case I think..) Hoping Russ is ready...

Why do people think Ventrone or Wilhite and not Crable when he's not that much of a teams player???

***mgteich*** · 09-05-2008, 09:39 PM

O'Connell, Smith, Watson, Connolly and Aiken seem clear.

I have Levior inactive with Hochstein active.

The final two usually depend on game plan. I'd guess Wilhite and Crable, presuming that Belichick thinks Guyton is as good as you all think. My personal last two would be Guyton and Wilhite.

Gut feeling on my part. I think Crable is going to get meaningful snaps in sub formations. If I'm wrong and Crable is just the #4 OLB behind Woods, then he very well might be inactive.
