Re: Obviously something's up, the P-Squaders are en-route to Cali.
The article was just updated:
Quote:
3) Practice squad players en route. The Patriots have their eight practice squad players, who normally don't travel to road games, joining the team for practice starting tomorrow. [update 8:15 p.m. The practice squad players also traveled on the last trip to the West Coast.] Given the injury situation, the Patriots certainly need the bodies. With Vince Wilfork (shoulder) and Ty Warren (groin) ailing, a player like practice squad defensive lineman Titus Adams is likely to see more practice reps. Players are off today, with their first practice of the week scheduled for tomorrow.
Maybe Reiss was reading this thread recently?

Re: "maybe" something's up, the P-Squaders are en-route to Cali.
They ARE part of the team....I was more or less sure they went last time...they are PART of all practices...the ONLY time they are not with the club is traveling to a game...
Re: "maybe" something's up, the P-Squaders are en-route to Cali.
It sounds to me like these players are forming some sort of a squad and travelling out to meet the team on the west coast - perhaps so that the team can practice against them.

well let's see, maybe the pats think they should practice alot considering their defense is half new and we just got colvin and seau last week. so doo we wear out colvin and seau out during practices when they are probably sore as heck this week or do we bring in the full practice squad and wear them out?

But what shall we call them? Any suggestions?
The "practice" squad is not a team that plays against the regulars. Its just extra bodies for the practices to take some reps from the vets.

i guess people would have kind of figured that out since there are only 8 of them and even if they played offense and defense there still wouldn't be enough

Re: For certain, nothing's up, the P-Squaders are en-route to Cali
The practice squad players are probably out with the team so they play there scout roles and maybe make for a lighter practice load for the starters. Plus given the injuries, the more time they can get with the playbook, the better.

This offseason, it's almost like Belichick is saying, "I'm never going to let that happen again."
