Yeah, and screw Minny over Mills.

It would be funny though and serve as a warning to other teams. Does Minny have a LBer they're cutting down to?

Don't think just 53... think 45.
That's the no. of actives each game, but the third QB doesn't count. So we keep Hoyer as part of the 46. He'll learn holding a clipboard and cost nada.

He can understand the offense, quickly. As a #3 QB he should be competent .... his arm only needs to be accurate.

I meant it's too bad they signed Fred Taylor. He's JAG at this stage of his career unfortunately. I hope I'm wrong.

Kind of too bad they signed Springs too...they'd have 4 good CBs w/o him. Has he even practiced this year?

Green-Ellis goes because keeping a 5th RB makes no sense in this offense and we have needs on defense. It might not be Green-Ellis who goes (outside shot of Morris), but we won't keep 5 backs on the 53.

Wendell and O'Callaghan are cut to give us 8 Olineman. I don't like going with just one backup tackle, but I think we keep 3 QB's on the active roster atleast until Brady's shoulder is a complete non-issue. Wendell and Connolly are fighting for one spot and I believe Connolly has more versatility. Wendell can't be active on game days if he only can play C (not saying that he can't play guard, just that we've seen more versatility from Connolly).

Crable and Alexander have the most tenuous roster positions on defense in my opinion. I could see Crable put on IR or released and Alexander released. If have a hard time seeing anyone currently on the Patriots roster taking ether's place on the 53, so if one or both doesn't make the team I hope their replacements are from other organizations.

With the injury history of both Morris and Mr. Dancing With the Stars - cutting Green-Ellis would be ridiculous.

Of course its not ridiculous. You can't keep players you won't use on the ASSUMPTION that there will be an injury. THAT'S what you are proposing and THAT'S ridiculous. Besides the fact it that should an injury occur at RB and BB wants to add another and Ben isn't available, there will be a half dozen RBs available JUST as good as BJGE

I beleive Green-Ellis is actually BETTER than Maroney. I've given up on that player - and I have no doubt that if what the Hobbitt said was true - he was talking about Maroney.
