Who will the inactives be??? - New England Patriots Forums

RB Green-Ellis, OL Ohrenberger,OL Simmons,TE Mathews, LB Mayo, DL Wilfork or Sands or Brace, DB Wheatley, S Lockett
I am assuming Welker will play, Mayo will not...the two lineman are pretty easy and unless maroney does not play, Green-Ellis will remain inactive. Mathews was needed last week with more of a running game; not this week. If Wilfork plays, then Sands will not, unless they think he will be a better fit. One will be inactive. Wheatley played as Wilhite was out and Lockett will be the one that sits...unless they think he will be better than Slater. If Welker is out..one of the above will be added to the 45.

I'm gonna say Matthews and Wilfork play. If Sands gets the nod over Brace... ugh.

Brace will be "active", then... not play. There's a guy people seemed excited about. He may yet pan out, but Wilfork - though not starting - did play early on in his rookie year before becoming the starter once the veterean NT left for more cash.

I suspect inactives will include : Wilfork, Mayo, Sands, BJGE, Lockett, Orhnberger... maybe two of Slater-Matthews-Welker-Simmons ? Who knows... the Pats' 45 is one of the great weekly mysteries of the world !

I'd love to see Simmons active tomorrow. We need some depth on the OL to try to take the fight to Ngata and Gregg and wear them down a little. Otherwise, we're not going to run the ball with any effectiveness.

Who will be inactive if Mathews plays?? I sense they are going to throw the ball more than run..so that is why I think they will keep him inactive. Brace was active and did not play...I see no problem with Sands over Brace..if he will add that much more. Brace is young and it's not a big deal that he's slow in getting it all. Pryor surprised many jumping over Brace.

I think I just saw a ticker on ESPN that Wilfork and Welker are inactives. Too bad that my girl changed the channel before I could rewind it.

Just curious as why WIlfork and Sands will be inactive..two...that leaves only 5 active linemen...with Brace a DNP from last week. If Lockett is out Slater will be in..for sure. Hoping that Welker is playing...

Unless there is a special announcement, the inactives will not come out till 2 or so hours from now. Maybe it's more of a guess...I hope it's not true as that is a bad scenario.
