Hill was at practice and can't be PUPed, Harrison can't be PUPed, Smith defintly can't be PUPed.
Good point, I remember that now. Hill practiced the first couple days before getting injured.

Why so tough? Last week you needed only 6 DL's and you've added Sullivan. Shouldn't LeKevin go to the Practice Squad?
Smith to the PS seems like a reasonable proposition... I could be convinced of that. I dont like cutting rookies that look legit unless they look like duds.
Partly, the rationale is that we have to put 5 players on Inactive any given week, and instead of wasting that spot on a player like Kight, I'd rather use it on a guy with long term upside.
From a roster perspective, my reason for keeping 3 NTs is because I suspect we'll be playing more 4-3 than we did last year. Seau is no sure thing, and the depth behind Bruschi is paper thin... actually, it's entirely translucent. Net-net, one more interior lineman guy, and one less LB seems reasonable.
I cant believe I put Sullivan at OG in my original post. Of course, I meant Stevenson. I figure Mruc is safe on the Shadow Roster, and Stevenson has OC/OG flex too. When in doubt, invest in the future. Again, as the #8 OL he's likely to be inactive every week-- in which case, we may as well take the guy who cost us a draft pick and give that investment an opportunity to pay off for us.
The next fun thing is to decide who the standard 5 inactives are going to be on any given week.

Nice try wasn't it! Tough choice between Cobbs, Mincey and Stevenson. Mruczkowski spent most of the season unemployed until the Pats called and I think they can do that again. Cobbs and Evans have done everything asked of them it would be ashame if either were cut. Cobbs has been the surprise of the Pre-season games. I have also been impressed with his willingness to block and pick up the blitz. I think he will get scoffed up by a team needing a third down back.
If Pass comes back that will make the decision at RB very difficult. I womder how much that fumble when he tweaked his hamstring will effect his roster spot this year.

Egads, I didn't have my PUP rules right. Trying to throw the extra names on PUP was just a cop out anyway. Here's my list for the OPENING DAY D minus any qualifiers-
Now for my qualifiers- Wilson really counts as both a CB and a S, that's why I only kept 4 CB's. Vrabel plays both in and out upon Bruschi's return thus only 4 OLB's, though I am starting to feel Mincey makes this team over Klecko who I don't list on the D since I have no idea where he'll play, but he makes the team if Mincey doesn't. That would put 26 on the D, to go with 24 on O, and Paxton, Miller, and Gostkowski.
