Official Patrick Cobbs makes the team thread..... - New England Patriots Forums

Patrick has had a great pre-season thus far and Patrick Pass should be a little worried to make the roster. I hope this guy makes the team.

I'd be shocked if he got cut. In fact I expect him to get the bulk of the play next week also. You have to feel good for the guy. He never came to camp with the "woe is me, nobody drafted me" attitude, instead he came into camp very positive that he is a good back.

I dont want to see this kid in a Colts uniform so keep him. He could problably be better than Rhodes and Addai, LOL.

He plays hard and makes positive yards. He also seems pretty tough. I hope he makes the team. There are going to be some tough cuts this year.

Dillon, Faulk and Maroney are running the ball
Faulk and Maroney are returning the ball
They are going nowhere
---------------------------------
And then there is the blocking backs Evans and Mills (also #4 TE)
--------------------------------------------
What exactly will Cobbs do on the team, other than be inactive and hope someone gets injured?

I dunno. Keep him away from any rivals. He could be a really good player. Cut Pass?

***mgteich*** · 08-26-2006, 10:23 PM

Pass isn't making the team unless he beats out Evans as the fullback.

Does Cobb's success speak to the development of the O line? Just about every back is putting up numbers. This guy would be hailed as the second coming and have a starting job if he were playing for denver. If he is productive on special teams I think you have to find a way to keep this player.

Let's not repeat it this year with Cobbs.

Pass-you can't make the team from the trainers room.

Evans - good guy, steady performer, but Cobbs has much more of an upside. Beisdes, isn't Mills really slotted as a FB/TE? This would seem to eliminate Evans.

"waiting for someone to get hurt.." well, last year Dillon was hurt most of the year as was Faulk. Cobbs is young, runs hard and by making the team it would reinforce what BB says about judging players by their play. He's earned a roster spot in my mind.

Last year we did let a good RB get away by cutting him and thinking we could get him on the practice squad. Eckels would probably have helped during the Dillon and Faulk injuries. Instead he went with Miami and now is in limbo because of his military status.

Lets keep Cobbs. He's earned it.
