10 Open Spots: Roster Fights As Of Now - New England Patriots Forums

***mgteich*** · 08-17-2010, 10:40 PM

There are lots of decisions still to be made before the "final" cuts to 53. We then will look at all the cuts from other teams and likely cut a couple of more.

I see 20 players plus possible acquisitions fighting for the last 10 roster spots. For now, I presume that Mankins and Kaczur are gone. Technically, they move the total of possible in-house contenders up to 22.

PICK 2: Wendell, Ohrnberger, Ghiaciuc, Larsen
PICK 2: Morris, Taylor, Green-Ellis
PICK 2: Murrell, Ninkovich, Woods, Fletcher, Williams
PICK 2: Brace, Lewis, Deaderick
PICK 2: any of the above, Wilhite, Lockett, Brown, Slater, Alexander

Wilhite, Lockett (next in line Deaderick if BB wants to carry 7 linemen)

I have him on the bubble. I have Wheatley and Arrington as roster favorties (ahead of him and not on the bubble) at this point. But still, Wilhite may very well be the best value for our 52nd or 53rd roster spot. Having a player who the team has had start as our #10, emergency defensive back isn't a terrible situation. He's not one of our best four corners.

I don't think Wilhite will make the cut, and for the fans sake, I hope her doesn't! He could cause alot of hair loss!

What do you see in Larsen? I was initially intrigued by him as well, that is until I saw him play he was woeful (against 2nd/3rd stringers).

As a possible development project, so he might end up on PS instead. If he does, I reckon Wendell makes it instead.

why do you feel that way?

If Wilhite doesn't make the 53 I see a 10 to 15% decrease in the amount of posts on this site come regular season. It does appear from all we've read that he could be gone.
