As second-year inside linebacker Tyrone McKenzie spoke with reporters after Tuesday’s practice he grasped his helmet in his right hand.

Inside the helmet was the coach-to-defender communication device given to the leader of the defensive huddle, which likely reflects the large role McKenzie will be playing in the Patriots’ season finale against the Giants on Thursday.

Well someones has to do it but I hardly think it guarantees him a spot on the 53 with that said I hope makes it.

I always thought the suggestions of him getting cut were kind of ridiculous.

I'd say it's a clear sign of BB's confidence in him. Looks like he "gets it." Remember how often people would say how hard it is for a LB to grasp BB's defense?

One thing is for sure. There is less chance that McKenzie will be cut now that the NFL is investigating the Spikes video thing. If they sit him down for a few weeks, it would be nice to have McKenzie to fall back on.

Why would they sit him down for a past transgression???.. if they do this whole thing is getting ridiculous...

He was not bound by the moral code of the NFL when he was in college...

OTOH fully expected McKenzie to make this squad.

Agree on both points.

I can't believe Goodell is wasting his time with this. What's his agenda?

If Spikes was to be sat because of something in the past, shouldn't Reggie Bush get the same, for a much larger incident?

Isn't it strange that Patriots would have loved to have someone like McKenzie as the starting ILB when they had Monty Biesel and Chad Brown getting over powered ? Now the guy may not make the team because he is not good special teamer.
