So far, I've seen a lot of possible rosters, and they all show how tight roster spots will be. I've been keeping Excel spreadsheets every year since 2002 (with playres color coded as green-locks, blue-surprised if they don'tmake the team, and yellow-surprised if they do) and this year will be the toughest cuts ever. Lots of greens and more blues than 53

On my roster, Faulk isn't there, but I've seen that everyone else considers him a lock. I know BB really likes his work ethic and coachability, but I also know he favors cutting players a year too early rather than ayear too late.

At what point do we have enough pass catchers out of the back field to put Faulk's job in jeopardy? At what point, when push comes to shove, do you keep younger talent and jettison the old?

In Faulk's case, it is 2007, at least for me. Not to say he can't play, just that if Mills shows good stuff in pre-season games, and with Evans and Morris, I'd rather cut Faulk and use the roster spot elsewhere.

I don't think Faulk makes the 2007 team.

Faulk is an outstanding RB to use in shotgun formations.

Evans doesn't come close. Ditto Maroney. Mills, to our knowledge, isn't a ball-carrier at all.

I emphatically disagree with you.

Faulk is Like Troy Brown, His Value goes beyond his Numbers.

He is clutch player.

And nobody can read blocks off a screen pass better than this guy, not to mention how good he is on the draw play.

Simply Put, FAULK IS A PATRIOT in 07!!!

Oh God, not again...

Faulk has made so many big plays, I don't know why anyone would want him off the team. If anything, I hope he gets more touches than he did last year.

Irrelevant. (see WMG, AV, Givens, Law, Spires, Wasington, etc etc etc etc)

You are thinking with your emotions, not your head. You are also missing the point. Faulk is going to be let go. That is absolutely true.

The question is not whether he will go away, as will Troy and Seymour and Brady, the question is "When?"

For Faulk, I see no compelling reason that it might be this year.

Fumble-itis.

I assume he will make the team because he is a good versatile back. pass blocking pass catching sts draw plays .... come on the guy brings alot to the table. if your starter goes down he and evans could carry the load for a few weeks.

I think a better question is why would you want to cut him??


and I dont bye the fumbleitis arguement because yes he started of with a fumbling problem but he hasnt fumbled all that much in the second half of his career.

Faulk is practically as big of a lock as Tom Brady is.

He really doesn't fumble all that much anymore.

Edit: Signbabybrady - great minds think alike.
