Or, shown another way (rookies in blue, 2009 rookies in red, UDFAs from those classes in italics):

Thanks for posting that, I've been trying to piece together who made the roster.


Any guesses for the practice squad? Obviously some of these cut players could end up elsewhere, and the Pats could also sign another team's players that have been cut too.

QB: Zac Robinson -- seems like it would make sense to keep a 3rd QB for the scout team, and as somebody who has at least seen the playbook for injury insurance.
RB: Chris Taylor, Thomas Clayton -- not sure of their PS eligibility, but with the contracts of all five roster RBs expiring this year, and three older guys at this position, it probably makes sense to have one RB on the PS.
WR: Darnell Jenkins, Buddy Farnham -- both had decent camps.
TE: Rob Myers, Carson Butler -- with Crumpler on the downside of his career, it would make sense to groom another player at this position.
OL: Ted Larsen, Rich Ohrnberger, Thomas Welch, George Bussey -- I'm guessing it would be two from this group, but which ones? These guys are on the bubble for the second time within 24 hours.

DL: With Love and Deaderick making the roster, there's nobody that was cut as a PS candidate - though that could change when Ojinnaka returns.
OLB: none at this time
ILB: Thomas Williams had a strong start to camp but seemed to disappear the last couple of weeks.
S: Sergio Brown, Ross Ventrone -- if the Pats needs another special teams player, Brown would be the first choice.
CB: DeAngelo Willingham


So now there's another roster watch: fifteen players looking for one of eight Practice Squad spots.

QB - I don't see the Pats keeping Robinson. He made Rohan Davey look like Randall Cunningham..

RB: I wouldn't be surprised to see the Pats go outside the organization for a RB.

WR: If Jenkins doesn't get signed by another team to their roster, I'll be surprised. The kid played his heart out and really showed he can do well in the league as a 4th WR.

DL: The Pats will probably go outside the organization for this. They tend to want to keep on around.

OLB: I could see the Pats going outside the organization

ILB: Not sure that Williams showed enough.

S: I wouldn't be surprised to see Brown signed by another team. Hopefully he'll stick around.

CB: Willingham was brought in last year, cut, and signed to the PS. He may or may not be headed back there.

OL: I was surprised at the Ohrnberger cut, though he did Ole a play that nearly got Hoyer killed when Alford blew by him.

I'd be kinda surprised to see Robinson back on the PS. He didn't look like he anything close to NFL QB armstrength in the preseason.

My guesses:

Jenkins, Larsen, Welch, Bussey and Brown. The rest will be pick-ups from other teams. It also wouldn't surprise me to see either Love or Fletcher cut in the next few days and replaced by a vet and then resigned to the PS.

Yeah, I believe I'll adjust my assessment of Robinson. The Pats had only two quarterbacks on their 53-man roster last year with none on the practice squad, so they have a precedent for going with only two QBs on their 61-man team.


By the way, here is a list of the players that began 2009 on the Pats' practice squad:

TE Robbie Agnone
OT Patrick Brown
DT Titus Adams
DT Adrian Grady
DL Darryl Richard
WR Terrence Nunn
WR Isiah Stanback
CB DeAngelo Willingham

If I'm not mistaken Stanback and Willingham were pickups that were cut by another team, while the first six players spent training camp with the Pats.

Out of that list, I really don't see Jenkins making it back to the practice squad. At the very least, the guy has speed and I can see a coach out there that truly believes he can make him a better route runner. It wouldn't shock me to see the Raiders take a look at him. It wouldn't shock me to see Sergio Brown return for a shot at the practice squad.

I hope Cunningham is a player from day one, and Brace's brief moments of glory were not just flashes in the pan. Otherwise, this defense has the potential to really, really suck.

I trust the scheme, Deus...so if the youngsters can pick up how to play the BB 3-4, the PATS SHOULD PEAK LATE, LIKE THEY ALWAYS USED TO...(sorry for the caps)...in any event, I'd rather watch a youngster make mistakes than watch Burgess make like a ghost...
