Confused about the 53rd Roster Spot - New England Patriots Forums

***R_T26*** · 09-07-2010, 08:10 PM

Pats were at 53 (sans Ojikama) then cut McKenzie who was apparently cut to make room for Maneri. But Rappaport's recent article says Maneri is on the PS squad. Someone clarify.

I meant
Ojinakka (damn iPhone)
Anyways i know mckenzie is on the ps squad but he was released for Maneri apparently but Now it's reported maneri is on the ps squad leaving only 52 players.

Drives me crazy reading posts about the 53rd roster spot.

I like this question better ... how many different faces will occupy the 53rd spot.

I didn't know you guys got Tracy White. He spent a couple years with the Packers, and I can tell you the guy is a special teams ace on punt/kick coverage. You'll see him in on pretty much every tackle. He even caused a couple fumbles. You'll like him.

If we have 52 then maybe Mankins is not listed as exempt.

Anyway to find out, sans wiretapping?

Also, is Jarrad Page clear to play game 1 or is/was he in Mankins boat?

Any chance he can cover TEs?

OL Maneri was claimed on waiver from the Texans so he is on the 53. I imagine he'll take over Connolly's old spot on special teams. He's athletic and strong.

I think you mean Ojinnaka??

Pats are at 52 now, but will be at 53 after week one when Ojinnaka returns.
