While Richardson may indeed be injured, in truth if he wasn't injured he probably wasn't going to make the team. Therefore...him being injured is very good for the Patriots. You guys have to remember, this is a SuperBowl caliber team. There are very few rookies making this team. If we can protect a few till next year, it works out great for the long term.

It was more the timing...not the number...when they announced, Samuel was back, they also announced the cut of Patrick..sort of a one for one situation. IF they knew they were going to get an exemption for Samuel, the cut did not have to come then...that was my only point...timing. They did have to make 5 moves, not 6...as they had the AS exemption.

He wasn't going to make the team? He was playing with the first team defense on Friday. I think they liked him.

This is all as expected. It is actually good to see Richardson stashed away until next year.

It is also good to see us still considering Thomas for the active roster.

1) ANDREWS: You are 100% correct - Andrews not only makes this team, but is moving up quickly on the depth chart. Watch for him in dime packages this year. Note BB comments about him, he spoke somewhat glowingly of his effort and leap from last year to this year.

2) MILLS: Strange situation here, he is going to be cut, I am certain of it, he will be that very rare player that will basically be cut because he will be out positioned, yet here is a guy that really doesn't even have a position, but he is out positioned at all of them (TE, FB, ST).

3) LUA: I think he makes the team, team comments have been favorable and his increased playing time from game to game is a very good indication.

4) ROGERS: See #3.

Reiss certainly agrees with you on all counts. I still can't see Lua. I have Caldwell instead.

Right, and they did - 3 to R/PUP, 1 to IR, and Patrick cut.

Thomas is hurt? Oh. Could you say Dave next time? These minor heart attacks add up you know.

I think Willie is a cool player/story, he is so small but he can play a decent physical saftey. he is versatile CB, ST, both Safety, even a little wide out.

under dog story for his draft status and size....go willie

That, I think, is pretty much how the official excuses work.
