What is interesting is that Gutierrez is active today...the Pats having 3 QBs...Hmmmmm Not surprised about any of the others..I wonder if they may use him on ST??

Didn't he actually spend time during the final pre-season game on kick coverage?

When was teh last time a team had 3 QBs active??? Hmmm I can not remember...a LONG time I am sure.. A LOT of teams do not even have 3 QBs on the roster...with Greene on the PSqd, the Pats have 4...

with Wilson out..im really hoping for Meriweather rotates in at Safety quiet a bit today.

to be honest..im not so "comfortable" with Sanders and Harrison covering deep versus speed guys like Moss and Randel El.

Gutt being active suggests to me that there are ZERO healthy scratches. No?

Britt or Yates both injured? Why would you NOT want to at least give yourself the option, just in case? They must be nicked up.

OR

BB wants the option to go to Guttierez or Cassel whenever he wants during the game???
