I Assume Faulk to IR? - New England Patriots Forums

Is it time to, dare I say, promote Shawn Crable?
I'm not comfortable with only 3 OLBs, especially when one should only be out there on a very limitied basis and another is a rookie who played zero preseason snaps.

Can he rush the passer?

That seems to make the most sense. A fourth RB is already part of the 53, so I can't see them promoting James at this point. The only other one that I can think of is Sergio Brown.

Who knows? I have given up trying to predict or understand all of the moves the team makes. I am sure that we will make a move that "helps the team".

RB. OLB, and CB in some order are surely the positions of most need.

At OLB I doubt there are realistic options other than Crable or Pierre Woods, given the nuances of the system.

can he pass the rusher?

Adding Crable or Woods to 53 makes sense to me. Woods played primarily run downs last year. I think that we could use the help.

the secondary needs help too. Is it time to call O.T.I.S ?

As long as they're happy that he is healthy/fit enough, then I agree.
