Anyone heard anything about him lately? I believe it's after game 6 that a decision must be made on any PUP'ers, which I think is what he is listed as.

I believe Reiss made mention of seeing him in the locker room or halls and that it would be indication of his being around trying to learn what he can for the potential moment when he can be activated.

At the end of Week 6, the Patriots have 3 weeks to decide whether or not they would allow him to practice. Once he starts practicing, the Patriots have 3 weeks to either put him on the active 53 or IR him. At any point in the cycle, the Patriots can IR Cannon.

Yes, he's on PUP. We and the media have no info whatsoever.

Patsfans has a poster Jack Bauer who shall we say has his ways of extracting fingernails, I mean information, from the tight lipped. We'll see if a Croatian Warlord can be made to talk. I have my doubts.

Exactly right. (Although do you know if the bye week affects things?)

The Patriots must make a decision on Cannon, Brace or Deaderick (active roster/IR/cut) at some point between week 7 and 12 but they've got a lot of flexibility about when they must do so.

I wonder if Cannon can play center? Certainly he has had enough advance notice (Koppen got hurt in what week one?) that it is a need. I think that Connelly has done a very good job at center, but Cannon could be an upgrade.

Of course, asking a rookie to play center might be a little too much to ask (center has to make line calls for blocking assignments). I think that Waters has more than held up at guard, and if nothing else, having antoher guard would be nice.

If you use Lester as a comparision, he was OK when he first came back, but the difference a year later was night and day.

What is more interesting is that Brace/Deaderick came come off the PUP list on October 17th and the trade deadline is Oct. 18th. Plenty of teams could use a defensive tackle......

BradyFTW!

A 350 pound center would be pretty unorthodox, to say the least. Connolly's done very well at center (this coming from a guy who wasnt a huge fan of him at guard last year), but with his moving there, backup guard is now a major issue. If Mankins or Waters gets hurt, we could be in trouble. If Cannon plugs that gap, then I'll be more than satisfied with that.

ahah yeah and one of those teams is the patriots as mike wright and pryors health has hurt our plans some what.

I have very high hopes for Cannon as a guard. Hopefully he can be our #1 LG/RG replacement and eventually take over from waters when he goes (in saying that his play has been great so far and i'd love to keep him on board)

Cannon can sit and learn. Waters has been the signing of the season for the Patriots.

Would hate to think where we'd be without Waters. I think his contributions has not been bragged enough.
