LeVoir to Start at RT for Ravens - New England Patriots Forums

...another man's treasure:

The Ravens announced the signing of LeVoir on Sunday, and by Monday afternoon's practice, he was taking most of the repetitions with the first offense. From all indications, the experiment of trying to pencil in rookie Jah Reid, the team's third-round pick out of Central Florida, as the starting right tackle for the season opener on Sept. 11 has ended.

Not sure why Pats cut him.....wasn't he an ex wrestler ala Neal ?

But will he be a GOOD starter?

How 'bout that! The debate over the claim that "the Patriots will be cutting guys who could start with other teams" is resolved weeks before the season even starts. QED.

Well, I know what side I'd be loading up on when I blitzed the Ravens.

Sounds like it might be more about the disappointing start for the rookie rather than LeVoir being some kind of super stud.

No doubt. But it still means that the Pats' #5 tackle is beating out the Ravens' #2!

Good for LeVoir; I've always liked the guy, been a fan since he crushed that Jets DB (Coleman?) on a screen to the point that the Jets were *****ing after the game about how it was unfair. Hopefully this means that Maneri is good enough enough to start for someone too

Okay, if the Patriots are THAT deep, who is on the probable cut list/game day inactive list that could net the Pats a 6th or 7th rounder? We now know our straight cuts can contribute to teams that expect to make a strong play-off push, so the bubble guys are probably able to do so as well.
