Andy Hart and Eric Scalavino discuss the position with the biggest question mark heading into training camp for Patriots Football Weekly.
Official Patriots Football Weekly Blog Blog Archive From the Hart: Role call! — OLB
Hart wonders if TBC can hold up as an every-down player, but has him locked in as one starter. He also thinks Cunningham will overtake Burgess as the other starter early on, with Crable not making the roster. Scalavino also has TBC and Burgess starting to begin the season, with somebody - not sure who - replacing Burgess at some point; he likens the position to RB, with a committee approach for the season.
The only thing I would add at this point would be to replace the term 'starter' with 'most reps', or words to that effect. It may not be unusual for the starter to get half the reps a non-starter does.
