Report: Pats reach deal with DT Leonard

This is another UDFA, so maybe our luck continues.

 

[shmessy]

Uh oh.........could that mean bad news on Mike Wright or Myron Pryor?

 

[DarrylS]

A Fresno State Product, interesting.. guess he and Logan have banged heads a few times..

 

[RobertWeathers]

Must mean that Pryor, Brace or Wright could be seriously nicked up and go on IR.

He has experience in RACs D so hopefully he'll pick up things quickly.

Don't like the sound of this one!

Interesting, but not really deserving of it's own thread...

AdamSchefter To help replace injured first-round pick Brandon Graham, the Eagles will sign former Patriots LB Derrick Burgess today.

 

[IllegalContact]

minor adjustments in order to be as stout versus the run as possible by playoff time. at this point, I think the pats may give some players a week off by inactivating them even though they could play.

Burgess? Really??? I thought he had been shipped off to the taxidermy shop.

 

[DarrylS]

Where is Adalius Thomas?? Find it hard to believe that no one picked him up..

 

[Mack Herron]

Pos:

Thick, strong two-gap lineman who clogs the middle of the field. Quick off the snap, stout at the point and rarely gives ground. Plays with a nasty disposition and works to get involved. Above-average athlete who makes plays down the line of scrimmage.

Neg:

Does not use his hands well, preferring to put his head down and bull-rush opponents off the ball. Looked poorly conditioned last year. Possesses just a short burst of speed and is only an average pass rusher.

Interesting from Rapoport:

"Ya know, Caserio seemed a little lukewarm on DL Eric Moore today, too. That was surprising. Maybe he goes..."

That is exactly what I was thinking, although I thought G. Warren was also banged up a good bit.

Don;t we already have DE Washington from Alabama on the PS?

The guy walks in and in 20 snaps nets 4 tackles, a sack and a FF and is cut? Would assume that they would give the kid another game.

Yeah, me too. I think Rapoport is out on a limb on this one.

Maybe I am just trying to be optimistic but it might just be the cumulation of three injuries at one spot and not neccessarily the severity of the injuries.

Wouldn't shock me, personally - we gave Crable a similar "audition" in the Pittsburgh, and the results looked similarly decent on paper. But on the film, they must've had problems with his technique, effort, etc.

 

[TheComeback]

I just signed this guy in Madden to the Pats not two days ago, to be Vince's backup. I have Brace at DE. I can read Belichick's mind.

Maybe he was being sarcastic?

 

[mgteich]

The DL is banged up. Even 7 roster spots (instead of the more normal six) seems to insufficient.

However, it seems that Leonard is competition for Love rather than Eric Moore. We certainly do need a backup for Wilfork.

 

[Patspsycho]

Even though he has been signed, there hasn't been a roster move.. yet... Reiss says Caserio hinted that there might be some roster movements soon.
