Under the previous rules (which may or may not change), any player could be listed on PUP, and could remain there so long as he did not attend a single practice/workout (OTAs prior to pre-season didn't count).
thynx man. we could hide a few players like Ghost,Faulk, Crump, Cannon, Light, Tate w/ a knee excuse and whoever else... you could fake injuries a bit play it out. That hiding stuff is a game... I would no dare hide Hernandez, but a lot of others hell yeah.
Stashing players on PUP is a horrible idea. Not only do they not get training camp or practice, but they can't play until week 6. Who was the last player to come off PUP and be productive?
Seymour in 2007. :confused2:
That said, I agree with you. Why would anyone want to "hide" one of NE's better players just to make room for some guy who couldn't make the roster on his own?
As noted below, "hiding" players is a bad idea, since if they remain on PUP at the start of the regular season they can't even practice with the team until after week 6.
Crump might start on PUP if he's not fully rehabbed. Ditto for Faulk, and Cannon.
But I wouldn't PUP the others unless there is a clear health issue.
Cannon is another situation entirely. However, Cannon might as well practice and then be put on IR. He certainly won't be much use to the team in 2011 if he doesn't practice until Week 6.
So, for me, the PUP list should be used for exactly what it is meant for. If players are nbot physcially able to participate in practice or cannot pass the physical, then they should be put on the PUP list.
