BTW, nothing on Dowling, but I assume he is there because he was a gametime decision on Sunday.

Mankins? I hope it's just a coach's decision there. . . .

I don't worry about a player missing one practice. Since Moss typically missed Wednesday's practice even when healthy, I gotta think Wednesdays are defensive oriented. If Mankins misses tomorrow, then I will worry.

I just read an article that Hernandez may be back for the Oakland game... says he feels alot better.

I think we old him until Jets game but if he plays the Raiders game, I like it too

He's said that all along. BB makes that call, not 81.

He'll likely be ready for the Jets as you say.

Hoping that Vollmer doesn't have recurring problems like Kaczur had,those back injuries can hamper you all season.

 

[patsfan-1982]

Good news, Haynesworth is the only hope they have on defense hope Vollmer gets back soon he's there best run blocker

 

[TheSolderKing]

Patriots offensive lineman Logan Mankins did not participate in Wednesday's practice session due to illness.

Isn't chung playing with a cast on his hand. If thats true thats not good playing a darren Mcfadden who going to be tough to bring down with two hands, nevermind one hand.

Speaking of twitter, it appears our players have taken a break from it. Other than Spikes, Bodden has stopped completely for 4 days now, Ocho the same.
Bodden could tweet an average of 100 a day.
I hope Mankins is good to go and hope it is not the flu. I am becoming a bit worried about Vollmer.

DMC is universally getting full respect from Patriots fans so we agree. However Chung is the best safety we have so it's big to have him back.

Agreed. There's no debate here. DMC has become a great back.

 

[SeymourTrophies]

Chung is one of the few defensive backs in the league who actually wraps up on his tackles, so he shouldn't have much of a problem if he is unblocked.

 

[Calciumee]

Chung and Big Al being being back is a great thing!

Should help the D alot more!

With Big Al and Big Vince, they need to block them, hopefully allowing other to get to Campbell!

The reports i heard(are they accurate) is Chung is back with a cast on one of his hands. So if hes playing with one hand thats going toeffect his ability to tackle. Is that wrong?

Again nobody is arguing that Chung won't be 100% with the cast but 85% of Chung >>>>>>> 100% of Barrett, Brown, ETC. Chung is also really good at taking the backs legs out with his shoulder so the problem will mostly be if he has to reach.
