Chung, Connolly, McCourty and Ochocinco Out for Eagles game

[ThePatriotWay]

realpatriots: Patriots announce 4 downgrades from Questionable to Out: Patrick Chung, Dan Connolly, Devin McCourty and Chad Ochocinco.

Looks like Wendell at center and a very thin secondary again.

Damn, our O-line is paper thin.

Actually, it's not paper thin. It's why they brought back Donald Thomas. He'll be the reserve center. And he's been with the team a good portion of the year. The Pats also have Nick McDonald on the practice squad and he's been there almost all season.

And the Pats got a boost last week from Cannon being ready to go. I don't know about you, but he looked very good at RT at the end of the game. He'll be the #3 G and either the #3 or #4 Tackle depending on Light and Vollmer.

Re: Patriots announce 4 downgrades from Questionable to Out: Patrick Chung,

So, the ones who will be out tomorrow:
Spikes, Fletcher, Chung, McCourty, OchoCinco, Connolly and Mallett. Still need one more.. My guess is that it will be Faulk again.. unless the Pats cut Underwood and promote Ventrone..

Hopefully that means that Light and Vollmer are healthy enough to play..

Re: Patriots announce 4 downgrades from Questionable to Out: Patrick Chung,

hopefully wendell won't get pushed back like connolly does.

is he a healthy scratch? paul perillo mentioned that it might be a matter of time before wendell takes over at center. if bb didn't IR koppen, he would have been ready by now.

Taylor Price, the time is now

Man, that Ochocinco injury hurts.....

Man, that Ochocinco injury hurts.....

with Branch also questionable with a hip injury, it does. even if he plays he'll be limited.

meaning ramped up snaps for Taylor Price/Edelman...which actually could be a good thing because price may give us something branch didnt

Re: Patriots announce 4 downgrades from Questionable to Out: Patrick Chung,

Damnit, I expect McCourty out one more time. Thought Chung would be back.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Re: Patriots announce 4 downgrades from Questionable to Out: Patrick Chung,

i think BB is right not rushing back mccourty or chung. even if the pats lose tomorrow, they should be able to win the rest of their games and go 12-4 at worst. all they have to do is win the division and they get an automatic bye.

I'd like to see a bit more Adams.

All they have to do is call Ross Ventrone over at the Monticello Motel in Natick and he will be ready to drive his pickup truck down to Philly.....

Why are people not freaking out about this? These injuries to the D seem terrible.

Oh, you mean the lack of ILB depth with Spikes, Fletcher, and Tarpinian all out?

Or the secondary catastrophe with Chung and McCourty being out again?

Maybe you are referring to the offensive line issues, where we have the 3rd string center, and at least one of two starting tackles out (with the other playing miserably anyway, due to his back issues)?

No, no, nevermind....I bet you mean the WR situation, where we basically have a doubled Wes Welker (limited in practice with 3 separate injuries in the past 3 weeks), a non-existent Branch (with his hip injury), and now Ochocinco out; along with Taylor Price and his 3 yearly snaps?

It's just another day on the injury front here. Nothing to get alarmed about.

Actually I was just referring to the LB and DB situation... but thanks for the pick me up!

Can these no-names keep winning? How?

Like most of us, I was happy to see Cannon on the field last week. From my vantage point though, there were several plays where he looked unsure of who to block. Maybe it's just me.
