the pats play the giants next week?Which New England Patriots backup quarterback ends up in a body cast next week against the New York Giants?
That's why Hoyer didn't play tonight. He was busy body cast shopping.Which New England Patriots backup quarterback ends up in a body cast next week against the New York Giants?
That depends whether Hoyer survives the NY Giants pass rush next week.Remove Warren & Diggy, and add Hoyer & Cole, and I'd be pretty much in full agreement.
My 53 was the same as after Philly & the Demps signing:
QB (2) Tom Brady, Ryan Mallett
RB (5) Stevan Ridley, Shane Vereen, Danny Woodhead, Brandon Bolden, Jeff Demps
WR (6) Wes Welker, Brandon Lloyd, Jabar Gaffney, Deion Branch, Julian Edelman, Matthew Slater
TE (3) Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, Daniel Fells
C (2) Dan Connolly, Ryan Wendell
G (4) Logan Mankins, Brian Waters, Donald Thomas, Nick McDonald
T (3) Nate Solder, Sebastian Vollmer, Marcus Cannon
DE (4) Chandler Jones, Brandon Deaderick, Jake Bequette, Trevor Scott
DT (4) Vince Wilfork, Kyle Love, Gerard Warren, Ron Brace
ILB(4) Jerod Mayo, Brandon Spikes, Donta Hightower, Jeff Tarpinian
OLB(3) Rob Ninkovich, Jermaine Cunningham, Bobby Carpenter
CB (5) Devin McCourty, Ras-I Dowling, Kyle Arrington, Sterling Moore, Alfonzo Dennard
SS (3) Steve Gregory, Nate Ebner, James Ihedigbo
FS (2) Patrick Chung, Tavon Wilson
ST (3) Stephen Gostkowski, Danny Aiken, Zoltan Mesko
Daedrick over Warren. Hoyer in, Bolden out (hopefully PS, he has potential).
Is there a reason why you'd have to make the choice between Deaderick and Warren? It looks as if you could potentially keep both, giving you 15 front seven players and 10 DB's = 25 on defense.
I think it may be a worthwhile thought to consider keeping Warren as rotation and depth, now that we have lost Fanane. If the possibility arises to improve that with another teams' roster cut, all the better; but in the meantime I would probably explore the thought of keeping them both. I think we need that 15th player in the front seven, and since he's a 'big' it's all the better.
The only change that you'd really need to make is to switch out Hoyer with Bolden, and I agree with that entirely. That would swap their positions out and still leave you with the same number on offense = 25.
I think that Bolden may become a good back at some point, and has shown potential. I think he'd make it to the PS, where we could stash and develop him further in case of absolute emergency + next yr's potential.
Great thoughts all around. I like the roster that you and patsfan13 have created there. The only minor disagreement I may have is whether or not A.Dennard's spot is given to M.Cole instead. I think we may be able to sneak Dennard on the PS, and Cole may offer more experience and ST presence. Just a thought though, it could certainly go either way.
Another spot for Cole could be made by switching Ihedigbo's spot out too, that may be the best case scenario right there.
To me, Deadrick is useless in a 4-3 reg D. He can't play inside as the DTs and unless we are playing a 4-3 under D where he can play as the LDE, he's useless as a DT in a 43. His traits fit as a pure 5 tech DE. I'd keep Warren over Deadrick. Warren can play the two spots at the DT spot and can also play DE in a 34.
Ah, so you'd actually keep Warren over Deaderick? I like it. I know that Warren is on the bubble, and has been trending towards the shadow roster, but I think he's more of a consideration now with Fanane's departure.
I may actually keep both myself, but if Deaderick is the odd man out, so be it too. My only concern is that I think we may need one more 'big' in there somewhere, but if you don't see Deaderick as a fit, then maybe it can be explored via the waiver wire.
You mentioned Dennard. Do you see him as staying with a spot, or trying to make it through to the PS?
Are you getting ready for next Saturday? Or are you writing the season off due to the sanctions imposed? Personally, I will still be watching very intently, and I think that a top 25 spot may be in order when all is said and done.
I see them keeping Dennard on the 53 roster on Sept 1st. After that, he might be on the IR. They won't send him to the PS prior to that date (since waiver wire rules apply). He'll be on the team on Sept 1st and then either on the team if healthy or on IR.
No comment on the Bucks situation, or are you keeping those feelings close to the vest?
You gotta be curious to see that unfold.
Storm Klein situation?
LOL
Just curious as to whether or not you'll be following the OSU situation as intently as in yr's past due to the sanctions and it being a 'wasted year' etc.
