Ryan Kerrigan is out right? Haven't looked.
The good thing is Washington doesn't have a true disrupter on the DL so I think we can afford to do some more experimenting with who does what best. Probably go back to the OL carousel that we saw at the beginning of the season.
Good news is Mason must be good to go or they would have had to create another spot for Barker. Bad news is that Collins is questionable due to illness.
Yes. Thank you!He is questionable, but rumor is he'll play with a giant mitt on his hand.
Knighton is out.
Ever since the flu game in Indy the word 'illness' sends chills down my spine.Good news is Mason must be good to go or they would have had to create another spot for Barker. Bad news is that Collins is questionable due to illness.
5 healthy OL + Mason. There won't be any experimenting tomorrow.
Why don't they cut him instead of ir him? If they cut, they can re-sign him later in the year. IR means he's gone for the year. Don't think yhere's a signing bonus drad money to worry about.
I'm sorry but our depth in the OL just took another severe blow, if this is true. And to make matters worse, our experience along the offensive line is almost none existent. Think about this. After Volmer, 3rd year player, Josh Kline is the next most experience lineman on the team. That is CRAZY. If I were Bill I'd be calling up Dan Connolly to see what kind of shape he's in. It is that bad.
BTW- I was watching some of the clips and if you look at the OL on some of the Dolphin game highlights, our best pass blocker is Brady. Our OL was getting blown up, and Brady would have been killed if he had to hold on to the ball one more second.
Might be actually hurt. He wouldn't lose money as he was on the 53 at beginning of year so he's paid either way.How do we know:
a) He's not actually hurt?
b) He wouldn't get claimed on waivers or sign elsewhere if he cleared waivers?
I sorta figured that. The Connolly comment was more an indication of my desperation. Outside of Volmer (who has a history of chronic back problems) the Pats don't have a single offensive lineman who has 10 starts in the NFL, and only 2 have had more than 2 years in the league (Kline, Cannon). I don't care how good the replacements are the inexperience is bound to show a some point.Apparently Connolly's dropped a lot of weight, so I doubt he's in any condition to play.

Also at this point right now, Cannon, Mason, and Jackson are all hurt, and Stork is coming off a serious concussion issue and has very limited practices since last season. I can't help but see this as a very ugly situation. One that we can probably get thru this week, but it will take a lot of great coaching and injury luck to get through this through the superbowl.

He's not subject to waivers.
He could sign elsewhere but he it wouldn't make sense to. He's paid now for resting.
