Wilson hurt or Wilson without Harrison, doesn't matter because according to history those two are essentially the same.

im not that worried about having them 2 (sanders, meriweather) back there till Rodney and Gino get back...

The Pats may have been a little premature in cutting Artrell Hawkins.

On second thought, maybe Rodney appeals the suspension to play in the first couple games. Merriman appealed his suspension and played until the Chargers schedule hit an easy stretch.

But, I think its worthy to note that Brandon did start at and play safety for the first time in live game action in the preseason finale, perhaps a tune up of sorts for week 1.

When people were asking why we didn't make the promise to Samuel to not Franchise him earlier in the offseason, I think we now have the answer. With Harrison suddenly gone for four games, the spector of Samuel being gone too loomed larger.

from the sounds of his interview doesnt seem like he is appealling just wants to get it behind him.

I guess we know why BB had Meriweather at Safety last night instead of CB like most of the snaps in the other 3 games.

It's very possible...
