It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Like Bill said in his presser today, they have to use evaluation of past film and past performance as well. That would be the only reason Hobson makes this team, as right now, he's behind Guyton on the depth chart. Personally, I had high hopes for Hobson, I thought he could rotate with Bruschi at SILB on running downs.
While I hope you're right, I think that's reading too much into the tea leaves. The most straightforward interpretation of where someone plays in practice and in preseason games is where they line up on the depth chart. If that wasn't the case, Rodney would play in the 4th qtr and Mark Dillard would play in the 1st. Moss would play late and Jones would play early. Am I missing an example of where that's happening?What depth chart would that be? The one that BB uses?
There is the very REAL potential that BB has kept Hobson out of the games to let guys like Mayo and Guyton get the reps that BB KNOWS they need. And before you say "Well, why is Bruschi playing" its because Bruschi is the one calling the defensive plays for the team. They need him out there so that he can help instruct Mayo and such.
Yup. He has nothing else to say though. "Well, he's playing with the 3rd stringers and a UDFA rookie has surpassed him on the depth chart, other than that, he's been awesome!"

While Reiss gave Eric Alexander a "vote of confidence," Reiss is also the one who predicted that the Pats would take Beason last year and I believe he had them taking someone else this year. Don't get me wrong. Reiss is the man. But not everything he tells us is the script given by the Pats.

Thats the kiss of death,he's done for sure....
Hey Krugman, how long does it take you to get to Boston? Been hoping to move east soon and possible stay on Canadian soil. About 9 hours?
