It's easy, and only takes a few moments.have to admit after looking at that IR... isn't everyone glad we picked d mcCourty now... i know we would never have known but imagine if we didn't pick a cb... even bigger holes
Mankins was apparently put on the reserve/did not report list, as well.
Yeah we'd most likely be looking at Butler Whilite combo. Yuck
Assuming the person you responded to meant roster exempt list, it means he misses the first 3 games of the season minimumWhat are the ramifications of that? Does it save a roster spot? I was under the impression that because he was not under contract he didn't effect the roster.
Damn this team looks bad, like '05 bad.
- They lose their best DE
- They lose their best CB which means more playing time for Wilhite
- And their best OL doesn't wan't to play for them
Don't set your expectations too high.
Meriweather and Butler are now the starting CBs with Butler moving inside and McCourty playing outside on Nickel packages. Sanders and Chung at Safety.
If they can get a veteran corner for cheap, then sure, but they shouldn't give up that much to get one. There's no way to replace Bodden, IMO they should let their secondary sink or swim with McCourty, Butler, Wilhite and Weatley. If the injuries keep piling up it starts to become more and more about next year.
Two key defensive starters on IR before the games even start. Blecch.
On the bright side -- seriously, this is good news: Edelman, Cunningham and Hernandez (edit: and Kaczur!) are NOT on the IR list.

Lets be serious, Wilhite and Wheatley kind of stink and are made of glass. McCourty is a rookie. Butler looks like he has regressed (take that with a grain of salt - it's pre-season). Pats MUST make a move for a DB to be competitive this season - or they will have to put up 40+ points a game.

Players in the category of Reserve/Retired, Reserve/Did Not Report, Reserve/Exclusive Rights, and players who were placed in the category of Reserve/Left Squad in a previous season may not be reinstated during the period from 30 days before the end of the regular season through the postseason.
Two starting corners with one year of experience between them and no pass rush. This should be interesting.
