It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I think the Patriots probably sign Tony Carter of their practice squad to fill the 53 man roster. He has already earned the best practice player of the week for three times this season. Against the Colts spread offense they probably need more CB's.

If not Aaron Schobel, that's my guess also.
Cutting a pass rusher to sign a DB?
Do you mean he should've been called for offsides/neutral zone infraction? I'm pretty sure there is no false start penalty on defense, or else none of that pre-snap motion could work.He was continually in motion up to the snap- as if he couldn't make up his mind what he was supposed to do. There's trickery, and there's confusion. It was definitely the latter.
And yes, at least on two occasions he should have been called for false starts but wasn't.
He definitely wasn't hustling. Example: 20 seconds left in 2nd period, 2nd and 10, Pitts ball on their 40, if you want to FF to that, you'll see him trail a big run play by Moore with a casual jog.
I hate to speculate but this morning when going to work, I ran into Eric Alexander. I thought he was with Jaguars or did he get released by them? It looked like he was going somewhere in his sweat suits as he was getting into his car....

wiki shows Alexander still with the jags.
Alexander was released on 11/2.
I just don't see the need for another ILB. Maybe STs needs a boost?
Jaguars sign OT Whimper, release LB Alexander - NewsPlurk
Ready the board for the Pierre Woods signing.
Shot in the dark: Pierre Woods?
True, but I also don't think they're going to go with 3 OLBs total on the roster. That leaves them one injury away from being in deep trouble. To cut Crable, I'd think they'd have to have someone ready to come in who can take his spot on the depth chart. Other than Woods or Burgess, I'm not sure who else would fit the bill. I agree that it's strange timing, and I don't necessarily see how that makes more sense than just going with Crable either, but Belichick makes a lot of moves that I don't understand. That doesn't really phase me anymore; I just go with it, since his call usually ends up being the right one.
Wow, good call.Shot in the dark: Pierre Woods?
It appears your response was a great big "whoosh" right over the heads of some folks not familiar with the Legend of Adam Seward.
Just like there no crying in Baseball, there are no false starts on defense.
What are these defensive false starts you keep speaking about? I don't ever remember a false start being called on the defense.

No interior lineman may move abruptly after taking or simulating a three-point stance.
No player of the defensive team within one yard of the line of scrimmage may make an abrupt movement in an attempt to cause the offense to false start.
