I really don't know what to think about the RB4 slot at this point. None of the 3 current candidates seems unreasonable, yet none would make me shed a tear if they signed elsewhere. Realistically, if the top 3 are healthy #4 doesn't make the gameday 45 anyway, so it could be a position to skimp on for the initial roster in order to try out some waiver claims at other spots.
IMO the backup linebackers are as tough to forecast as the safeties. Darius Fleming seems to be leading the pack and Cameron Gordon trailing, but I could make a case for any of Beauharnais, Anderson, Morris and even McCuller.
Unless the RB4 is Bolden. He plays on ST more than Slater (even if he isn't as special a teamer).
Is anyone else surprised that Bolden has only been on the field for like 3 plays through 3 pre-season games? This isn't a guy of SuperStar caliber like Brady or Revis. This is a end of the roster guy..
Chung played in the base defense and then came off in sub packages in place of Harmon. Perhaps that's the way the Patriots are leaning towards handling the spot next to McCourty, which has been a revolving door this preseason.
May I ask why you find it amusing?I found this amusing:

Run/pass substitutions at safety.
