Jake Bequette is starting to remind me of Freddy and Jason. He just keeps coming back and will not die.

Not too surprised since we really didn't hear anything about Davis during OTAs. It is funny that Bequette is outlasting his competition though. I guess it would be very BB-like to keep him on the 53-man roster since he can provide depth at both DE and TE. Two positions, one roster spot.

Aha, I think you're right. I didn't think of that. Good point.

I am surprised people are shocked about this. It is part of the punishment Goodell gave us.

Brady for 4 games, 1M fine, 1st round pick & carry Bequette on the roster.

Yeah, except Jake's not scaring anybody...

I think as someone pointed out Davis was favoring his previously injured leg, which is pretty bad after he just had a full year off due to suspension.

If he's not healthy give the healthy legs a shot to get better.

They were both probably long shots from the start.

Also, Jimmay Mundine has been getting hyped heavily by one of the local writers these past few days, I don't have the links saved but he has some pretty sick highlights. Makes me cheer for the kid, his highlights look like a faster, quicker, and more athletic version of the murderer.

Hooman is obviously valuable to the coaches because to most of our eyes he isn't really good in the passing game nor is he an above average blocker, so I'd love for ANYONE to take his roster spot at this point. Nothing personal, we still have the best TE corps in the NFL even if we compare our #1 to everyone elses entire group, but we can get some near 2011ish production this year if Gronk plays like he did last year.

Hooman must be a decent blocker and, although he's not elusive, he does have very soft hands. I never recall seeing him bobble balls.

Anyway, for what it's worth, BB will take dependability over potential anytime.

Jake Bequette was once bitten by a king cobra. After several days of excruciating pain, the cobra died.

BB likes guys who are natural DEs. Consider, for example, Bruschi and Develin.

For a closer and much sadder analogy, consider also the late Marquise Hill.

585K is relative chump change for a player who is versatile and willing to do what you ask..

So he'll be diving into the stands and tackling Goodell?

If being versatile means being absolutely useless at more than position, then Jake the Fake is certainly that.

Bill should've kept Tim Mister Wright. Period. End of Story.

time for Gronk to start worrying about being first TE

I tend to agree. Being unable to play multiple positions didn't help Klecko stick.

Davis really must have not shown much during OTA'S, with the release of Wright earlier in the week, I thought for sure they would have kept Davis at least during the preseason in case of injuries or to see if he had anything left. Looks like the top three are all set now.

I just noticed something disturbing about my avatar picture. The indy colors seem to coordinate with the username/tag below the avatar. I am officially requesting we get some more Patriot looking colors in there (if Ian has some time to do that).

Yeah, when Wright got cut, a common line was "Davis must be looking good!" But then Davis got cut, so some have said "Derby must be looking good!" Except reports say Derby hasn't practiced yet... So we are left with "Bequette must be looking good!"

RayClay · Jun 20, 2015

What we forget is, our need for TE when we're healthy is almost nil. We have two 2 way starting tight ends to start. We need only a player who knows the plays, won't drop the ball and blocks.

If we go 4, we're probably keeping the cheapest player we can, Derby or Mundine.

We're not going 2 TE every play, Wright doesn't block and wasn't beating out one of our receivers and they don't want a possible malcontent [Davis rep]on the bench who doesn't know the system and won't be happy or ready with little playing time.

It's a classic, building a team vs collecting talent scenario.

Ross, let's hope we're not relying on Bequette looking good, if we are, then we're in deep trouble lol
