White wants to make this team.

White has some nice moves.

Kinda like WR Zach D'Orazio. Very physical and active WR. Gets extra yards

I like your list a lot. The only changes I would make would be:

-I don't think Cadet makes the team
-I think Kline somehow sneaks onto the roster
-I think Tavon Wilson beats out Ebner

Yeah can't say I disagree. Swapping out Cadet for Kline makes sense. IMO, Ebner contributes more than Wilson on ST. Either way though it's no real huge loss.

Never saw white play so well as i have tonight.

Surprised that Cadet didn't play tonight. Is he not healthy? I figured Lewis and White were making the roster and Cadet was gone, but usually if someone doesn't play tonight it means he's locked up his roster spot (or he's too injured to play).

Did he have to win a job?

I think he has been sidelined for like 3 weeks now..

Gostkowski drills 50 yarders like its NBD. I've never really seen him have to make a bunch of clutch kicks but he is damn efficient.

The decision for the 3rd down back is going to be interesting.. Especially with the fact that Cadet hasn't taken a snap all pre-season while Lewis and White have..

D'Orazio and Harper could end up on the PS.. I don't see Daniels or Saunders doing anything..

I had Dobson not making the roster as recently as a week and a half ago, but even I am pretty firmly convinced he's making it now. Don't agree with what the announcers are saying. He's healthy now, which means he's going to get his shot, even if it's low on the depth chart.

Dobson should absolutely be on the 53 at least till LaFell returns or he gets hurt/flops. He'd be a shocking cut IMHO considering LaFell's uncertainty.

I sense the coaching staff is too attached to Cadet to let him go. He brings a lot of versatility to the team.

Why he isn't in this game is beyond me. But as one poster suggested, maybe that's a sign that he is lock for the roster.

I was never impressed by white at all until tonight. Last year he looked slow and went down on the first hit. Tonight he looks quick,fast and elusive.

I don't see Wilson beating out Ebner because Ebner is the Punter Personal Protector...

Patriots will practice Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday prior to their Week 1 matchup with Pittsburgh.

Caught from the end of 3rd quarter, White is doing some nice plays, he has some nice cuts since college. That will be interesting, I think both him and Lewis make the roster.

Cadet was supposedly ready to play.. *shrug*

I don't see all the Cadet love I would rather have White and Lewis over Cadet.
I say he cant run as well the aforementioned two and Lewis and White have shown they can catch the ball.

Trey Flowers looks like a beast..
