Practice Squad News and Speculation
 
This is a placeholder thread for Practice Squad 2012 signings, cuts, contracts and speculation.

The Patriots have 8 slots available as of Friday, 8/31/12 at 10:00pm EDT. Who makes it? Here are my bets:
  • Jeff Tarpinian ILB/ST
  • Eric Kettani FB/RB --- Patriots have invested some serious time into him already
  • Malcom Williams DB/ST
  • Jeremy Ebert WR
  • Alex Silvesterio DE/TE

And at least one D-lineman and 2 OL-men that were not in Patriots camp is my guess, although if you want to replace one of the big uglies with a rookie QB, I won't argue too hard.

I would save a spot for 1-2 of Forston, Francis and Rivera. We don't need 17 front seven players. We need the roster spot(s) on offense.

I hope they add Weems and/or Kopa. OT Marcus Zusevics is on PUP list as well.

Ebert was a little disappointing to me, and not sure he has a future here. We'll see.

If they fill it with only guys they just cut (which they never do):

Tarpinian
Silvestro
Williams
Ventrone
Warren
Weems
Kettani
Ebert

Just like it sounds - Sil-ves-tro

Kettani for two reasons:

  • BB put his reputation on the line with the Navy for Kettani's pro prospects.
  • Kettani plays FB.

...since we may need an additional arm for camp, Tom Brandstater, QB.

No a QB is an absolute necessity. We might not need a 3rd QB on the roster, but we need a 3rd arm for practice to run the scout teams.

I misspoke as I meant for the PS. Liked Brandstater in the draft as a late round gamble. hard to expect too much quality floating around there as anything of a serious developmental guy.
Wonder if we should be looking for a PS quarterback that gives a different look on the scout team. Perhaps one that might adequately run a wildcat...? Just a thought.
