And what about those of us stuck at work on a Friday before a holiday weekend, eh? Beautiful weather will have to wait, I appreciate the conversation starter. That being said, I'll take (position/my preference): #3 QB/Gutierrez #5 RB/FB/Kettani (my dark horse- love the Navy fullbacks) #5...

I tend to agree with others saying the 2 gap 3-4 will always be the staple. But, for the sake of argument, why assume the tipping point, if there is one, would be towards a 4-3. Given personnel, a situational 3-3-5 seems just as feasible, and maybe more so in a pass-happy league. I think...

Money quotes from the underlying article: "it is clear that teams giving up a second-round pick next year for a third-round pick this year are displaying highly impatient behavior. Though it is not possible to say whether this behavior reflects the preferences of the owners or the employees...

So who do folks think is potentially of interest to the Pats from this list (other than resigning their own)? My 2 cents: Jim Leonhard, S- the Ravens have other priorities this offseason, and Dawan Landry is easier for them to retain as a RFA. Jabari Greer, CB- Pats seem to sign some...

As someone who gets most of his "info" on college players from this board, FWIW: 1.1- #23 Alphonso Smith, CB* 2.2- #47 Connor Barwin, OLB/TE 3.2- #58 Louis Delmas, S 4.3- #89 Cornelius Ingram, TE 5.3- #97 Antoine Caldwell, C/G 6.4- #124 Kevin Ellison, S 7.4- #136 Sammie Lee Hill, DT...

That would be the best case scenario in my mind. Unfortunately, it will be in Cassel's best interest to at least test the waters in the offseason. Based on what we've seen so far, if he continues to play at this level or steadily improves, he could get offered a starter's job & money from...

Agreed. The extra gameday roster spot is worth the risk of a couple of wasted possessions (direct snap to Faulk 3X, punt) should Cassel go down temporarily. Actually, would be cool to see a single wing -type formation with Faulk, Maroney and Jordan. BB being buds with Urban Meyer, whose QB...

Do we know this for sure? I can't recall the league suspending him, though he did get a suspended sentence on the charge. If Faulk is indeed suspended for any number of games, does he count against the 53-man roster for those games? Either way, makes the Jordan signing even more sensible...

Interesting topic. I have Moss, Welker, Gaffney, Jackson, Washington, in that order. But I think one of Slater/Aiken will make the roster as a special-teamer. It's semantics whether you call that a WR roster slot, I guess. When I try to project a 53-man roster, I list guys in one of 4...

I think you hit the nail on the head. Ruud is likely in direct competition with Izzo for ST abilities. Only one will probably make the team, and Ruud has an uphill battle ahead of him. Wonder if he would make it to the PS?

Re: Holley: Pats LOVE Ellis and Dorsey This brings to mind something I've been thinking about for a while. I've read that the 3-4 evolved from the old 5-2 defense. How cool would it be to see BB throw out a 5-2 lineup (or hybrid 5-1 nickel) for a few plays? Something like...

7 CB Leodis McKelvin Troy 62 DT Dre Moore Maryland 69 CB Antoine Cason Arizona 94 P Durant Brooks Georgia Tech 129 ILB James "Beau" Bell UNLV 164 OLB Stanford Keglar Purdue 197 ILB Jonathan Goff Vanderbilt 238 CB Jonathan Hefney Tennessee The offense will be just fine...

I think the team needs 2 names-Offenders for the offense, Defendants for the defense. And they really, really need to be relocated to New York (not Jersey!).

I was going to title this thread "Name 2 Giants non-starters who would make the Pats 45-man roster" but perhaps that meme has been done to death. Nevertheless, injuries will happen, and bench players on both teams are likely to be an important factor. I don't know much about the Giants'...

I don't think I'm selling Plaxico short, he's a hell of a player, but he's not better than Moss or Welker. Lining Welker up in the slot does not make him the #3 receiver, hell he led the team in catches and was 2nd in TDs. Yes, Burress is better overall than Stallworth, which is why I said I'd...

Interesting topic. If I had to choose... For those saying Burress over Stallworth, it's apples and oranges. Stallworth is arguably 4th on the WR depth chart right now. No way do I take him over Moss or Welker. If we're talking a 3-wide starting group, which makes sense for this year, I...

Here here! If you keep that blog up I will be a regular reader!

I say semi-OT because some have already discussed on this site whether Josh McDaniels will be a target of other teams after this year's offensive performance. Haven't heard anything about Dean Pees but I don't think he will be looked at for any HC jobs right now, you may disagree. Other wild...

Agreed. I've yet to watch a game with the pistol offense though, isn't Nevada running it? Hopefully I can catch them in a bowl game this year.

TripleOption, thanks for the thoughtful response. 1. You're right, inventive is not the right word to use (but I think Paul Johnson has done some innovating within the context of that offense). More like, rarely seen at higher college/pro levels, different, fun, deceptive option offenses...
