Final round of roster cuts for Patriots

Former Vikings and Tennessee CB Justin Coleman has signed a deal with the New England Patriots, source says. Brunswick HS grad.

Any intel on this guy?

All I know is he had an outstanding 3-cone, which I only know because Manx said so in his thread about him.

That's Michael Williams

Very tough, devastating blocker at Alabama, a favorite of Nick Saban. Very good hands. Didn't shrink from the moment, some key catches in high pressure situations (e.g., 3 receptions and one receiving touchdown in the 2013 BCS National Championship Game). Didn't have a ton of balls thrown his way because of athletic limitations. I'm glad to have him, he is a tough professional and a great blocker who might be a stealth receiver if left alone.

The Patriots cut WR DaVaris Daniels, per source.

Hooman cant catch TD and make a First down from time to time when the Defense ignores him.

That is why I like Williams (admittedly I know him from Alabama). Williams can also make a first down and catch a TD from time to time (see 2013 BCS Championship Game), but he combines that with being a devastating blocker.

Seems as though Chris Martin and Casey Walker are no more

Well, looks Martin can take off the fat man suit, go back on tour and try and see if he can get back together with Gwyneth Paltrow.

Hes Rod Rutledge. Dont get excited with his catching skills.

Seems like BB brings guys in who may not make the team immediately but who he may want to show that he has interest in.

PS candidate?

An interesting comparison. Their number of catches were similar their senior year.

Certainly their experience with winning wasn't very similar, Rutledge's Alabama team was 4 and 7 his senior year, while Williams was on three National Championship Teams. Hopefully he'll be on a few more Championship teams in New England.

@DougKyedNESN: The Patriots cut DT AJ Pataiali'i, according to a source.

I didn't even know that guy was on the team. Regardless, I'm devastated.

Another outstanding selection by Bobby Grier....

Rod had hands of stone but was just a tick below Danny Graham on the blocking side.

I think Tom Brady's 1st complete pass as a pro was to Rod Rutledge. Remember reading that somewhere?

I have no idea what to make of Mike Williams here.

 

[Urgent]

The names we should expect quickly:
QB Ryan Lindley
WR Zach D'Orazio
OL Caylin Hauptman
OG Ryan Groy
S Brandon King

Then it gets trickier.

I'd add the Following:
C - Andrews
RB - Cadet
WR - Saunders
LB - ****son

hmmmmm...interesting

 

[DaBruinz]

Good prediction.

I think that D'Orazio, Groy, and Morris are all PS candidates.. Not sure about Hauptmann..

 

[Oswlek]

Morris is coming back to the PS (prediction, not sourced).

 

[Sciz]

Morris is a bit of a surprise. I wonder if Reiss' 4 LB prediction was correct or if one of the others is sticking.
