Belichick says #Patriots can't afford bad penalties they had last week. A number of the players who committed them won't be in the stadium.

Christopher Price ‏@cpriceNFL 2m2 minutes ago
BB talked about avoiding penalties today.....and Robert McClain led team in penalties in preseason

Branch also made some really stupid ones for a vet.

Reggie Wayne, Jonas Gray, Brandon LaFell and Robert McClain not at practice.

McClain and LaFell are for obvious reasons, Wayne, while I think he could be productive here, might not be ready yet. Cut him and have him keep his playbook, return in a week or two.

Gray, that'd be shocking, he's slated to be the starter week 1.

Jonas Gray would definitely be a surprise cut. If Wayne is cut it's likely because he's not ready for week one, comes back right after it.

Good point on Reggie Wayne.

Branch also made some really stupid ones for a vet.

Everyone talks about how we "need" Branch because he's fat.

Well, guess what, he simply seems fat, he's not good, he hasn't anchored well this PS, he came in our of shape. He's literally just a body, theres no drop off from 4 to 3 DTs because one of them doesn't provide anything.

Siliga backs up Brown and the DE's backup Easley.

With Blount suspended for game 1, why would they cut Jonas Gray, his only viable replacement?

@DougKyedNESN: A league source tells me the Patriots are calling teams, shopping around for a big-bodied receiver.

People will freak if Wayne is cut, but it's all about him not being for Week One and guaranteeing his contract.

Not sure how much I believe this report!

Not sure I buy that. Going to be incredibly hard for anyone to come in here now and get much snaps on offense. Hell it's a big task for Wayne and he's a longterm vet of a complicated offense.

Chris Matthews?

Now that they have pre-season superstar Tyler Lockett maybe we can steal post season super star Chris Mathews!

Reggie Wayne got a $450,000 signing bonus less than two weeks ago. No way he'd get cut today. It would be a complete shocker.

Eh, people talk about this every year and it never seems to actually happen. It's not as big of deal as some seem to think. I can't really recall us doing this, maybe once. I mean it sounds like a great idea in theory but it just doesn't usually unfold this way for whatever reason.

I think I've got this right, but if he's on the roster for week one, his salary is guaranteed for the year, if he's re-signed after week one, then his salary is pro-rated as long as he's on the team. If he's a Lafell stopgap, that could represent some savings. Can anyone confirm this?

Zach Moore has been playing inside at DT. Looked okay there the other night. lot cheaper than Branch.
