That's a quick healer! I guess the injury must have been different than it looked?

Too bad; I was hoping that he'd be IRed to make room for an ILB.

Hey! Nice to see you back. We've missed your sunny disposition here..

If Belichick finds an ILB, he won't have much trouble finding a player to waive. Unfortunaely for you, it won't be Slater.

More to the point...if Slater isnt hurt is Meriweather playing on ST?? If he isnt do we cause that fumble,etc..? All the ST looked pretty good last night(except for the missed FG), in fact I dont remember a game in the past year + where they looked BETTER! Coincidence??

Was that normal personnel, or were they trying to mimic an offsides kick situation?

This makes a lot of sense. What did NOT make sense was the Slater was on the roster with idea of him playing half the year as a gunner.

I look for Lockett to be waived when Slater is ready to play.

What does Slater's readiness have to do with waiving anybody?

Slater's already on the 53. Just a game inactive.

i'ld guess the poster was finding a spot for a LB and since lockett role could be replaced by slater there is a spot.

I come to this Pats forum for the positive thinking.

Amazing toughness these guys have....

im assuming your $250K roster spot wasnt on the line....haha. they are tough, though

 

[mgteich]

whoever Belichick chooses

Many would like to see us pick up a linebacker and wanted Slater's roster spot. As was said, I offered up Lockett's instead. Connolly's also should available with the addition of Simmons (or Simmons could go if he doesn't impress dante).

The main point I was trying to make is that it is realtively easy to find a couple of roster spots if Belichick sees a player or two or three that he wants.

Positive thinking is noticeably lacking lately...I hope it's a case of assume the worst, hope for the best by default thinking and not just people in a constant Chicken Little state.

I've felt since the draft, that the D would need time to get on the same page. Maybe by about week 6/7, I figured they'd be pretty damn good. This will probably be even more true now that Mayo will be gone that amount of time. Either way, i've been preparing for the 'negative crowd', and it looks like they're back. I'm sure it wont be as bad as last year, but still be slightly annoying

Glad to be back, and of service.

Yeah, I know. Just wishful thinking on my part, is all.
