Is there ANY way David Patten makes this team?

[eagle eye]

lol - Patten gonna also come off of major holidays and be an ace special-teamer?

No not at all but I think we have a bunch of rookies that will be deployed on special teams leaving a situation where Aikens st ability is not important and he loses out purely as a WR.

Let me be clear. I did not say it is LIKELY that Patten will beat out Holt, only that it is possible. I thought that is what this thread is about, to the degree that it was serious at all.

If Holt shows that he just doen't have very much left in the tank (which I do not EXPECT to happen), then Patten has the possbility of a place on the roster.

I can't. Holt is just that much better a receiver than Patten. I just don't see it happening..

I can see Patten making the team. Weirder things have happened. Never say never. Karma loves it when people say "never" or "no way". She simply loves that sort of thing. :rocker:

Can Patten play outside linebacker?

I was going to be very surprised if nobody had said this (or some variant) yet.

How is he at rushing the passer?

As traning camp opens, I was wondering af people thought there was ANY way David Patten makes this team?




(This thread goes out to the old school)

Injuries. Then again, you never know.

 

[lurker1965]

I could see Patten making the team instead of Holt.

That would say a lot about Holt.

Belichick may call a go pattern for David ... a go right to the thread about nothing.

MG - Unlike other people, I took you at what you wrote. I didn't think you implied anything else.

I have to agree. Given our record with #3's lately, and no way of knowing if Tate or Price can step in immediately, or how long it will take Holt to catch on, Patten may get the nod over Slater.

LOL! Somebody had to bump this thread.

Do you think he planned to retire when he signed.

I think this must have been in the back of his mind all along, to retire with the team that he had his greatest success. Good luck David.
