Tim Wright is warming up on the field.
Hey, you can't win if you don't play. 95% of those who don't play the last game make the roster.Tim Wright is on the bubble? Already?
While assumptions on who is made the team and not playing can certainly be drawn, I'd say history and BB's penitent for making a collective fan base simultaneously screaming WTF with roster spot and cuts, will prevent me from reading too overly deeply into who playing and not playing.
Also anyone thinking Ridley is on the bubble he was in the group too.
I think that was another Mike Reiss media creation, much like Harrison moving to TE, and some other head scratchers over the years.

I completely agree. Overall I like Mike Reiss, but he's good for one head scratcher a season. Which, given the fact that he works for ESPN, only one head scratcher a season is a huge step down compared to his other fellow ESPN employees.
Vellano as well.

Large group of Pats in a workout that suggests they aren't playing: Brady, Mallett, Wilfork, Chandler Jones, Ninkovich, Amendola, Edelman...

If we really believe that's a "locks sitting it out" list, then Vollmer is considered relatively expendable? Yikes.
Gotta love that BB needlessly trades away his best OL and keeps the two worst starters, when axing them would have freed up more money than he was trying to get back from Mankins. Way to hold a grudge, coach!
Vollmer isn't dressed.My GUESS is they will probably put Vollmer in as a LT to protect Jimmy's blindside and give him some time at that position. They don't want Jimmy getting hurt after all. But we will see.
"Hold a grudge"? You mean against Mankins? Huh.
Is the idea that BB had a long-simmering plan to take revenge for Mankins' holdout by signing him to a hefty long-term contract with a $20 million signing bonus, then in the later years of the deal when his performance no longer matched his salary to trade him to a team that needed a guard badly enough to give him his full huge paycheck for the year?
If only somebody would hold a grudge against me like that!
I love the lengths people go to defend their teams.
