Re: Pats sign Deltha O'Neal, release Spach, sign OL Bender and DeVree to practice squ
The obvious advantage, to me, that O'Neal has over Bryant is his history of INTs. The defense needed a ball-hawk at CB after Samuel left, but Bryant has never filled that bill. O'Neal is not nearly the playmaker he was 3 years ago, but he could possibly become this year's version of Terrell Buckley, as others have already mentioned.
I'm still not comfortable with Lew Sanders as our #4/5 CB. I'd rather have Bryant back, or Hank the Man Poteat, or even Geno Wilson. I wonder if Lew has taken any snaps at FS during TC.
As for the other moves:
Let's see if Pokey-azz can prove to be a better 3rd/blocking TE than Spach.
Signing Bender to the PS is a decent move. He's pretty athletic for a a tall OLman, so perhaps he might have a future as a blind-side blocker. And if his signing makes any jest fans mad, then all the better.
I liked DeVree better than Stupor, but now that Pociask is on the 53, a better option for the PS may be a WR. Does C-Jack have any PS eligibility?
