He can help late season/come playoff time. I hope we let him heal and not redshirt him.

Short term ir

Now that sucks!

1. Future All-Pro Superstar Malcolm Butler CB1
2. Brown CB2


And then three JAGs, ugh. Our CB depth is rough.

I really doubt a rookie competing to be CB4/5 would do anything in the playoffs after missing the regular season.

damn, I thought he was going to be Mini-Sherman

 

[Bobs My Uncle]

That's unfortunate for the kid.

That seems optimistic for a guy who's only played one preseason game.

 

[Sicilian]

Tough break... was hoping he could be a Butler 2.0 this season, coming up strong as the season went on. Hopefully just a worst case early diagnosis and he can come back later.

we are under-manned and short of talent at the CB position. Patricia and Bill must know that by now and are working out a strategy

 

[PatsFan2]

We really don't want to see too much of Logan turnstyle Ryan out there.*scarry*

One thing w/ Roberts, Patriots may wait till after cut downs to put him on IR so that he doesn't go thru waivers. Could lose him if they do.

 

[BlueThunder]

Can Welker play CB ?

They are doing the same thing with Tyms

Tough injury for the kid. Hopefully he comes back strong in his second year. As for the CB corps, my thinking still hasn't changed. I still really believe that we need to try and pull the trigger on a trade at that position.

 

[Brady6]

That is disappointing. I had high hopes for him.

 

[Marqui]

So this is why that were doing that McCourty at CB crap. I think this is huge blow. I believed Roberts was going to start at some point this year. Without him probably means a lot of zone, which means our defense is going to suck imo.

only one person gets on the IR, right?
