And also confirms that there is BOTH a 3 week window in which to activate PUP players AND AN ADDITIONAL 3 week window in which to practice them before deciding on whether to add them to the roster. So no decisions have to be finalized before week 12 unless someone pushes that timeline.
Troy Brown has a message for his legions of fans:
“Tell them I’m doing OK.”
Yesterday, Brown made a rare appearance in the Patriots’ locker room during media access, and said he’s working to get back onto the field this season.
The 15-year veteran is one of four players on New England’s physically unable to perform list, and as such can’t be activated until after week six, at the earliest. At any time after week six — which is next Monday — but before week nine, the Patriots can elect to open a 21-day window to get Brown (or Richard Seymour, Chad Jackson or Eddie Jackson, the other three players on the list) onto the practice field. By the end of that three-week period, the team will either activate the players onto the 53-man roster or place them on season-ending injured reserve."
Another solid comment from BB in her piece that all the armchair coaches and performance graders/critics in message board land would do well to keep in mind:
Although last night’s Monday Night Football game was between the Patriots’ next opponent, Dallas, and division-rival Buffalo, it wasn’t must-see TV for Belichick.
“I’ll take a look at it, but TV scouting, you don’t really get too much out of it, to be honest with you,” he said. “There’s not enough people in the screen. Usually, it’s just the guy with the ball or a couple of guys. From a coaching standpoint, you really need to see the overall scheme of how they’re playing and who is where. You don’t see that on TV.”
