What? Now cut down to 9 safeties between the 53 and the PS? Say it ain't so BB!

It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Interesting that one has great LT size [6'8"] but was mostly a tight end, one played a fair amount of LT, but seems undersized 6' 2-3 and mid level school while the other was also a tight end, but seemed to impress at OL.
He grew up on a movie lot. It's sort of his thing.Golf cart is an odd choice of transportation to use to go home.
A shot to the noggin will do that. You should have seen his Escalade on the fairway.Golf cart is an odd choice of transportation to use to go home.
Keavon Milton tested at the Combine at 6-4.0 and 280 pounds, not 6-8. So not really the length of most NFL OT's.
If they need a tackle off the practice squad, the lead candidate has to be Blaine Clausell. He's 6-6 329, typical size of a tackle, and was on the Labor Day practice squad -- he has the most experience in the Pats system. Picking up another college TE and hoping he can pick up the Pats offensive line system in a couple days is pretty risky. In fact, I think he's one of three guys who have been with the practice squad the entire season (Asante Cleveland, Darius Fleming the others). That must count for something.
I'd like to bring in Dri Archer to replace Lewis. I'd like to get rid of 2 safeties and bring in an OT and activate Fletch. If Chris Jones can contribute, one of the DL gets an illness
Which of the safeties do you want to get rid of??
Brandon King - He's been playing pretty well on Special Teams?
Tavon Wilson - He's been a healthy scratch a couple times..
McDonald - He took some special teams snaps this past Sunday..
You want to activate Fletcher, but what if he's not ready? We don't know where he is, exactly in terms of football readiness..

King and McDonald each saw more snaps than Wilson Sunday. All got more than Dobson.Fletcher can play ST too. I'd get rid of Ebner and McDonald. BB will keep Ebner and prob drop King and McDonald.
I've seen Dobson make plays that matter. And, Wilson make a few on defense. Can't say the same about the other 3 safeties.King and McDonald each saw more snaps than Wilson Sunday. All got more than Dobson.

It seems fairly obvious at this point that Bill Belichick has a deeper appreciation for Nate Ebner on this team than us fans do.
I don't expect him to go anywhere, and I actually think he'll be extended.

I guess you skip special teams plays.. Ebner is the Personal Protector on Punt plays. He also has made line calls and shifts. He was the first to recognize that the opposing team was going to try that on-side kick against the Pats and called out the change..
So, yeah, let's get rid of a leader on the Special Teams unit because you haven't seen him make a play that matters..
So you value some unknown scrub backup who may never see the field but is there for insurance in case the OL gets another injury over keeping the punter healthy and not having punts blocked?I value a back-up OT who would have played and depth at lb more than punt protectors. Especially, since Fletcher is a good special teams player too. I don't care if we cut Ebner or not. But, I'd cut King and McDonald then. 8 safeties is ridiculous.
Yup, 31 other teams manage to protect their punter without Ebner. I guess you value an 8th safety more than a 3rd tackle??So you value some unknown scrub backup who may never see the field but is there for insurance in case the OL gets another injury over keeping the punter healthy and not having punts blocked?
Easy to see why you're not a threat to Belichick's job.
Six teams have had punts blocked this year. If that's your idea of protection you're just reconfirming my point.Yup, 31 other teams manage to protect their punter without Ebner. I guess you value an 8th safety more than a 3rd tackle??
