Anyone got the goods on this guy?

It'll look bad for Wheatley if Arrington is active over him with Wilhite out all week. I also wonder if Arrington is a ST player with the Dolphins ST looking good last week.

5'10" / 196. First year. Hard hitter, played for Hofstra.

This may be it for Wheatley, maybe IR ?

YouTube - Kyle Arrington- Herc-n-HD

Here is a YouTube link of Arrington's college highlight reel. Arrington was one of Hofstra's best defensive players just a couple years back. Obviously coming out of Hofstra, Arrington never really faced the cream of the crop of D1, or even the midlevel schools, but he looks like he's got a bit of talent to work with - and seems to be an extraordinarily hard hitter for his size. Also seems to have a bit of giddy-up, which is definitely a plus.

I hope he never sniffs Gillette on a Sunday Afternoon - if he does, we've got serious injury problems - but I could see him being a contributor on Special Teams at some point in the future. Now take everything I just said with a grain of salt, because I'm just going by things I've seen of him on YouTube...

Another bone-smasher on ST's/D? Love the idea.

With the two best passing offenses in the league on the horizon, having another hitter in the nickel and dime sure won't hurt.

Apparently he's quick, too. Could be a real good STer.

I think it's interesting that the move may have been somewhat reactionary. Reiss is saying that other teams were showing interest in him and the Pats didn't want to lose him.

Obviously this team is gearing up to stop the pass, special teams during the stretch and knowing Adams and Richard are on the P-Squad and Brace is in arms reach (hopefully just waiting for a chance to shine) this defense is looking great.

Shows what BB thinks of him. Another unknown, small school, diamond in the rough, stashed on the practice squad ?

He just afraid the Colts were gonna get him and his playbook

That actually makes sense. The Colts are really hurting for d-backs.

True, luckily they're all stocked up on D-Bags.

I agree, there might be something to that theory.

Bwahahahaha...

I much prefer this theory to the alternate interpretation, that Wheatley is a washout.

I much prefer this theory to the alternate interpretation, that Wheatley is a washout.

It also means that Brace is a near certain active considering Green's status and the fact that Miami seems to run a bit. I know some were speculating that one of the PS DLs was going to get the call.

Seems to be a positive indicator on ol' Bracey, eh Patchick?

Next Wednesday, Wilhite will return to practice, Arrington will be

waived and re-signed to the practice squad, and Simmons re-signed.

What is your rationale for this?

It makes as little sense on the face of it as almost every other move this season?

I certainly hope so! Crossing my fingers that he'll see some quality snaps and show up well. (FWIW, I was NOT among those expecting a DL to take Simmons' spot, especially with Green due back fairly soon. I, in my infinite wisdom, expected a WR. )

 

[mgteich]

Apparently Simmons just wasn't fitting in. That being the case, we didn't need another offensive lineman to replace him. We have 4 OT's and 5 interior linemen on the 53-man squad, plus Wendell and Bussey on the Practice Squad. That seems to be plenty.
=============================================================
Apparently, Belichick likes Arrington enough to him sit at the end of the bench. There is certainly room next to Wheatley, Ohrnberger and Brace. Given that we have other players that are are out injured, one of these four will be active (not likely when there are more healthy bodies). My guess is that Brace will be active for awhile.
