Katula? That's interesting.

I didn't realize this before, but Chris Price tweeted that Lee Smith has experience as a LS. Is this a move to keep a 4th TE?

Lee Smith has experience at long snapper just like Vince Wilfork has experience at QB. Has he actually long snapped in the preseason yet?

Yeah I was wondering about this also.

Not that I've seen. It sure as hell isn't going to be Ninkovich, that's for sure.

Apparently not. Per Reiss, the Pats will sign another LS.

Well, that clears that up.

a little different, I would think......

maybe he has long-snapped a thousand times in practice.

either that, or maybe they don't plan on punting of kicking FG's

Troy Brown is coming back,just as the LS.....the only spot on the team he never played and wants to cover all positions.

As mentioned in the other thread, Player To Be Signed Later.

So far that''s 2 I had making the final cut, Sanders and Katula, more to come I am sure. I'm surprised by both but i''m sure Belichik already has a good idea of how he will replace them.

Re: List of cut players; final countdown to the 53

Didn't know of any problems with Katula, obviously something that wasn't reported!

"Rob [Ninkovich] snapped in the game [Thursday], snapped in practice, and if it comes to it, we’ll be confident in that."

Well I hope Reiss is wrong. We have Ninko who can do it. I'd hate to lose another roster spot on a STeamer . We carry 3 QB's already. we have a K a P and luckily a cvapable WR that is versatile enough to be more than just a STeamer Gunner.


BB lives by versatility and I hope Ninko or Smith if he makes the team.... can do those duties.

We don't have to lose a roster spot w/ a LS 3 QB's takes the LS spot away.
I doubt it that we carry 4 TE's

Re: List of cut players; final countdown to the 53

wow so we are in market for a safety and a Long snapper :confused2:

 

[TheSolderKing]

Re: wilhite, sanders among cuts

if it comes down to it...


Keeping Smith would be a wiser option in the sense of his ability to LS.
Is the dropoff from Yeatman to Smith that Gr8? I don't think it is.
2 Birds w/ 1 stone if Lee makes team.

Ninko and Smith could alternate LS duties
