For a 22 year old UDFA he showed flashes, but ultimately got burnt too many times.

And those of you who blew me off in the Preseason when I said to my eyes, Moore had regressed . . . here's to you guys:rocker:

Too bad about Sterling. We'll always have that memorable play against Lee Evans in the AFC Championship Game.

I know that our secondary has been bad, but I'm not sure that releasing Sterling is the answer (or part of it).

He'll probably end up back on the practice squad

He can't. Played in too many games.

He's been active for 8 games this year, which is the maximum allowed, as I recall. Yates says he's eligible.

Don't games played last year count?

EDIT: Otherwise, Ventrone would be eligible too I think.

I read the official rule, and it looks like you're right. We'll probably see Moore back on the PS if he clears.

Sterling Moore was active for six games last year and eight games this year.

As for practice squad eligibility, I can't remember if the number of games on the 45/46-man active roster was seven or nine.

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Bad move on Moore IMO

He played man to man better than most of our CBs and we all know how good he is at stripping a ball away from the receiver (Last years AFFCG and this year with the long Manning pass to Thomas punch out early in the game that eventually was a big factor in the outcome later on that game)

I actually thought he would be better at corner than Arrington and the rookie Dennard and was starter material (on THIS defense only)

I think something happened OFF the field that perpetuated his dismissal.

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

If Moore got cut because he sucks, then why is Arrington still here?

Why is our whole secondary still here?,I think the 3-8 defense is the winning formula in NE

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

He's not good.

LOL, succinct is very underrated.

 

[ATippett56]

In order to be eligible for the practice squad, players must meet one of the following requirements:

• Have no prior Accrued Seasons in the National Football League (An accrued season is six or more games on the active roster);
  
• Have one prior Accrued Season in which the player was on the 45-man active roster for no more than eight games;
  
• If served two seasons on a practice squad, are eligible for a third season only if the team has at least 53 players on its active/inactive list for the duration of that player's employment.

If they could generate consistent pressure with a 4 man line you'd be on to something.

 

[condon84]

So the same personnel men that misjudged the talents of Moore and countless other DBs is now bringing in a guy off the street named Derrick Martin? Okaay.

"Who cares" is the appropriate response to this personnel transaction.

New England Patriots cornerbacks currently on the 53 man active roster:

Devin McCourty
Alfonzo Dennard
Kyle Arrington
Marquice Cole
Derrick Martin

Hemmmmmm! ..... Cornerbacks ..... 2013 NFL Draft

Yeah! That's the ticket!

Bill Belichick knows what he's doing.

Looking at that bunch as a whole makes it worse than looking at them on the field in action.

A scrubendary at its best for sure,I think 4 of them might be unemployed if it weren't for the Pats signing them.

5 words come to mind looking at that secondary.....GET-A-BETTER-PASS-RUSH

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

You know nothing other than negativity.

Carry on.

VrableJr, he may be negative as a politician's final TV ad before the election -- I'm not judging that -- but that is irrelevant as to whether he is correct. You can't possibly be upset, you can't possibly be wondering what will we do without S Moore? The Secondary is porous and S Moore is not part of the solution for an improved secondary. This move is very little except BB and staff thinking there may be an unknown upside to the new guy. If that is not the case, I assure you that the lack of S Moore's presence will not mean the Secondary is even worse.

S Moore may be a great guy. If he is I hope he finds work somewhere. It's tough thing to lose one's job especially when you are a bubble player. But the Secondary needs some mixing up. This move ain't much but it ain't going backwards....

If 'off the field' = in the film room grading his play, you may be onto something.
