Schefter: Hankerson expected to be active

[patsinthesnow]

Patriots WR Leonard Hankerson, claimed on waivers this week from Atlanta, is expected to be active today for New England, per source.

Maybe he can provide another spark like Leonard on defense.

It's nothing short of wild that an 11-2 team adds four players to the 53.

It's nothing short of wild that an 11-2 team adds four players to the 53.

...and they still aren't done.

At a minimum I expect 7-10 more roster moves between now and mid-January. Some new signees (SJax) IRs and PS promotions & corresponding moves in which a player is waived.

Imagine how many moves there'd be if Ventrone was still on the roster.

The churn overall is crazy. Think Reiss said 74 players so far--that's a roster plus 40%.

Call me a huge fan of trying these new guys out against Tennessee.

Good thing because there is a thread that says he only has 3 weeks to impress.

This guy has a much higher ceiling than Tiquan Underwood did. If Hankerson is not a complete knucklehead, he fell into an ideal situation to resurrect his career. (Underwood, by the way, is still a favorite for being such a class act with the Patriots.)

Cat defense, cat offense. You cover that cat, you run by that cat.

A decent performance down the stretch could help down the road as Hankerson is comp pick eligible. For a decent veteran it wouldn't take much the last few weeks to stop him from getting us a free, late pick in a year.

With Stork apparently not playing and Scott Chandler likely out, good chance for David Andrews, Asante Cleveland to step up

Thin at RB and WR today. I expect Hankerson and Iosefa both to get some snaps.

 

[TeamFirst]

They don't have a running game so we are probably going to see alot of 5 wide today with Iosefa in the backfield blocking.

Gronk
Hankerson
Amendola
Lafell
Martin/White

If Hankerson performs thats not a bad receiving line-up barring no droppies.

Weird situation with Stork, he was listed probable but now they're saying he is likely out... Hopefully just precautionary since Andrews can probably hold his own against TN.

Iosefa's highlights show some pretty nasty blocks. Would be great if he could contribute as an extra blocker and safety valve on third down/deep passing plays.
