Roster cutdowns - PATRIOTS

[long distance]

Mangold buzz starting in 1, 2..

Eh, I knew it would be painful. But also, it's painful. Some guys I was really rooting for just hit the streets.

Sucks rooting for a team with a stacked roster, doesn't it?

I think the best trade of today was the Marsh trade. We have Ninkovich 2.0!

Or Vrabel 3.0. Let's hope he gets #50.

 

[Oswlek]

That's ****ing stunning to me. Wrong about that one.

He's was always the most likely cut-and-return if some injured guys are to be eligible to return from IR. So you aren't wrong just yet.

Those pics of Belichick that Jordan Richards has must be unspeakably filthy.

At least this is a good OL news if true

Richards found the incriminating pictures bequette used to keep of BB.

That joke was semi-funny the first time. After 15 times, nah

Garcia has an illness? Hopefully it's something he can recover from

He's just got it 15 minutes ago....

Still I wish someone could explain to me the rationale of Karras cut.

They cut the only three players practicing/playing C behind Andrews.
Waddle is kept as #5 tackle with a full season of inactivity on good money and cap hit that is now guaranteed..

Id just sleep better if I knew..

I just have to assume they're putting a waiver claim on another center (or two) that they think no one else will claim. And that they think Karras has maxed out. Which itself is surprising considering all the reports from camp and from how he looked to my (very unskilled) eye in the games.

Can anyone confirm my wild guess that Thuney can slide over to center?

 

[Joker]

Karras should be resigned if not claimed by another team

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

Can anyone confirm my wild guess that Thuney can slide over to center?

He played all five OL spots in college

Patriots' outlook at center/guard altered with Joe Thuney addition

 

[mgteich]

Can anyone confirm my wild guess that Thuney can slide over to center?

Both Thuney and Mason can probably slide over to center in an emergency.

Can. Didn't practice there for 2 yrs.

Well, you may be wrong considering that all beat reporters are claiming that he'll be back as soon as they're able to move a guy or two to IR (to bring back).

For the millionth time, why do people continue to assume that since Burkhead plays ST that he can take on Bolden's specific duties just as well as he did?

I just thought this might mean cut for Bolden and I was correct.

To your statement, I could just as well say, do you know that Burkhead doesn't duplicate some of Bolden's ST functions?

This has me L'Shocked.

 

[RobertWeathers]

This has me L'Shocked.

Either that he'd be working the fragrance counter at Nordstroms selling L'Oreal

 

[50-yard-line]

This has me L'Shocked.

Waddle is quietly serviceable at Left Tackle. That's not nothing.

Karras being cut, though, SHOCKS me. I thought he looked like a beast out there.

Not sure if this was posted but talk about scoop.
