[manxman2601]

Welcome back Manx!

Thanks Cap'n. Had a stroke a month ago so am coming back to football slowly. Not sure watching our secondary is the best remedy for a stroke

 

[PatsFan2]

Hey Manx sorry to hear nice to see that name... Good health to you from now on.

 

[goheels22002]

QB - Brady, Hoyer (2)
RB - White, Michel, Burkhead, Hill, Bolden (5)
FB - Develin (1)
WR - Hogan, Dorsett, Patterson, Britt, Slater (5)
TE - Gronkowski, Hollister, Allen (3)
OT - Brown, Cannon, Waddle, Croston (4)
OG/C - Andrews, Mason, Thuney, Karras (4)

DL - Brown, Shelton, Guy, Butler (4)
ED - Flowers, Clayborn, Wise, Rivers, Davis (5)
LB - Hightower, Van Noy, Bentley, Roberts, Sam, King (6)

SAF - McCourty, Chung, Harmon, Ebner (4)

K - Gostkowski (1)
P - Allen (1)
LS - Cardona (1)

Only two disagreements -

Croston does not make the 53 and the Patriots will bring in a veteran T/G by trade or waivers
Britt does not make the club from the tub and Decker clicks with Brady

I hope that's not the only reason why we are keeping Riley McCarron. I am sure after cut downs we can find a guy who can catch and return punts.

I hope and suspect that you're right.

I'm glad you didn't die but my advice would be to not have more strokes.

Superbowl?

Seriously, mend well.

Yikes! I was wondering what happened to you.

Glad you are ok

Hadn't thought of that. Always thought the Patriots would end up giving me a heart attack with their SB performances. You might be on to something.

I'm at 54 and can't decide where to cut from

A CB maybe if J McCourty doesnt work out, but i like some of the younger guys

We're basically always going to have to use 3 roster spots on a QB now with Brady in his 40's, so Etling stays IMO or they trade for someone and Etling goes to practice squad

Can't really take a SS or you go real thin there

With our Oline injury history you need to take 4 Tackles

 

[Pop Patriot]

Only 2 OLB's??

 

[jah]

Only 2 OLB's??

The ILB/OLB designation doesn't mean much in this defense since so much nickel is played. There's often just 2 linebackers out there at any given time. Plus, Hightower has played plenty of OLB.

 

[pats_premi]

I understand that Keion Crossen was the worst player in coverage against the Eagles. However, his closing burst and open field tackling appears to be at a elite level. I think he has value on special teams ?

QB (2) T.Brady, B.Hoyer
Etling to PS when he clears waivers.

RB (6) J.White, J.Hill, J.Develin, R.Burkhead, S.Michel, B.Bolden
If either Burkhead or Michelle need to be IR/DFRed, then Gilly sticks; Webb to PS when he clears waivers.

WR (5) C.Hogan, P.Dorsett, C.Patterson, K.Britt, B.Berrios
One of Britt/Decker sticks, as does one of Barrio/McCarron; all 4 of them (plus Dorsett) really suck, sorry not sorry.

TE (3) R.Gronkowski, D.Allen, J.Hollister
Tye's too inconsistent; Izzo to PS when he clears waivers.

C (2) D.Andrews, B.Schwenke
G (3) S.Mason, J.Thuney, T.Karras
T (3) T.Brown, M.Cannon, L.Waddle
I prefer Schwenke to Croston at backup Guard, because Croston would be an unmitigated Disaster at Tackle. Bill & Nick need to find a backup LT during Cutdown Day.

DE (5) T.Flowers, A.Clayborn, D.Rivers, D.Wise, K.Davis
Buh-bye GeeNo Gruesome!

DT (4) M.Brown, L.Guy, D.Shelton, A.Butler
Buh-bye Vinnie V!

ILB(2) D.Hightower, J.Bentley
OLB(3) K.VanNoy, M.Flowers, C.Sam
Buh-bye Elandon Waivers!

CB (6) S.Gilmore, E.Rowe, J.McCourty, J.Jones, D.Dawson, R.Lewis
JCJack, Cyrus the Virus & Keion Crossed-up are all still in the running for the #6 CB spot, however. Trade one of them for WR or backup LT help?

SS (3) P.Chung, E.Pleasant, N.Ebner
FS (2) D.McCourty, D.Harmon
Buh-bye Glitch!

ST (4) S.Gostkowski, R.Allen, J.Cardona, Slater

Sorry but that was cringy

Wow, so sorry to hear about that Manx. Hope you are feeling better.

You were missed!! Not only your knowledge about the sport and the players but also the respect that you have always shown for fellow posters was missed as well.

Care to elaborate?

In that case, may I suggest also averting your gaze whenever the camera turns to our LT & WRs?

But seriously folks...as a fellow descendant of the British Isles (IRE), I am sadly all too familiar with the dangers of strokes/heart attacks. So Keep Calm, and Don't Forget Your Meds...
