I guess it is easier to construct rosters without STers. You have only Slater. Beliechick's total will likely be 3-7 for players who are primarily Sters.
 
In this situation, you have to strategically think who can make it to the practice squad without getting claimed. Between Lil Jordan and Asiasi, there's no question that Lil Jordan would be tougher to sneak through.
I think that Belichick has a different approach. If one player is more valuable than the other, he puts him on the 53. If the other players doesn't make the Practice Squad, so be it. I agree that it makes little sense to keep a lesser player on the 53 merely because someone else MIGHT make the Practice Squad.

I have Bethel too. Who else do you think makes it?

I have a few guys that are special teamers and situational players - Slater, Schooler, Langi from the Pats Picker. The youthful linebacking crew is also a ST reservoir of players.

Hoyer has a 3M dead cap hit, he won’t be cut.

I can't see Hoyer going to another team at this point in his career. I wouldn't lose any sleep if he was cut and spent the rest of the season (and perhaps more) with the team in a advisory role.

Unless he and BB have a wink-wink deal in place and he comes back after hes been cut but even that's a stretch.

THE LAST THREE CHOICES
51) ST Bryant
52) ST Tavai
53) ST Humphrey

I left Ekuale's roster spot open. This is the best time to try to get all our backup DT's on the Practice Squad (and activate one for Game Day).
As I said in my last post, Belichick usually has more STO's players than we do. I would expect/hope that these last three would get ZERO positional snaps, except perhaps in garbage time (same for Slater, Bethel and Davis).

I agree with this completely but your last three choices were all wrong. Otherwise maybe Anderson is replaced by a rookie?
 
Definitely: but having a serviceable TE doesn't telegraph the play as much and add some pass deception. Ok I'm trying to tell myself he's not that bad.

Because Asiasi is not that bad and in order to have a running game the TE has to block. But you never talk about running and blocking for some reason.

fair enough.
I think that Anderson is far better as a DE than the rookies. We could add another DT for a couple of weeks.

But, yes there is a reason that the last three are the last three. BTW, who do you have as our PR and backup PR?

I am hoping that M Jones is the punt returner and they have not featured him yet because they are giving his shoulders as much time to heal as possible before he starts returning punts.
 
Unless he and BB have a wink-wink deal in place and he comes back after hes been cut but even that's a stretch.
They don’t want to take that 3M dead cap hit is the point. Otherwise, I’d have no doubt Hoyer could be a cut to get a guy on IR move.

It's dead regardless.
 
Silver lining of this game, nobody is gonna poach our players . We should be able to get back majority in PS.

Sam roberts, wade, asiasi , Tavai, jamarcus , Nixon , herron should be unclaimed in waivers and hence available for PS.
