Brock Vereen to Practice Squad...

[zipster9]

Is he that bad after 1 year?

Wonder if Patriots plan on converting him to a 3rd-down RB?

 

[meatface]

I guess he is that bad if the bears and lions have cut him

Well, obviously he's deemed worth a look. Had talent coming out of college and has played for 2 teams that don't develop talent well, so maybe BB can make something out of him. The flip side is there's a lot of guys that don't last too long on the ps.

Interesting....

Vereen played safety with the Chicago Bears, but he’s been practicing with the Patriots at cornerback. The Patriots might need him sooner than later, since No. 3 cornerback Justin Coleman hasn’t been practicing because of a hand injury, leaving just three healthy players at the position. “Whatever they need me to do,” Vereen said. “However I can help the team, I’m willing to do that.”

He started at corner Fr and So season at Minn. Played a few games there in 2013.

So, i have to ask the obligatory---who do you cut/IR to make room?

 

[VrabelJr]

He was considered to be a better athlete than his brother. Chicago is/was a mess.

Familiarity? Did Shane steal defensive playbooks so he could read them?

Not a clue dude. Hes PS so no need to make a decision- yet.

If Coleman is 4+ games than I would assume that Martin or King are the choices?

Pulled this from the article.

“Being around here while I was still in college, (being) familiar with some of the guys definitely helps,” Brock Vereen said Friday in the Patriots’ locker room.

Then I imagine he and Shane can both tap dance, being familiar with their cousin.

 

[RayClay]

He's certainly got speed/agility numbers of a cornerback, though.

NICE!

2014 4th rounder FS Brock Vereen played some CB in college. His brother played ok for us.

.....or you keep Brock Vereen at Safety and move McCourty to CB (even though he publicly HATES the thought).

No

No

Yeah what the hell lol? If anything Harmon just takes over full time.

Not a fan of that. Here is why and it goes for all secondary arguments about moving players around....

Butler, Ryan, McCourty, Chung. We can move these piece around all we want....arrange in order. McCourty will always be more effective at FS. Move these players around and the secondary (9 times out of 10) as a whole is weaker.

Vereen has played CB in college and IMO will backup either Butler, Ryan or Coleman.

I'm wondering if it could be the end of Tavon Wilson. He's only been active for 1 game; not even in the special teams role he was in last year. Richards passed him on the depth chart, and even Ebner played some dime last year close to the line before he got hurt.

Forgot about him.....yea, for whom the bell tolls could be Tavon

This is a fine pickup for the Practice Squad. I don't see how it would affect anyone but those on the Practice Squad.

That being said, I have Tavon Wilson at the most vulnerable player on the 53 man roster.
