2017 Practice Squad (and visits & workouts)

[jah]

If he did, do you really expect that they'd notice?

We would trade a 7th for him.

We would trade a 7th for him.

Or just claim him off waivers.

Hope that means Brown AND VV are healthy ( but I doubt it)

Brown, maybe. At least he practiced today (limited).

Hypothetically, VV or MM could be activated any time, since their "8 weeks" expired a couple weeks ago. They could begin practicing with the team on a 3-week (I think) roster exemption at any time.

I am hoping one of them comes back before the squealers game. Need to get some reps before that game. It seems likely that neither hogan nor cannon might play against miami

No need to play them vs MIA.

Hardison: 6031/310
... Decent athlete for his position and size:
..... 27 reps .. 25.5 vert .. 107 lj .. 4.52 ss .. 7.35 3-cone

2015 Pick #135 (Arizona St.) > CIN
(coming off college knee injury)
… made CIN-ar, but was inactive evey game

2016 - IR for season at cutdowns (shoulder)

2017 - waived by CIN in cutdowns
… signed to JAX-ps 9/20; waived 11/20

The only DL currently on the Pats PS is Grissom (Mike Purcell was waived last week to open a spot for WR/KR Bernard Reedy).

Hardison was a huge draft forum binky in 2015. Obviously hasn't done anything at the NFL level yet. I'm curious to see if Belichick decides to pull the trigger.

 

[Love The Drake]

I remember his binkiness

 

[luuked]

We may be getting a bit ahead of ourselves here with Reedy.

He may merely have been signed for an extended tryout. It's getting to be that time of year when the Pats start collecting guys they want to hold over on futures contracts.

He may also have been signed for a specific scout team purpose. He kind of duplicates the skill set for McCarron. Perhaps McCarron hasn't worked out well, or perhaps he's been poached by another team and we just haven't heard about it yet (lotta PS poaching going around the league recently).

An imminent promotion to the active roster to "fix" the return game may be among the least likely possibilities.

Bingo.

At this point I doubt that we will have someone come in around late November and suddenly become a KR or PR. It is more likely they will make Dola and Lewis be even more conservative with fair catches then putting someone new out there right when we enter crunch time.

Dude, wasn't McDermott a 6th round pick in 2017 ? Let's not get crazy yet that the guy got beat in an exhibition game. Remember when the whole board hated Cannon ? Now look at him (when healthy).

Despite the nonsense that consistently comes from the captain lets keep in mind that McDermott was considered a 1st/2nd round prospect by Kiper & co going into his final season.

But who cares if we can just apply hindsight to everything and bash the best front office in football.

 

[Love The Drake]

Am I the only one who things Eric Lee looks like James Harrison.
He's a big boy
Remember Harrison was on the Ravens practice squad juicing up I mean working hard before he got called up by Steelers.
All I'm saying is if Lee fails a random PED test I wont be surprised.
That being said if he can be a quarter as successful as Harrison was I will be stoked.
I think he immediately looks like a upgrade over Marsh at the worst.

Bill would've been better-served by picking an OLman I thought had Patriots Backup LT/LG/C written all over him: Corey Levin, who has remained on Tennessee's active (but not game-day) roster all season and whom I thought made the most sense at OL after Adam Bisnowaty was taken by the vaGiants at 200.
Time will tell, of course.

 

[PatsFan2]

Still don't understand the quietness on the M&M front??

 

[captain stone]

What's not to understand? Quietness is de rigueur at One Patriot Place.

Harrison seems a little stockier of a build to me.

Lee is a monster but you can say that about 90% of the league.

I was a big fan of Levin, but you win some you lose some.

LB Grigsby to roster from Ravens PS.

Had tryout with Pat's previously
