Announced Patriots cuts: countdown to 53

[Patspsycho]

is slater our kr?

With kickoff being moved to the 35 yard, I think Edelman will double as KR/PR.

 

[Mack Herron]

is slater our kr?

No. Price maybe. Vereen, Butler.

 

[Mike the Brit]

Is Faulk to pup official?

According to Reiss.

 

[Simkin]

LB (8) Jerod Mayo, Brandon Spikes, Gary Guyton, Jermaine Cunningham, Rob Ninkovich, Dane Fletcher, Tracy White, Jeff Tarpinian
CB (6) Devin McCourty, Leigh Bodden, Kyle Arrington, Darius Butler, Ras-I Dowling, Antwaun Molden
FS (2) Sergio Brown, James Ihedibgo
SS (2) Patrick Chung, Josh Barrett

One of the worst groups in the league overall?

 

[Ring 6]

I'm liking this roster- and like you said, there are a few on the roster who are just seat warmers. Tarp and Butler and possibly one more.

I made a mistake (since revised) by putting Barret in as SS. He is a FS. Ihedigbo is a SS.

Call them what you wish, but I think Barrett and Chung are the starters on MNF.
We play LS and RS anyway.
One thing you can say about our current safeties though is they are fully safeties, no hybird corner/safety guy, only thumpers.

Right. Forgot he looked very good on that return.

Couldn't be worse than last year..

The only real weak link there is FS. Most teams don't have two Pro Bowlers in their back 7.

What?
Mayo, Spikes, Ninko is a very solid LB group.
Mc Courty and Bodden are a well above average set of corners.
Chung is a good safety. We have one question mark.
And aside from S there is depth everywhere.

 

[Ring 6]

Couldn't be worse than last year..

And after the first 4 weeks that team gave up the 3rd fewest points in the NFL.

 

[NEPatriot]

No. Price maybe. Vereen, Butler.

I know that Edelman has taken some kicks. Price has gotten better, but his hands on kicks have been somewhat of an issue.

We play LS and RS anyway.
One thing you can say about our current safeties though is they are fully safeties, no hybird corner/safety guy, only thumpers.

Based on what I've seen on the replay, I agree that Barrett and Chung start at safety in Miami.

 

[Armchair Quarterback]

Patriots make roster moves to reach the 53-man limit

I guess this makes it official.

Re: Yeatman cut

I could see the Chiefs picking up Yettman or Lee Smith. Their TE-Tony M tore his ACL and is out for the year.

 

[NEPats1]

Ok I feel embarrassed, can anyone tell me anything about Jeff Tarpinian?

I know he's undrafted, what made him stand out, specials teams?

 

[Ring 6]

is slater our kr?

I think it is going to end up being one of the RBs.
Slater will be back there, but as the blocker.

Total Players: 53
From PatsPicker: PATS PICKER

I count 15 players who weren't here last year (14 new players and Barrett was on IR) slightly above the annual turnover of 11-13 players IIRC,

 

[sbpatfan]

Oh no, the Cheeseburger went to IR.
