How Many LB's Will NE Carry?

[sebman2112]

I'm saying ten, and here's who I think makes the team:

OLB:
1. AD
2. Colvin
3. Vrabel
4. Woods
5. Rogers

ILB:
6. Bruschi
7. Seau
8. Lua
9. Izzo
10. Mays

Maybe Alexander, but I'm not sure he's anything special. You could put Alexander on the roster and Rogers on the practice squad, though.

What do you think?

I said ten, but how many do they usually carry?

I think rogers and lau are getting a rooster based on ?.just curious.

We usually carry 9 linebackers. I would delete Mays from your list.

If Lua AND Rogers are good enough to make the 53, I'll be thrilled. I'll be happy if ONE of them shows anything.

No, sometimes they've carried around 11-12 LB's, and seem to usually carry around 10.

My opinion.

After trying to find out more about them as players and civilians, and especially after watching/knowing Lua's game, reading what he's said about the team, what they've said about him, and some other factors. I also said Rogers could start on the practice sqaud. Anways, I don't expect either to get cut, but who knows.

It depends on how many WRs become WR/LB.

I think they are going to carry 6 active WR's, and start as many as two (Brown & Jackson) on PUP.

The Pats have carried anywhere from 9-13 LBs under the BB era.
