Ian Rapoport reporting Chris Taylor cut

[Deus Irae]

Yup.
Patriots have change of heart on Taylor - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston

Interesting.....


Could mean that they've decided not to have Maroney/Taylor taking many, or any, snaps on Thursday.

They probably took a closer evaluation of the PT they'll be handing out on Thurs nite and realized they would need C. Taylor to spare the other RBs and take all those 4th quarter garbage carries.

This adds credence to the 5 RB committee theory.

Agreed - and specifically it would suggest BJGE is more firmly entrenched in that committee than previously thought.

True....or maybe Clayton is teh one cut..lol...they will need one or both...

Hmm, I had forgotten about him. Still, fact remains it seems they are sparing BJGE from some reps on Thursday, so I'd say it seems likely he will be on the squad.

Reiss tweeted that Patriots told Taylor's agent that they want him to play in preseason finale.

I think quite the opposite.I think that keeping Taylor means that BJGE isn't firmly entrenched and that BJGE will, again, see snaps in the next game and that Taylor is a lot closer to BJGE than people believe.
