Patriots Official Unofficial 53-Man Roster: Pre-Season Edition

[ashley]

I asked Reiss about the CB position, he had an interesting take, they may only take 5, I was under the assumption they would definitely take 6.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Really didn't want us carrying Three QB's but Zappe ain't ready for prime time. Really hope we get some of those guys for our Practice Squad such as K Wilkerson - T Nixon and others.

Agree but I don't see him clearing waivers. I assume some day Hoyer will fact retire.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Even though my heart prefers Lil Jordan Humph it really makes sense to carry Devin Asiasi he's built like a prototypical TE which helps in Tough Running situations.

Asiasi has really done nothing to earn a roster spot.

In must-run situations an OL will be fine.

Definitely: but having a serviceable TE doesn't telegraph the play as much and add some pass deception. Ok I'm trying to tell myself he's not that bad.

In this situation, you have to strategically think who can make it to the practice squad without getting claimed. Between Lil Jordan and Asiasi, there's no question that Lil Jordan would be tougher to sneak through.

Agree. Mitchell has been very impressive, but there's too much of a log jam and I think they'd be able to get him on the Practice Squad.

Ray and Schooler I think are on. Russey is interesting, a gun to my head, I would he's on but that's a situation worth monitoring.

I can't see Schooler being a definite with us being so Roster heavy at Safety. I'll take a chance with him making our PS. I really want La Ray over L Guy though he's a lot lighter love guys who can get to the passer. Gotta make Guys like Josh Allen and Rodgers uncomfortable.

How about La Ray over Anderson? I like that!!!! Also want to find a way to keep Sam Roberts....he just shows up too much in these games.

Assuming you have a good OL (well, OT really), of course, which is debatable now. In 2011 we only kept 2 TE all year but used Solder as the 3rd TE his rookie year. That OL was stacked, the best I ever remember this team having. Marcus Cannon was also a rookie and started on PUP as he recovered from his chemo, and when he was activated he was the *4th* tackle….

Ya dude Asiasi as TE3 is a wasted roster spot.

I view 'Lil as kinda like that smallish TE we picked up from TB in 2014...forget his name but he caught like 20 balls or so and played ST here and there.

Agree but I think any fat f**k on the current roster can play outside of the RT or LT in short-yardage situations. With that said it depends on what you ask them to do. If you want them to pull, trap, hit on the 2nd level and take out a LB or a SS etc and not the garden variety in-line maul then that reduces the list of pot'l candidates.

Froob: best roster projection I have seen well done.

Nice. Mike Reiss giving 1st hand insight to @ashley1992, our double secret agent inside Fort Foxboro.

@ashley1992 is the Vera Atkins of the beginning of the third Patriots Dynasty with Mac Jones at the helm. "Vera Atkins was a firm believer in the power of ordinary citizens to wreak havoc. Stevenson writes in Spymistress that she liked invented weapons that could be assembled on the fly, and liked rats stuffed with explosives."

I'm at the office and in air conditioning and I'm ready to go home, too.

I love irony!
