Back to practice today and as always, we have you covered. It's an early one today with the schedule below:

In case anyone missed it, we signed a CB yesterday, will this finally mean SloJuan is cut

Some Schooler love: Is he trending to make the team as an udfa? I think most of us agree that Bryan will make it, but do two? Good block below:

Right now I have both Schooler and Ray just outside my 53. I was ready to include Ray, but then Roberts went and had a good game and I prefer him now (seems to be more balanced in his skillset).

Schooler seems to me like the type of player who starts out on the PS, maxes out the number of games he can be elevated from there to play in, then gets signed to the 53 permanently.

Is blocking while running towards your own goal-line legal?

Is blocking while running towards your own goal-line legal?

As long as you don't block the opposing team in the back, yes.

 

[Mike the Brit]

As long as you don't block the opposing team in the back, yes.

Remember the Anfernee Jennings block that was penalized and so called back a punt return touchdown?

That was explained as being illegal for being a block back towards one's own goal line with forcible contact. Vinovich "It was a block back towards his own end line, with forceable [sic] contact."

Patriots: Official explanation for penalty on Gunner Olszewski punt return TD is garbage

An NFL referee went ahead and explained why Anfernee Jennings was flagged for his block on Gunner Olszewski's punt return TD that screwed the Patriots.

Horrible call!!

 

[Mike the Brit]

Horrible call!!

Yes. But not -- according to the referee in a statement afterwards -- a mistake. If not, then the Schooler block should have been called too.

I've never seen that block called before for a penalty other than against Jennings.

Same here, but there have been numerous other ridiculous calls based on the "blindside block" rule.

NFL's Foolish 'Blindside Block' Rule Rears Its Ugly Head In Saints-Cowboys Thursday Night Game

The block looked ... like a block. Like a block made 10 million times before on every field that's held a football game in the history of the sport. It was ... a block.

Desperately needs to be re-written.

First cuts to 85 are due tomorrow. I believe that the Pats are at 86, so if any of the Patriot players on the bubble are reading this, try not to be the only guy that fails miserably at practice today.
