This really shouldn't be a surprise the LB's are underwhelming at this point. Bentley as the starting MLB is pedestrian. It will be nice the day Bill get's a disruptive MLB who can fly coast to coast. I think Jennings will win the job on the outside.Yep, LB is a concern and has been for a very long time. I remember when Scarnecchia retired he voiced the opinion that the LB corp was in sore need of attention. Nothing has changed in the last few years. I understand Belichick was not a fan of those first rounders like Devin lloyd but Reiss's early analysis of McGrone, Uche, and Perkins leave me, well, mcgroaning.
The LB's have been one of the pleasant surprises of camp so far. The O-Line has been underwhelming.This really shouldn't be a surprise the LB's are underwhelming at this point.

The cap hit exists regardless. As a vested vet he could be on the PS and there’s no limit to what they pay him. That’s his salary, even on the PS.Except if they cut Hoyer there's a 3 million cap hit that never comes back.
Butler and Bethel cap hit fit in better.
Where do you get that Uche isn't meeting expectations?And no McMillan. Hasn’t he been getting some first team reps along with Bentley and Mack Wilson?
Other guys I perceive as having exceeded expectations: Thornton, Godchaux, LaBryan Ray
Not meeting expectations: Mac, Onwenu, Uche

You're disappointed because Perkins is learning to play the game out of a 2 point stance and learning defense he's never been in?Need more LB's in that First Group very disappointed in Ronnie Perkins based on Draft status and hype.
The Pats may carry 6 CBs not including Bethel. I just don't see Bryant making it. He was outclassed badly against McKenzie and Davis last season. Contrary to PFF, Bryant was responsible for 2 TDs.That last cb on the roster is going to be interesting. Is it Wade, J. Williams, Butler, Bethel, Bryant?
This year there is a shadow roster where three veterans are allowed to move back and forth from the practice squad for the first few weeks without going through waivers or being counted on the 53.
I think Butler and Bethel are candidates.
If injuries don't make the decision for us, then I expect the 6th CB would be Butler if he's good enough for a spot, otherwise it would just be 5. The only real point in having 6+ CB is if you really, really don't want to part with all of them, because they won't all get on the field.The Pats may carry 6 CBs not including Bethel.

Yeah, I think we're on the same page here DaBruinz, don't want to see him get any meaningful snaps after last year's performance.The Pats may carry 6 CBs not including Bethel.
