Yup, a fine message. The patriots don't want you, so sign should sign somewhere else as a #2 or #3 QB, if ANY team will take you.I equate it to when BB cut Patrick Pass to light a fire under him. I think he'd do that to Zappe to send a message. If not, so be it.
I know people have liked what Ekuale showed, which is why I have the Pats bringing him back. But I think it's telling that BB was looking to add someone else on the Interior DLine with McCall. That's why I went the direction I did. I'm not sure that another team would claim him.
Zappe has real NFL experience and did decently in it when the games counted. It’s crazy to cut Zappe and assume that no one out there would consider him for a back up role.I equate it to when BB cut Patrick Pass to light a fire under him.

If Mac gets hurt, which is a very clear possibility behind a fragile offensive line, we’d be completely screwed. We can make do with Zappe for a few games, at least.
Surprisingly Bryant has look solid in coverage.. however I won't get to ahead of myself.. he will continue to be every opposing QBs favorite target this season.People love to hate him, but Bryant well over Wade. Bryant will be on the 53.
Definitely agree, Zapp is what he is, a back up in the NFL. No shame in that. He can make a decent living that way.if he career trajectory went as such. This O line would even get Mahomes killed if he had to play behind it.Zappe has real NFL experience and did decently in it when the games counted.

Bryant is only good in ZONE coverage. Considering the amount of MAN coverage the Pats play, he's not a fit.Surprisingly Bryant has look solid in coverage.. however I won't get to ahead of myself.. he will continue to be every opposing QBs favorite target this season.

You nailed it. Bill keeps both Folk and the big leg rookie.I have a feeling we will go with 2 kickers .
And for remaining 2 spots it should be someone external across OT and Myles Bryant/Wade.
Some of us were hoping that that would be Shaun Wade.I think Myles Bryant might be the biggest benefactor of Devin McCourty’s retirement.
If Nick Folk is on the 53 for game one, his $1.69 million dollar salary becomes guaranteed for the season. That’s a whole lot of money for an insurance policy in case the kicker you traded a 6th rounder to move up in the 4th to pick should flop. Especially considering that Bill has twice in the last few seasons cut Folk in the last cutdown and stashed him in the PS for a week or two to avoid guaranteeing his contract.You nailed it. Bill keeps both Folk and the big leg rookie.
We need to make a trade for a legitimate OT. I say Joshua Bledsoe to Detroit for Germain Ifedi or Matt Nelson. They need a safety.

If they're going to but Folk, I would expect it to be today. They may indeed keep 2.You nailed it. Bill keeps both Folk and the big leg rookie.

Not true with the defense, which is strong.This roster has few stars and woeful backups.
Yep. You have a point re backups on defense. No question. This fact does highlight the issue, however, of the inexplicable asymmetry in talent offense vs defense, so this embarrassment of riches on defense is not unalloyedly good news.Not true with the defense, which is strong.
The offense needed an infusion of talent, esp at tackle, TE, and WR. Got one of three squared away in the draft.
Last year we had the second oldest roster at offense. Can’t say that it has changed much.
