Roster cutdowns - PATRIOTS

[Ring 6]

OTOH, at "traditional" DE, they have only Flowers and Wise, who they probably wouldn't want to expose to injury.

At LB, aside from HT, Harris and Van Noy, they have only Roberts (still with bruised ribs), McLellin (in witness protection, apparently), Freeny, Bates and Ellis.

It may be more just making sure they have a complete positional roster surrounding the guys who they still want to evaluate than it is about giving these new guys a tryout.

I think wise will play a handful of snaps this week
I think we will see him butler Grissom langi and the new guys handling the de reps.

WHO?

 

[Ring 6]

WHO?

I'm not touching the first name but usher and Miley Cyrus are clearly here for entertainment purposes.

 

[The Gr8est]

WHO?

The three newest guys added to the Rolodex.

They won't make the team yet but BB gets some first hand intel.

Don't diss Miley Bart. He comes in like a wrecking ball.

It's actually Mikey Bart. From UNC.

Also, any player who the Pats might want to bring back from IR must still be on the roster after cutdowns. So, there may be a couple of "head-scratcher" cuts over the weekend who will be restored to the 53 after those guys are moved to IR on Monday.

Unlikely given that neither Edelman or Rivers seem like return candidates and none of the players important enough to utilize that technique with will see the field this week.

IDK. I've been thinking that the Pats might do that with Garcia and/or McLellin. Unless they've been moved to WitSec already.

Bolden, Waddle and Freeny are all vested vets, IIRC, who could be cut for a day and brought back.

I pride myself on in-depth amateur scouting, and I actually don't have notes on any of these guys. Camp fodder at best.

I am fighting making a joke about that first name SO HARD.

Yep. It is torment.

Most probable however who had Malcom Butler on their watch list?
Show of hands

I wonder if they call his kids "little ......"

At least his first name is generally fine. I'm sure you remember this guy....

Nah, fair enough, but I had double-digits our draft picks/UDFAs predicted this year, so I feel pretty good about my ability to peg Patriots-type players.

These guys probably won't amount to anything. I'll gladly be wrong, though.

Trust me, it won't bite.

Grew up in the Detroit area, so, yeah, I remember him. Everybody just called him "Rusty".

 

[fnordcircle]

Brady gives it to Kuntz.

Kuntz was absolutely slammed there.

Thinks about giving it to Kuntz and then takes it to the endzone instead.

Oh lord, my life is complete.
