Sealver Siliga eligible to practice

[Deus Irae]

That would be the dumbest thing we could do.

Casey Walker has been fantastic.

You're confusing your players. Casey Walker is not #75, and he has not been fantastic.

 

[Marqui]

I wouldn't cut Walker, I'd like to keep as much DT depth as possible.

Casey Walker has been fantastic. Well deserving of a roster spot. I'd easily cut Chris Jones or Zach Moore before him.

Walker has been serviceable - not fantastic. Wilfork has been fantastic.

Cut Moore? Too much upside and he would never clear waivers.

Not sure whats going on with Jones. Hasn't shown up much these last two games.

 

[Canuck]

Yes, three weeks, which have long passed. NE can do whatever they please with Walker.

Thanks, I never knew that. Walker was signed when Siliga was injured and with the signing of Branch and Siliga coming back, that would make Walker another good choice to be cut and try to get him back to the PS.

 

[RayClay]

Walker should go, as long as Branch can play at all three run stffers is enough. Chris Jones is a different type of player, especially needed until Easly get's settled/healthy.

I like Tyms, but like him or not, why wouldn't we throw him in ridiculous long ball situations until he fails? He's a reserve weapon with a role. Shakes up a defense too.

Or have we forgotten that Slater was the long threat substitute for a long time?

I wonder if I was the only one watching LaFell (who I like very much) straining in vain for those deep balls last Sunday and wishing it were Tyms?

It's really not been a priority, but we've always needed that one situational guy that can fly. I think LaFell is much better mid range with his powerful YAC. To have this guy for cheap that you can throw in there to loosen up the shoes on those defenders is a prize, as far as I'm concerned.

Cut Garapollo

 

[Marqui]

Do we need Chris White?

 

[Family]

Do we need Chris White?

He played on 4 units of special teams VS the Broncos

 

[IcyPatriot]

My guess would be Casey Walker.

He does get knocked on his ass a bit.

 

[Deus Irae]

Cut Garapollo

If only he didn't play on special teams....

 

[patsfan-1982]

Why cut a DL at all?

Does Tyms do anything on special teams? He hasn't done anything on Offense since the Bills game, does he even get on the field?

he only has one rec and has only played in 4 games but even with that said he still has more yards and games played then Dobson and DA is averaging one rec per game played Brady needs all the opt he can get at WR come playoff time

Wilfork + Siliga + Branch + Chris Jones + Easley is a pretty fair helping of beef, IMO -- and Walker seems like a pretty good bet to clear waivers.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

Can't wait to see siliga back in the field. I am hoping he plays with better leverage but the same power he had last season.

 

[RayClay]

He does get knocked on his ass a bit.

PS or speed dial would be fine. Too much beef with Branch added, for a passing league. need penetrators too.

Was watching 'the Brady 6' again yesterday; and was reminded how we kept 4 QBs that year. With the discussion above -as hard as it is to find ONE GUY everyone could agree on cutting (even to PS); I just have to say....... The depth has come a LONG WAY in the last ten years. Could you imagine trying to find space for TWO MORE QBs this year!

(Also, I think if you asked BB about the art of roster mgmt and how it has changed since 2000 he would give one of his ten min expositions on increased number of specialist roles - how number of "starters" is now effectively #>22, etc etc)

 

[doesntmatter1]

To make room, I would cut Devey. Seriously, who would pick him up after the way he has played?

Not the worst idea. If you cut Walker, you cut somebody who's been getting actual reps before you've proved that his replacement can get the job done on the field in his injury return.

Even more so when you consider that they only had 51 guys on the roster that year!
