Multiple (good) TE sets will help both Tebow and Orton

maybe Bill read what i said about special teams earlier and decided to gut team of special teams players

Their all DEAD MEAT next year except for Faulk
His contract is up, but I'm confident he'll be re-signed
if he wants to play another year.

I don't see
that they have anyone groomed to replace Faulk. It’s another thing they should have been working on. It’s surprising he has been this good for this long.
Interesting that Edelman and Hernandez both got snaps in the shotgun backfield in camp...

you're right
but you can’t replace a guy like Faulk. A player either IS him – with his instincts, awareness and reliability, or else he’s just another running back taking his spot on the field.

Jermaine report
“Over the course of doing some checking for roster purposes, I found out today that Cunningham should actually be good to go this week. His ankle is healing, he could return to practice as early as Monday. He may be ready to go by Sunday.”
TRADE
The Patriots acquired safety Jarrad Page from the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for a conditional draft choice, ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reports, citing a league source.
The 25-year-old Page, who was a restricted free agent, signed his contract Friday. At 6-foot-0, 225 pounds, he is a bigger safety who could play a Brandon McGowan-type role in the box.
Interesting
Safety isn’t the position I thought they’d be trading for at the moment, but, I’m learning not to expect what I was expecting.
Keep the faith!
Remember draft day?
A lot of fans complained when they drafted McCourty, but it turns out that was one of the best picks based on the recent circumstances(Bodden…)
They may have been eyeing certain players during the preseason to see if they could pick them up come today. That’s why they send scouts out the the games right? I wonder who the next 6 cuts will be. So anxious

I thought the Chiefs would want Sanders more than the Pats would want Page.

So bye bye burgess.
hopefully that means cunningham may be good sometime this season.
sanders might get traded.
I’ll take 11 players with heart on the field over 11 guys with just talent. Talent is fleeting, it goes away over time. Heart is what drives you to be better. To push yourself beyond what you think your capabilities are. To show us that when you strive, all things are possible.- SMP
I'm also a Raider Fan dammit!!! RAIDER NATION!!!!
Without seeing film of the guy, IDK
But Aiken is very good at STs, so I doubt this guy is any better. Perhaps this is more the replacement for Alexander seeing as how he’s a LB, whereas BB may feel Aiken’s value/role is lessened by the ST ability of McCourtney
he seems decent. he's small.
I think BB would like to see what he can do in a safety/MLB hybrid role.

You have to figure that BB has players already targted
whom other teams cut. Woods, Alexander, Burgess, and etc. are guys who have piqued, and they have zero upside. I perfectly understand looking for more upside and letting these guys go.
Like the safety pick up....
….looks like Mcgowan is hobbled, and by all accounts(meaning conjecture, speculation, and wishful thinking), Page is better than him anyways.
Page can play special teams, too
McGowan was useful as a special teamer.
Token southern hemisphere guy - 14,688km from Foxboro. That's 9128 miles, for you heathens.
Who do you think we should trade, or has better trade value? Sanders or McGowan?
McGowan wasn’t very spectacular this pre-season, but I haven’t seen sanders do much either.
We obviously need someone to fill in the TE coverage, Safety/MLB type safety. So that may mean that sanders is the odd man in this situation. However, we could trade mcgowan for another guy like that, and keep sanders solely for coverage(like a 3rd cover safety. Chung is not as good in coverage as sanders at the moment, and putting sanders in for coverage downs would be ideal).
So is it still JUST sanders, or can McGowan be a possibility instead?

I was thinking that too.
but I didn’t feel that he did very well in coverage on TEs in the pre-season. Hopefully the reason is JUST because it’s pre-season, but it got me suspicious.

He could add another veteran presence to the defense which has already taken some huge losses since training camp
He already knows a lot of the plays and can sub in when the other players get gassed
Plus he had a season's worth of starting with us.
It all makes sense. I think it’d do nothing but help our situation.

They wouldn't have to pay him near what he would have gotten if they had kept him
Seems like a win-win from both sides
On an unrelated note..
….Ed Reed on the PUP list, which I believe means he won’t be on the field when we play Baltimore in week 6
OR
don’t come back WK 2, let moss catch a few TDs, just so he can try and get leverage. Which would be likely if that happens.

I would say that’s exactly what Revis is thinking. He knows his leverage skyrockets (great mixed metaphor there) if the Pats hose the Jets secondary. And to be honest, that’s likely. If Kyle Wilson looks like a rookie, or Cro-mo misses a couple tackles, Revis can just about write his own cheque.

Revis's uncle was an NFL player that held out
He was after a contract worth 5+ million, his team offered him 4. He held out for a year, and the Panthers offered him a $7M per year deal even after a year out of football.
Revis has to be aware playing hardball sometimes works.

Perfect season: Revis holds out, Jets start 0-8 or something, Revis comes in gets a contract so big it blots out the sun, Revis is lights out awesome for those 8 games, Jets JUST fail to make the playoffs (let’s say Rex’s little toyboy John Conner misses a key block and LT gets stuffed on 4th and 1), but because they’ve crippled their entire wage structure with Revis, they have to get rid of all their quality from 2011 onwards. Pace moves to New England, as does Kris Jenkins. Perfect. But Revis is still awesome.

Matthew Slater
Aiken was edged out by Matthew Slater in a battle of special teamers. That’s a surprise, given that Slater missed most of the preseason because of injury.

This I don’t understand at all
Slater has durability problems
Soooo....
There were 75 players on Aug. 31st, minus the 22 players cut (listed above), plus the 2 players the Pats just traded for, minus 1 (McGowan on IR) = 54.

I can’t wait to see what the Pats defense on 3rd and long is going to look like.
I have a feeling we’re going to see some exotic looks especially with guys like Guyton and Fletcher (converted College DE) in there. And Spikes as well.
With only 4 OLB, if someone gets dinged up, who are we going to see doing it on early downs? Fletcher? Guyton?

OL Nick Kaczur was not placed on Injured Reserve
, meaning the back surgery may have helped
If they don’t get more reinforcements, they will need him back
What we can deduce thus far:
Chung + Slater > Aiken – Chung took Aiken’s upback role in camp, and Slater takes Aiken’s coverage and ST leadership.
McKenzie seems to have squeezed out Alexander.
Ninkovich and Marques Murrell squeeze Pierre Woods out of the frame as special teamers/ depth linebackers.
Cunningham, Ninkovich, Murrell all beat out Derrick Burgess as pure outside linebackers.
Wendell beat out Ohrnberger and Larsen as inside O-linemen depth.
Welch is out, suggesting they like LeVoir and that perhaps Kaczur is coming back at some point.

Chung took over the playing roles
Slater must be 100% or close enough to now. He also provides depth at D-back, which is something to take into account considering Bodden and now McGowan are on IR.

cunningham
how likely is it that he plays this year?
Projected starting LB lineup:
MLB: Mayo, Spikes
OLBs: Murrel, Banta-Cain
If the think Cunningham is okay to play, do you think they should throw him in the starting role right away? Even with no pre-season performance? Also, would it be worth the risk of him getting injured again?

Apparently Cunningham should be ready for next week
I reckon it might be Ninkovich/Banta-Cain – Nink got the most pressure on QBs during the preseason, and did particularly well in the last game – 3 tackles for loss, a sack, and a few QB pressures.
Token southern hemisphere guy - 14,688km from Foxboro. That's 9128 miles, for you heathens.
Yeah Nink was good too.
I remember that I liked Nink last year in pre-season as well. Then he got inured(i think).
I would say Ninkonvich>Murrel.
I’ll take 11 players with heart on the field over 11 guys with just talent. Talent is fleeting, it goes away over time. Heart is what drives you to be better. To push yourself beyond what you think your capabilities are. To show us that when you strive, all things are possible.- SMP
I'm also a Raider Fan dammit!!! RAIDER NATION!!!!
Probably not starting right away
But he’ll get significant time for the first few games I’m guessing so that they can get a good look at him. If he shows promise that time could increase
