Suprising. Thought he'd struggle to get out of camp next year but thought he'd be useful depth through camp.

 

[Joey007]

Ahh that's a bit surprising, I liked his performance out there early, especially against Houston. Thought he would make some nice depth.

 

[VectorPrime]

Let the culling begin. Next up Marcus Cannon

 

[Joey007]

Perhaps this could mean though that
A. Tarrell Brown may be resigned.
B. They have confidence in Daryl Roberts.
C. They will be looking out of house in FA/draft for corner depth.

He was so bad after the Texans/Titans games.

 

[manxman2601]

Will say that Justin Coleman is the better nickel corner going forward however.

 

[JMC00]

B. They have confidence in Daryl Roberts.

Think it was evident Belichick has confidence in Roberts when he, not Ryan or Brown started with the other starters in the 1st pre season game

Or
D. Rashaan Melvin call up incoming!!!

If so, then BB is killing it with late round/undrafted corners as of late.

BB didn't like his dance moves

Preseason games are for evaluating personnel. I think they had a pretty good idea about Ryan and Brown.

Up from the depths he sank to last season?

 

[Ross12]

It is a somewhat curious move. Why release him now?

Yea he was slow in picking up WRs a couple of times.

IMO Coleman was tighter in coverage.

No. He never recovered from the scorching from the 2014 playoff game vs BAL.

Not sure if there is correlation but I like Roberts. Not sure expectation meets reality- yet.

So Belichick has been eating at Popeye's?
