Amazing the art of Pats roster building

Last two area of possible need for #Patriots IMO upgrade the 4th SAF spot from Richards and Punt Returner.

I still would like to be a little better at DE, but given our talented roster, I really can't complain too much.

BB giving up on draft.. esp. those 5th rounders

Miguel and Reiss will probably be up all night trying to sort out whether the Pats have any picks left or not.

Did someone say Grissom was cut? What an awful third round pick. They tried to replace him at Oklahoma, couldn't find a place there! How in the world did he go that high in the draft?

Measurables and raw workout. On paper -- like a certain Jake Bequette -- he looks like the ideal DE but could never put it together during a game. He most probably is what Lombardi calls a card player (?) where he shines in practice when he knows exactly what to do but during the game just cant do it by himself.

I get that players fizzling out like that is annoying but for every Bequette or Grissom you also get a Flowers. At least he had ST value.

Still lotta moves to be made yet.

 

[maineman209]

Suddenly occurs to me that Marsh may be McClellin's replacement.

Looking good for Bolden escaping the guillotine again.

Bolden's a made man.

People continue to deny it, just like they denied Slater when he came in.

I believe Ill give up on 53 game though ..

I mean 4 ST guys who never even saw the Foxboro field added last moment . and its not even over yet..

At least injury insurance but he seems to have the potential to be more Nink/Ealy replacement.

Bequette had about ZERO ST value, IIRC.

 

[patchick]

...thus the trades.

Definitely less than Freeny or Grissom. But again the traits were there and if you keep drafting that far down you gotta swing for value more often than not.

Looks like Grissom st replacement and 3rd down de depth.
but then we really don't know what was expected from mcclellin to know what would be replaced.

In practice the play being run, especially by the scout team, is held up as a diagram on a large index card in the huddle.

BB brings new toys for TC . then trades for the players he needs on Sundays

I think you misunderstood my question mark. I know the index card thingy, I just wasnt sure if I was messing up the name of the Lombardism.

THE ROLLERCOASTER CONTINUES.. LETS GO..

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

I think the best trade of today was the Marsh trade. We have Ninkovich 2.0!

Given that it makes sense to both of us in the context given I don't think you did.
