GunnerBill Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 To be honest, with Ragland and Shaq hurt and Dareus suspended, I had trouble finding a 53rd guy for the front 7. I don't think they're going to keep 11 DBs, so it came down to identifying the DL/DT/LB/EDGE guy with the most updside/versatility, so I went with Strike. I also had to stretch to find an 8th OLmen worth keeping given how poorly Velasco has played. I know he's not great, but it would be huge if Henderson could get healthy and be available; 2 backup OTs and a backup interior guy seems the way to go to me (at least with the current crop of players). Now, that may change if they feel that another interior guy from someone else's cuts is their best option. not for the first time..... I second all of what bandit said ^^.

Blokestradamus Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Thanks...in fact, I went back and edited my post to put Henderson on the final 53 I'm not exactly sure on roster designations. I know Henderson can't go back to an NFI designation once he's been cleared but, if he's not ready for action, can he be put on the PUP list for the time being? I will learn this stuff one day.

I think the PUP list deadline has passed--I believe it's available up until the first TC practice. From now on, it's IR, IR-DTR, or active roster only.

From now on, it's IR, IR-DTR, or active roster only. Yup. There are two different PUP lists (preseason and regular season) but once a player practices during training camp all PUP options are off the table. You only get to the regular season PUP list if you were already on the preseason PUP list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I know that Marrone tried Kouandjio at guard at one point (out of desperation to find something he didn't suck at one presumes) but one presumes that if they go that route of 2 backup OTs backing up two positions (Henderson and Kujo) and only one back up interior guy (Groy) backing up three positions they try and cross train either Kujo or Seantrel to slide inside if required?

26CornerBlitz Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 This guy might be worth a look. @RapSheet A stunner: Former starting center Bryan Stork is being released by the #Patriots today, I'm told. Crazy. @GregABedard Greg A. Bedard Retweeted Ian Rapoport Andrews is better, Stork has injury issues, not as versatile as others.
