Patriots Set Initial Practice Squad

Patriots Set Initial Practice Squad

It’s important to remember that everything is fluid at this time of year, and really for most of the season. The Patriots never stop churning at the bottom of their roster, bringing guys in, sending guys out, recycling those same guys a week or two later. Roster building is never done, but they have to start somewhere so here’s the initial 2018 practice squad and some notes on each player.

New England Patriots Final 53 Man Roster Projection

With the preseason completed, and the regular season just over the horizon it’s finally time to publish my final projections for the Patriots roster.

A quick note before we get into the specifics, players like Julian Edelman who are slated to miss some time will not be included on this list as he is effectively not counting against the 53 man roster until his activation in week five.

With that out of the way, let’s begin:

Quarterback (2)

Tom Brady

Brian Hoyer

Running Back (5)

Rex Burkhead

James White

Sony Michel

Jeremy Hill

Brandon Bolden

Fullback (1)

James Develin

Wide Receiver (5)

Chris Hogan

Phillip Dorsett

Cordarelle Patterson

Riley McCaron

Matthew Slater

Tight End (3)

Rob Gronkowski

Dwayne Allen

Jacob Hollister

Offensive Line (8)

Trent Brown

Joe Thuney

David Andrews

Shaq Mason

Marcus Cannon

LaAdrian Waddle

Ted Karras

Cole Croston

Defensive End (5)

Trey Flowers

Adrian Clayborn

Derek Rivers

Deatrich Wise

Keionta Davis

Defensive Tackle (5)

Danny Shelton

Lawrence Guy

Malcom Brown

Adam Butler

Vincent Valentine

Linebacker (5)

Dont’a Hightower

Kyle Van Noy

Ja’Waun Bentley

Elandon Roberts

Nicholas Grigsby

Cornerback (6)

Stephon Gilmore

Eric Rowe

Jonathan Jones

JC Jackson

Duke Dawson

Cyrus Jones

Safety (5)

Devin McCourty

Duron Harmon

Patrick Chung

Nate Ebner

Jason McCourty

Specialists (3)

Stephen Gostkowski

Ryan Allen

Joe Cardona

The toughest selections on this list came down to three players:

Marquis Flowers showed sparks last season, but he hasn’t had a very good preseason to this point while Grigsby has shown that he’s not just a special teams body and can make plays in open field.

The inclusion of Cole Croston over Matt Tobin is another one that could really go either way. As I see it, LaAdrian Waddle can fill in at tackle should an injury occur at the position, but with Tobin the the mix as well there’s no clear cut solution at backup guard than Ted Karras. Croston gives the Patriots options in the interior line, but also leaves them thin at tackle depth. The Pats could elect to go with nine players on the offensive line, and it wouldn’t totally shock me for this reason.

Finally, Cyrus Jones has had a brutal start to his NFL career. After an awful rookie season on both special teams and defense, his season came to an unfortunate early end in the preseason last year due to a torn ACL. His recovery has been a long road, but he was finally looking like a decent option at returner this preseason. At the end of the day, the Patriots need a punt returner and don’t have many options, so it may be Cyrus Jones’ time to shine at long last. I don’t have hope for him at cornerback, but perhaps he could evolve into a Brandon Bolden or Matthew Slater role and make all his contributions on special teams and not his given position.

That’ll do it. I feel fairly good about this list, but there’s always the possibility of a trade (as what happened with Jordan Richards this morning) or signing other teams’ sendoffs from the waiver wire tomorrow. 

As with last season, expect coverage before and after each Patriots game in the form of previews and Three Up - Three Down. In addition, I’ll be testing out a new feature currently entitled Halftime Hits, in which a short summary of thoughts will be published during halftime of each game starting week three. I hope you all look forward to this additional content.

Until then (and I’m so glad to be able to say this again after a long offseason),

Go Pats.

Chiefs, Patriots missing key defensive players for matchup

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Both the Chiefs and Patriots are without key defensive starters for their Sunday night matchup.

Unbeaten Kansas City won’t have one of their top pass rushers with defensive lineman Justin Hamilton inactive with a hamstring Injury. Hamilton is third on the team with three sacks. He injured the hamstring in last week’s win over Jacksonville. Rookie Breeland Speaks will likely start in his place. Safety Eric Berry missed another week of practice and continues to recover from the heel injury that has kept him sidelined all season.

Defensive tackle Malcolm Brown is inactive for New England after starting all five games this season. Brown was slowed this week by a knee injury. Cornerback Eric Rowe is active after missing three straight games with a groin injury.

The full list of inactive players:

KANSAS CITY-NEW ENGLAND

Chiefs: S Eric Berry, S Eric Murray, RB Darrel Williams, LB Justin Houston, OL Kahil McKenzie, DL Justin Hamilton, LB Tanoh Kpassagnon.

Patriots: CB JC Jackson, DE Keionta Davis, DL Malcom Brown, DL Geneo Grissom, OL Cole Croston, OL Ted Karras, DE John Simon.

2018 Patriots 53 Man Roster Projection 2.0

Here is my second 53 man roster projection for the 2018 Patriots. I’ll have more out after preseason games. Locks are in bold. Suspended, PUP, and IR players are at the bottom. Have at it:

QB (2): Tom Brady, Brian Hoyer No questions about the top two. Brady got off to a bit of a rusty start in camp, but seems back to his normal self. Hoyer's experience in the system makes him the clearcut backup. Etling has been inconsistent at best, and hasn't shown enough for the team to consider keeping three quarterbacks. A year on the practice squad would be ideal for him. RB (5): Rex Burkhead, James White, Sony Michel, Jeremy Hill, Brandon Bolden I've expected the team to keep four backs throughout the offseason, but Michel's injury opens up a spot for another of Jeremy Hill, Brandon Bolden, and Mike Gillislee. Burkhead, White, and Michel are locks, with the expectation that Burkhead will split some of the early down responsibilities with Hill as Michel gets his legs back under him. Depending on Michel's return timetable, the team could keep four backs and add a developmental player at linebacker (Ja'Whaun Bentley) or edge defender (Eric Lee, Keionta Davis, Harvey Langi)... or, of course, make a trade (John Simon?). WR (6): Chris Hogan, Kenny Britt, Phillip Dorsett, Cordarrelle Patterson, Eric Decker, Matthew Slater This is the worst wide receiver group the team has had going into week one since 2013, and its floor might be lower than that (which is scary). However, with the week five return of Edelman and projected growth in the system for Britt and Dorsett, the group's upside might rival the 2016 Edelman/Hogan/Amendola/Mitchell outfit, especially with Rob Gronkowski as the top tight end over Martellus Bennett. Britt is my breakout guy for the 2018 Patriots. He's still young (29) even though it feels like he's been around forever, and just had over 1,000 yards with Bad Case Keenum and Rookie Jared Goff throwing to him on the 2016 "We're Not Fucking Going 7-9" Rams. Check out my case for Britt here. Dorsett's side sessions with Brady and glowing praise from coaches and teammates alike, coupled with his flashes of upside in 2017 lead me to believe he has real upside as the fourth receiver with Edelman back after September. He just looks so smooth... admittedly, most of this is theoretical/projection. I only include Decker because of Edelman's suspension and his reported $1.9M contract. I doubt he'll be on the team if the other receivers are healthy after week 5. He really struggled creating separation last year. If I had to present a case for him: he was better late in the season and into the playoffs, has some background in the system, and was coming off major hip and shoulder surgery last year. Also, his wife calls him "Big Dick Decker" ... so there's that. I give Patterson almost no shot to carve out a role for himself as a receiver through anything more than reverse/bubble screen gadgetry. If he does, based on his past with learning playbooks, this team is probably in trouble. FB (1): James Develin Overlooked as a crucial component of the offense. Remember the Patriots playing Shaq Mason at fullback at times in 2015? TE (3): Rob Gronkowski, Jacob Hollister, Dwayne Allen No questions here beyond the Patriots maybe asking Allen to restructure his contract, or releasing him with the hope of bringing him back at a salary more in line with his role and production. Gronk will serve as the top tight end, and I think both Hollister and Allen will play a role as tight ends 2a and 2b. Think of Allen as Michael Williams (except he makes $5M... ugh) and Hollister as a rich man's Tim Wright, with upside to become Gronkowski's second best post-Hernandez sidekick (miss you, Marty). OL (9): Trent Brown, Joe Thuney, David Andrews, Shaq Mason, Marcus Cannon, Isaiah Wynn, LaAdrian Waddle, Cole Croston, Ted Karras I count the top seven players on the list as locks, leaving competition for one, maybe two offensive line spots. I give those to the incumbents in Croston and Karras because (a) none of the veterans (Bowanko, John, Schwenke, Tobin) the team brought in have separated themselves and (b) experience and trust in the system. I see some people cutting Croston in projections, and while I understand it, I think the team carrying him on the roster for all of last year means they really like him.

I’ve pushed for the team to try Wynn at left guard as a way to simply play their five best linemen, but based on the early returns from camp, it doesn’t seem like the team is strongly considering it at this point. Too bad. I think Wynn is a lot better than Thuney, and a Wynn-Andrews-Mason interior would absolutely maul people with Brown and Cannon flanking.

Trent Brown was such a masterstroke trade by Belichick. From everything we’ve heard, he looks like the team’s best lineman. I’ll bet he upgrades on Solder, at 20% of the cap hit. If the marriage continues to benefit both sides into the season, I think they make a push to extend him similarly to Marcus Cannon in 2016. The team continues to bring in veterans on the interior of the offensive line, which coupled with the depth at that spot that already existed on the roster leads me to the conclusion that Shaq Mason is the WTF Trade Candidate for this year's training camp. I won't predict it, but I had to get it out there. ED (4): Trey Flowers, Deatrich Wise, Adrian Clayborn, Derek Rivers No surprises here. These four guys are locks, and the team will try to make this its four man edge defender rotation. With Wise's training camp jump, Flowers and Clayborn's proven production, and Belichick's praise for Rivers (coupled with his significant talent), I'm optimistic it'll work. Eric Lee, Harvey Langi, or Keionta Davis could sneak on, though Davis has been playing inside at times during practice. If John Simon becomes available I would think the Patriots inquire. Simon is the way-too-obvious trade or cutdown target for the Patriots this preseason. DT (4): Danny Shelton, Lawrence Guy, Malcom Brown, Vincent Valentine Shelton, Guy, and Brown are established as the top rotation, with Shelton the clear top dog and Guy and Brown as solid 2a/2b rotational pieces. All three will ideally wind up playing a similar number of snaps. I wouldn't read much into Brown being "demoted" to the second unit. Valentine makes the team over Adam Butler, a meh situational pass rusher with no value on early downs and therefore very little depth value on the team. Valentine is a great fill in option as a big defensive tackle if one of Shelton, Guy, or Brown get nicked. If Shaq Mason was a possible WTF Trade Candidate, Malcom Brown may be one on a smaller scale, due to the presence of Valentine, Butler's proven ability to be a replacement level situational pass rusher, and Brown's expiring contract. John Atkins has also opened a couple of eyes during camp. The possible spot for a Brown trade: Detroit, who might be looking at starting Ricky Jean Francois at defensive tackle. Who knows, maybe they throw in Golden Tate, whose contract also expires after this season! (yes, I know they won't throw in Golden Tate. Just let me have my fun)... LB (6): Dont'a Hightower, Kyle Van Noy, Marquis Flowers, Brandon King, Elandon Roberts, Christian Sam The top five are either locks or very close to it, especially based on Elandon Roberts' heavy usage during camp (usage I expect to fizzle significantly come September). Hightower and Van Noy are the horses, with Roberts and Flowers playing situationally, and Sam developing behind the scenes. If either one of Hightower or Van Noy goes down, the Patriots have experience mixing and matching to fill in their roles, but against the best offenses and offensive minds, they're in trouble. Get those two to January. Roberts was atrocious last year, but he has experience in the system and Belichick apparently trusts him. With the prevalence of big nickel as a base defense, though, I don't think his thumper linebacker role will come into play much with Hightower and Van Noy healthy. I do expect Marquis Flowers to carve out a role for himself on passing downs, moving Hightower to the edge, bumping Trey Flowers inside, and letting Brian Flores get creative with pass rush looks. Typing that sent a wonderful chill down my spine. Ja'Whaun Bentlely was the victim of Michel's injury forcing me to keep five running backs, as he's the last guy out in this projection. I don't exactly weep for the team not being able to keep two complete negatives on passing plays at linebacker, though. Sam has been playing over him in practice. CB (6): Stephon Gilmore, Eric Rowe, Duke Dawson, Jason McCourty, JC Jackson, Ryan Lewis I've been banging the "keep six corners" drum for months, and Lewis and Jackson's strong camps have only added fuel to the fire. Gilmore and Rowe will start. The team should try to extend Rowe at some point, similar to what they did with Van Noy last year. Dawson has been seeing top slot reps, though the team experimented with McCourty outside and Rowe in the slot during the week. I like that corner trio more in a vacuum, though it may lack shiftiness against certain receiver types. I think the slot will vacillate based on matchups. McCourty could be in trouble without a strong preseason, as Jackson and Lewis carry more long term upside and the team saves almost $3M by cutting him before the season. McCourty was great last year, though, and cutting him would leave the team with unproven depth behind Gilmore and Rowe on the outside. Jackson and Lewis emerging allows Jonathan Jones to stay on PUP and come back fully ready to go during the season. With no corner as a lock to make the team beyond Gilmore and Dawson signed beyond this year, Jackson and Lewis making the team would allow for more continuity at the position in 2019. The team should go to great lengths to avoid adding their names to the list of young corners that got away (Darryl Roberts, Justin Coleman, Cre'Von LeBlanc, Troy Hill, Rashaan Melvin, Kenny Moore). S (4): Devin McCourty, Patrick Chung, Duron Harmon, Eddie Pleasant The top trio stays the top trio, and I try to prepare myself for seeing Duron Harmon wear 21. I don't buy that he'll usurp Chung as the safety alongside McCourty, but stranger things have happened.

Goodbye, Jordan Richards. Eddie Pleasant takes the mantle of dime safety/core special teamer from Richards, with proven competence in the role, and allows Nate Ebner to fully recover from his ACL tear by starting the season on the PUP list. Duke Dawson, Ryan Lewis, and JC Jackson's value as special teamers shouldn't be overlooked as it relates to the safety/special teams mix, either. That is a major part of what allows the team to keep ten DBs while not being forced to keep five safeties. Special Teams (3): Stephen Gostkowski, Joe Cardona, Ryan Allen The triumvirate returns for another season. No questions on Gostkowski or Cardona, but Allen's battle with Corey Bojorquez in the preseason bears watching. Bojorquez has a monster leg.

Suspended: Julian Edelman

PUP: Nate Ebner, Jonathan Jones, Cyrus Jones

IR: Malcolm Mitchell

Patriots Preseason Week 4: Bubble About to Burst

Patriots Preseason Week 4: Bubble About to Burst

  I have to admit, I love the annual tradition of the preseason Week 4 scrubfest against the Giants. Yes, it’s grown into an unfortunate reminder of 42 and 46, but at this point, even those games bring a little nostalgia. Though 2007 can never be topped as the worst loss ever, the two more Super Bowl wins have largely canceled those…

Patriots can explore multiple avenues to fill big void at left tackle – New England Patriots Blog

[ad_1]

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – No NFL team has all of its questions answered at this point, and for the New England Patriots, the top one is, “How do they fill the void with starting left tackle Nate Solder departing in free agency?”

Sparked by a suggestion from Twitter follower @illegalact, let’s break down some options in three categories:

Patriots and Eagles Super Bowl inactives include Kenny Britt, Alan Branch, Sidney Jones

The teams released their lists of seven inactive players.

The Patriots and Eagles released their inactive lists for Sunday’s Super Bowl 52 in Minneapolis. Both can only dress 46 players off their 53-man rosters.

Patriots inactives

DT Alan Branch

RB Mike Gillislee

LB David Harris

OG Cole Croston

WR Kenny Britt

TE Jacob Hollister

WR Bernard Reedy

Branch was at a Panda Express in the Mall of America on Sunday, so his being declared inactive isn’t the most surprising thing. He made six starts at defensive tackle over the course of the season, but the Super Bowl is his sixth consecutive game inactive. Britt, who spent most of the season with the Browns, hasn’t been inactive all postseason.

Eagles inactives

OT Will Beatty

WR Marcus Johnson

CB Sidney Jones

DE Steven Means

DT Elijah Qualls

RB Wendell Smallwood

DT Destiny Vaeao

The Eagles’ inactive list is almost the same as it was in the NFC Championship against the Vikings. The only change is that linebacker Dannell Ellerbe joins the lineup, replacing defensive tackle Vaeao.

The Eagles and Patriots both have a bunch of guys on injured reserve.

The Eagles are missing quarterback Carson Wentz, left tackle Jason Peters, running back Darren Sproles, kicker Caleb Sturgis, and linebacker Jordan Hicks, among others. The Patriots don’t have linebacker Dont’a Hightower, receiver Julian Edelman, tight end Martellus Bennett, offensive lineman Marcus Cannon, and defensive back Nate Ebner.

Those players are all, obviously, out, in addition to everyone on the active rosters who won’t suit up. The teams’ final injury reports were light, but they aren’t at full strength.

NFL rushing leader Gurley inactive as Rams rest starters

December 31, 2017  (AP)(STL.News) —NFL rushing leader Todd Gurley of the Los Angeles Rams is inactive for Sunday’s home regular-season finale against the San Francisco 49ers.

Gurley will finish the regular season with 1,305 yards rushing. Also resting for the playoffs are center John Sullivan, left tackle Andrew Whitworth and defensive tackle Aaron Donald.

The Rams clinched the NFC West title last weekend and first-year coach Sean McVay is opting to rest several of his stars. Quarterback Jared Goff is expected to get the day off but is active as the backup to Sean Mannion, who will make his first career start.

Carolina running back Jonathan Stewart is inactive for the first time this season against Atlanta. Stewart had seen a diminished role the past two weeks. He had only seven carries for 19 yards in last week’s win over Tampa Bay, but was still listed as the Panthers’ starter. Stewart’s exit leaves Christian McCaffrey as the probable starter.

Jacksonville is locked in as the third seed in the AFC, but is sitting only two starters against Tennessee: left tackle Cam Robinson, who left last week’s game with an abdominal strain, and receiver Marqise Lee (ankle).

Derrick Henry is getting the first start of his two-year NFL career with DeMarco Murray scratched for the first time since joining the Titans. Murray is out with an injured right knee.

Denver running back Jamaal Charles will sit out against Kansas City, his former team. Charles was a four-time Pro Bowler with the Chiefs, but never found a groove with the Broncos this season. His past month reads like this: No carries in two games, inactive for two games.

Rookie quarterback Patrick Mahomes will start for Kansas City in place of Alex Smith. Inactives for Sunday’s late games:
