Deadpulse Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Thought it would be fun to fight for our end of the roster binkies and discuss why my guy should make it over your guy. Ive been riding the Jacob Hollister train since we signed him as a UDFA. Typically BB keeps one UDFA and he might be it! No, I have never heard of Zach Sudfeld before. He work at home depot or something? Anyways, who do you guys got?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LD696 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 For some reason I haven't followed the off-season all that much this year, so I hardly have any idea how these guys played in TC. But everyone needs a bubble player to root for, so I'm going with a LB by default (like last year with Roberts), Langi. The team could use a jack-of-all-trades player like him on the LB depth chart imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Hollister, for me. I think WR is full, so Carr has about a 1% chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atmer Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Right now I'd say that Langi is the leading UDFA as he seems to be getting lot of opportunities with the absences of Hightower and McClellin. He also has his flexibility going for him too. Jacob is a guy I'd like to see making the team, showed a lot of toughness on the first preseason game. I just don't know if he can block, and if not, that could be, ultimately, his downfall. The WRs I just can't see any of them making this team, barring some injuries. The WR corp just seems too deep. As for Adam Butler I haven't see much of him to be honest. I've heard that he was doing well on one on ones, and that is it. On the other hand, DT is a position where I think we can sneak a bubble player in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Patriots drafted two tackles in the draft in Garcia and McDermott. I like both of them. What if they keep both and Fleming and use them to block at TE, allowing them to keep Hollister around despite his deficiency? Then I remembered how 3rd string TE usually need to play ST and block on kicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iothar Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Went with Langi just for the pass rush aspect. We are going to need help with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he shown good pass rush in practice? He was used mostly as a MLB during the first pre-season game IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ForTheThumb Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Langi. This is such a tough roster to make, I'm not sure more than one of the above makes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's going to be the fun of it IMO, we are all going to be arguing for our guy and against everyone elses haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatriotsWin! Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Carr has a decent shot at taking Amendola's spot. Insanely good hands and body control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter2_1 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Hollister has a really good chance. Needing that third TE, are we not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of depth at the position and chance our starters get hurt at some point makes his play in pre season huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
