DoleINGout Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 Robert Foster, DAndre Walker, Hakeem Butler, Shareef Miller, and Chase McLoughlin are the players I like that were waived elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter2_1 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 - One actual LB. ONE. What if Bentley gets injured? We'll literally have a 5-0-6 formation. - Rivers has looked as healthy as he ever has, if he can play and play up to his expected standard, this is a huge win. It's like another draft pick - WTF are we doing with kickers? Seriously? - JJ Taylor didn't make it. Expected, but he had something... - Izzo....hmmm. A terrible TE. Maybe he wanted one that knew the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam connected with him and Izzo, on top of knowing the team, is an above average blocker, has size, and isn't terrible as receiver aside from his poor separation skills.

PatriotsWin! Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 https://www.patriots.com/news/analysis-breaking-down-patriots-initial-2020-practice-squad Quote Here's a rundown of the initial 16: Offense Jake Burt, TE, 2020 UDFA With two rookies already on the 53-man roster, Burt provides another layer of depth on the practice squad. The local product continues to live his Patriots dream. J.J. Taylor, RB, 2020 UDFA Taylor gets some more time to shine after an active preseason that had his position coach Ivan Fears lamenting having to make a decision without seeing Taylor against live contact. The diminutive back will have to learn to play bigger as he navigates the practice squad but has some electricity to his game. Isaiah Zuber, WR, 2020 UDFA Zuber was the most consistent rookie receiver this summer and his contributions as a returner could give him an opportunity at some point to crack the team on special teams. Devin Ross, WR, 2019 UDFA One of the standouts from the early days of camp, Ross faded a bit down the stretch but made remarkable strides in his first season behind the scenes. If the Patriots aren't getting enough from their young playmakers, Ross could be the first one to get a chance. Paul Quessenberry, FB, 2015 UDFA Quessenberry joined the Patriots mid-camp, after finishing up five years in the Marines. The Naval Academy grad is a feel-good story and will continue to get a chance to pick his football career back up. Defense Nick Thurman, DL, 2018 UDFA/HOU Thurman is back for his second season on the Patriots practice squad as he continues to develop along the defensive line. He has some versatility that brings good value. Bill Murray, DT, 2020 UDFA Murray had a knack for blocking kicks in college and will be an important practice squad addition with limited depth at defensive tackle. The Patriots could use a developmental young defensive lineman, hopefully Murray blossoms. Xavier Williams, DT, five-year NFL veteran Williams takes up a veteran spot and provides some experienced depth along the defensive line. Williams could find himself back up on the main roster as soon as this week. He didn't jump out in camp, but could be valuable insurance. Tashaun Bower, DL, 2017 UDFA/MIN Bower is back after joining the team in November of 2019. A defensive lineman, he'll provide more practice squad experience in the front. Rashod Berry, Edge, 2020 UDFA Berry was a versatile player on both sides of the ball at Ohio State but appears to be settling in along the edge. He showed good athleticism and improvement in training camp and might still be able to play a little tight end. Terez Hall, LB, 2019 UDFA Hall made strides in his second training camp and will again start the year on the practice squad. He made some plays in training camp as an inside linebacker. Caash Maluia, LB, 2020 6th-round pick Maluia had a strong start to camp but was hampered by an injury later. With two rookie linebackers ahead of him on the depth chart, Maluia will have a chance to get healthy and continue to develop. He is still a promising young player. Myles Bryant, CB, 2020 UDFA Bryant had arguably the best training camp of any undrafted rookie, earning praise from the McCourty brothers who gave him an "IT" nickname after former Celtic Isaiah Thomas. Bryant is a feisty competitor and made some good plays on the ball throughout camp. He's a good developmental piece in a loaded secondary. D'Angelo Ross, CB, 2019 UDFA After spending 2019 on the Patriots practice squad, Ross is back to further his development. Like Bryant, he's a tough inside cornerback and will help provide valuable depth. Special Teams Justin Rohrwasser, K, 2020 5th-round pick Rohrwasser is back after never finding any consistency in training camp, possibly due to an injury. He started to kick the ball better toward the end, but still seems well behind Nick Folk. The Patriots will hope to develop Rohrwasser behind the scenes, but he could be called upon sooner than later if the season gets complicated. Nick Folk, K, 12-year veteran Most years Folk would never be eligible for the practice squad but this year the Patriots are able to use the rules to their advantage as the kicker competition continues into the regular season.

Unless I'm thinking of LaCosse, Izzo was terrible blocking last season and torpedoed his side of the line often. Unless it was Matt, of course.

You'd think good hands and a huge frame would be useful at points. IMO a WR that can't separate is useless in today's game. The CBs are just to good. It's like the big kids in the playing /toying with the younger ones in the neighborhood. Wait do they still play in neighborhoods! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
