New England Patriots - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/2897131/patriots-roster-moves-filling-out-practice-squad-crable-back.html More photos » Charles Krupa - AP Linebacker Shawn Crable is back with the Patriots, landing on the team's practice squad this afternoon. Browse more photos » With the deadline 12:00 PM ET for teams to claim players off of waivers, many teams, including the Patriots have been frantically moving to fill out their practice squad. First, the Patriots have claimed one player off waivers; offensive tackle Steve Maneri from the Houston Texans.  Maneri was an undrafted free agent who played tight end during his college days at Temple.  At 6'7", he signed with the Texans following the draft hoping to play tackle.  There's no word yet whether the Patriots plan to use him at tackle or guard.  However, my guess is that he can be used in goal line packages as an extra lineman/tight end.  The Patriots often use loaded lines with an offensive lineman reporting eligible as a tight end, Maneri could presumably fit this role. The Patriots lost rookie center/guard Ted Larsen via waivers to the Buccaneers.  While we don't know for sure that the team planned on bringing Larsen back to the practice squad, I do think that Larsen was part of the team's future plans at center, so losing him could hurt down the line.  The team also may have lost quarterback Zac Robinson to the Seahawks. According to Mike Reiss of ESPNBoston.com, Robinson is set to sign to the Seahawks' practice squad.  If this is true, the team will likely have to search the waiver wire to find a quarterback to sign to the practice squad who can take snaps with the practice squad. As for the players whom the Patriots have signed to their practice squad, here are the ones that have been confirmed thus far: Sergio Brown, Safety Rich Ohrnberger, Guard Darnell Jenkins, Wide Receiver Shawn Crable, Outside Linebacker Empty Empty Empty Empty The biggest name from that list is probably Shawn Crable.  Crable, a third round pick in the 2008 draft, was released in early August after failing his physical and beginning training camp on PUP.  As you probably know, he spent his first two seasons on injured reserve.  While Crable has the typical speed and length that Bill Belichick looks for in his outside linebackers, he just hadn't been able to stay healthy.  When the Patriots released Crable last month, Bill Belichick left open the possibility that he could return.  So there you have it, we can now all jump back on the Crable bandwagon. I'm also glad to see Sergio Brown and Darnell Jenkins back, as they had great preseasons.  The Patriots are lucky to get Rich Ohrnberger through waivers, and maybe there's a chance he could still make an impact some time down the line. New England Patriots - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/2897130/patriots-release-tyrone-mckenzie.html More photos » Jim Rogash - Getty Images The Patriots have released Tyrone McKenzie to make room for Steve Maneri. Browse more photos » To make room for newly acquired offensive lineman/tight end Steve Maneri, the team released second year inside linebacker Tyrone McKenzie. This move is a bit surprising, but is certainly is a display of confidence in rookie free agent Dane Fletcher.  Fletcher is now presumably the fourth inside linebacker and fifth outside linebacker on the Patriots' active roster. While McKenzie wasn't exactly the player Patriots fans hoped he would be, you can't help but wonder if Maneri and Tracy White will provide more value to the team.  McKenzie played really well in the preseason finale, and played well in goal line situations throughout camp.  He was also the team's second string strong-side inside linebacker. With the work ethic and great attitude that McKenzie has, I believe that he will quickly find another NFL team, and still has the potential to be a good linebacker in this league.  In New England, McKenzie was hurt by a numbers game.  Rookie 2nd round pick Brandon Spikes is the starter, while 3rd year man Gary Guyton will be getting most of the snaps in sub-packages for the team. Poll Was releasing Tyrone McKenzie in favor of Steve Maneri/Tracy White the right move? Yes, McKenzie was clearly a bust and the team needed to move on Yes, White and/or Maneri provide special teams value, which McKenzie didn't No, the Patriots should have given McKenzie more time   26 votes | Results New England Patriots - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/2897129/patriots-waive-ilb-tyrone-mckenzie.html The New England Patriots announced today that they have waived inside linebacker Tyrone McKenzie.

New England Patriots - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/2890606/projecting-patriots-53-man-roster-deadline-day.html This afternoon, the Patriots will be trimming their roster down to 53 players.  That being said, here is my final attempt at predicting what the team's final roster will look like. Quarterback (2): Tom Brady, #12; Brian Hoyer, #8 Nothing changes here.  This position has remained constant throughout the offseason in my predictions. Running Back (4): Laurence Maroney, #39; Fred Taylor, #21; Kevin Faulk, #33; Sammy Morris, #34 No changes here either.  I think that despite his lack of playing time, that Laurence Maroney is safe, as there's no doubt in my mind that he's still the best every down back on the Patriots' roster (with Faulk being the best overall).  The last spot comes down to Morris and BenJarvus Green-Ellis.  With Green-Ellis not being a major factor in the team's overall plans, I went with the more versatile and more productive overall player in Morris. Wide Receiver (6): Randy Moss, #81; Wes Welker, #83; Brandon Tate, #19; Julian Edelman, #11; Sam Aiken, #88 The wide receiver position remains the same as well, as it seems that this position is pretty much solidified. Tight End (3): Rob Gronkowski, #87; Aaron Hernandez, #85; Alge Crumpler, #82 No changes, but boy does Rob Gronkowski look good.  The Patriots also have to hope that Hernandez' injury isn't too serious. Offensive Tackle (4): Matt Light, #72; Sebastian Vollmer, #76; George Bussey, #66; Mark LeVoir, #64; Quinn Ojinaka, #68 Ojinaka doesn't count against the 53 as he is suspended the first week, so he should have a spot until then.  LeVoir hasn't looked good this preseason, and Bussey hasn't been overly impressive, but both should have spots. Interior Offensive Line (4): Dan Koppen, #67; Dan Connolly, #63; Stephen Neal, #61; Ryan Wendell, #69 The Patriots could keep Ohrnberger who started and played well last night.  However, last night was his only bright spot in the preseason, so I think the Patriots move on with the more unheralded Ryan Wendell.  Nick Kaczur could stick here, although he will probably land on IR.  George Bussey and Quinn Ojinaka can slide into guard, so the team only keeps four on the interior line.  Also in consideration is rookie Ted Larsen, although he didn't have a great preseason. Defense after the jump! Defensive Line (7): Vince Wilfork, #75; Gerard Warren, #68; Mike Wright, #99; Myron Pryor, #91; Ron Brace, #97; Brandon Deaderick, #71, Kyle Love, #74 No changes here, although the team officially cut Damione Lewis last night.  I think Kyle Love has made a strong push for a roster spot, and I wouldn't be surprise to see him stick. Final Addition: After my final count, my roster was at 52, so I'm giving the final spot to rookie nose tackle Kyle Love.) Outside Linebacker (6): Tully Banta-Cain, #95; Derrick Burgess, #53; Jermaine Cunningham, #96; Rob Ninkovich, #50; Marques Murrell, #93; Pierre Woods, #58 The Patriots experimented with Pierre Woods at 3-4 end against the Giants, and he surprisingly played alright.  I thought Ninkovich sealed his spot with his performance Thursday.  Marques Murrell could be cut, but I like what I've seen from him overall in the preseason.  I have Pierre Woods and Eric Alexander battling it out for my final spot, and I went with Woods because he is a nice safety valve at outside linebacker. Inside Linebacker (4): Jerod Mayo, #51; Brandon Spikes, #55; Gary Guyton, #59; Tyrone McKenzie, #44 I had five players at inside linebacker for the last few weeks, but I realized that 11 linebackers is probably one or two too many.  Dane Fletcher will likely land on the practice squad.  Eric Alexander is cut in a numbers crunch, as I keep Pierre Woods on my team. Cornerback (5): Darius Butler, #28; Devin McCourty, #32; Jonathan Wilhite, #24; Terrence Wheatley, #22; Kyle Arrington, #27 The big change here is the loss of Leigh Bodden to injured reserve.  With Bodden gone, the Patriots are young at the position, but it essentially guarantees Wheatley a roster spot.  I wouldn't be surprised to see the Patriots go after a veteran cornerback. Safety (5): Brandon Meriweather, #31; Patrick Chung, #25; Brandon McGowan, #30; James Sanders, #36; Sergio Brown, #38 I finally gave Sergio Brown a spot on my roster.  I think he could be a core special teams player for the Patriots, and he's always flying around the ball on defense.  James Sanders could be traded, but for now, I think he sticks. Specialists (3): Stephen Gostkowski, #3; Zoltan Mesko, #14; Jake Ingram, #46 No changes from last week. Practice Squad (8): 1. Ted Larsen, C 2. Zac Robinson, QB 3. Darnell Jenkins, WR 4. Dane Fletcher, LB 5. Thomas Williams, LB 6. Thomas Clayton, RB 7. Rich Ohrnberger, G/C 8. Thomas Welch, OT New England Patriots - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/2890605/broncos-release-jarvis-green.html More photos » Steven Senne - AP Should the Patriots consider bringing back defensive end Jarvis Green, who won two Super Bowls during his tenure with the team (2002-2009)? Browse more photos » In a move that has come as a surprise to many, the Denver Broncos have released former Patriot defensive end Jarvis Green.  Green left for Denver after signing a big free agent contract this offseason. In his lone season as the full-time starter, Jarvis Green didn't perform as many expected in 2009.  Since Green's departure, the Patriots have inserted Mike Wright as the starting right defensive end.Still, with Ty Warren out for the year, it would make sense if the Patriots looked into bringing Green back.  The two sides kept an open dialogue throughout free agency, and it doesn't seem as if any bridges were burned. If the Patriots did bring back Green, I don't think it would be as a full-time starter.  I think he would play both end spots, as well as tackle in sub-packages.  If he could get back to his pass rushing ways of last decade, he could become a solid piece along the defensive line for the Patriots. Poll Should the Patriots bring back Jarvis Green? Yes No Maybe, they should wait and see how the line plays first.   145 votes | Results New England Patriots - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/2890604/whos-been-cut.html Here's the rundown of players who have been cut since Sept. 1: Offense: QB: Zac Robinson WR: Rod Owens, Darnell Jenkins RB: Thomas Clayton TE: Carson Butler, Rob Myers C/G: Rich Ohrnberger OL: Eric Ghiaciuc, Ted Larson, Thomas Welch Defense: S: Ross Ventrone DB: DeAngelo Willingham DL: Damione Lewis LB: Eric Alexander New England Patriots - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/2890601/lewis-among-early-cuts.html New England Patriots - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates
