Cut Down Day part dieux


In compliance with the league's mandatory roster rules, the patriots cut 7 more players today to trim to 65 plus 6 european league excemptions. No real big surprises today, mostly no name guy and others you'd expect to see anyway. The list from the Patriots website is as follows:

Anderson, Jason WR
Gould, Robbie K
Krug, Ryan G
Morton, Chad RB
Pili, Ifo DL
Poteat, Hank CB
Thomas, Santonio DL

Anderson played well in the preseason and may very well end up elsewhere this season. Morton never got on the field and Poteat was just behind too many talented CB's. If they clear waivers they can be added to the 8 man practice squad.

As you heard here last week, most sources are saying the toughest competition will be for the final WR spot. The consensus NOW is Branch, Givens, Brown and Dwight are safe. Bethel Johnson is on the PUP and doesn't take up a roster spot. That leaves Andre Davis, PK Sam and David Terrell all vying for possibly ONE spot. Maybe they'll keep six, so only one of them would be cut. I THINK that Davis is a lock because Belichick wouldn't have thrown away a fifth round pick just to cut the guy. Not only will it be interesting to see who they cut, but also where they end up.

Tell your cousin PhiL you heard it here!
