Apparently FB Spencer Larsen was cut from the Pats roster.
So much for the FB experiment...

The Patriots made a series of moves on Monday to reach the NFL roster limit of 75 players.

The team announced they have released defensive lineman Tim Bulman, wide receiver Jabar Gaffney, wide receiver Donte' Stallworth, defensive back Ross Ventrone and defensive lineman Gerard Warren. In addition, they have placed defensive back Will Allen, safety Josh Barrett and fullback Spencer Larsen on injured reserve.

They also put tight end Jake Ballrd and defensive lineman Myron Pryor on the reserve/physically unable to perform list. And rookie free agent offensive lineman Markus Zusevics was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list. And they also claimed first-year wide receiver Kerry Taylor.

New England will travel to Baltimore in week three.

It's always a relief when there's one less star defensive player you'll have to contend with.  However, you know if New England should find a way to win, Suggs will have something to say to the media.

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs has been placed on the physically unable to perform list.

That means Suggs will have to miss at least the first six weeks of the season. The move, announced Monday, comes as no surprise because Suggs is recovering from a torn right Achilles, an injury that should keep him sidelined at least into November.

Suggs, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, had 14 sacks last season.

Has anyone else been shocked by Cunningham's transformation into Willie McGinest?  He was a stringbean a couple years ago, who couldn't get on the field, because he couldn't cover as a linebacker, and was too weak to battle on the line...now he is bullrushing from a 3 technique and getting sacks?

I guess its a pretty even playing field with PEDs in the NFL (I really think a LOT of guys use them)...so hopefully this guy can revive his career a bit.

I love it. I thought this guy was a lock to be cut, and now he is a roster lock, IMHO.

What about Brace, too?  He's looking like he can be a stout anchor for the defensive line.  Another guy that seemed to be on the outide looking in when camp started.  BB's recent drafts are starting to look better and better.

Yes, I forgot about Brace, thanks for reminding me.
My concerns at this point: (1) O-Line, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Waters comes back and (2) Running Backs -- they just can't seem to stay healthy.

Yup, im still hoping waters comes back and Vollmer will stay healthy.  I think those are the two keys for the O-line this season.

With the RB's I think we should be OK.  Though Vereen is starting to look like another Belichick second round busst

Vereen got hurt (again) against the Bucs.  Ridley, not sure if his not playing was because he was dinged during practice or because they knew he was the starter and wanted to make sure he didn't GET hurt last night.  Demps seemed to have some kind of injury late last night, although word today was that it's nothing too serious (not an ACL).

With the (re-)emergence of Cunningham and Brace, though, you may not be able to say "another BB 2nd-round bust!" too much longer.
