Some surprises from yesterday's pecifcally Derek Burgess who has been a bust since acquired from Oakland. Also gone are Pierre Woods and Eric Alexander, two outside LBs who have contributed mainly on special teams. Sam Aikens, last year's special team captain, was cut, too.
The Globe reported that the Broncos releasesd DE Jarvis Green. With the loss of Ty Warren, Patriots may consider bringing Green back.
These moves yesterday really cut into the team's outside linebacker corps. Plus, this fuels continuing concern over the Patriots' anemic pass rush. Sure hope that BB has some good defensive schemes up his sleep to relieve pressure on his young defensive secondary.
One player I liked from last year is OLB Rob Ninkovich. He is a good pass rusher. He may get more playing time this year.
Patriots traded for a safety to replace Brandon McGowan. With all the players cut from other teams, perhaps BB will take a look to see if any can help his team, primarily at OLB and in the defensive secondary.
