    How is Vollmer doing? Will he make the team?

    So the Patriots are only carrying one backup...who is an undrafted rookie? Bit of a risk to say the least...

    I'm sure someone else will be in the mix. There's a rumor out there that Al Davis may cut Jeff Garcia, that would be ideal, but one way or another I'm sure there will be another QB. Technically there is a 3rd QB on the roster, but it's a rookie drafted in the 7th round who will be returning punts and playing some WR in Julian Edelman. Someone will be added though

    Yea, cutting Walter and O'Connell doesnt seem like great decisions

    BB typically doesn't make bad decisions typically when it comes to the roster. I'm sure he knows what he's doing
