Tank Williams

And the Patriots got an early start on trimming the roster when they released S Tank Williams. 

I can understand Wilfork’s frustrations as he sees teammates getting richer while his situation remains in limbo, but I remain optimistic that a deal will get done. It’s possible the other moves will clear the path for Wilfork’s negotiations to get moving again.

Gary Guyton, Shawn Crable, Pierre Woods, Erick Alexander, Vinny Ciurciu, Paris Lenon, and sometimes Tank Williams. 

Most likely Belichick would use a heavy line (Seymour, Brace, Wilfork, and Pryor like last week) for run and switching out ends for pass rushers.

Safetys Tank Williams and Brandon Merriweather blitzed well. 

Pass Rush – Rob Ninkovich got good pressure against second and third units. What will he do against better competition? Tully Banta-Cain and Myron Pryor got a sack each.

he field, I’ll hold my judgment. 

What I’m hoping for is that safety/linebacker Tank Williams stays healthy and contributes for the Patriots. He lived up to his name in his years with Tennessee and hopefully Tank, now fully recovered from a season-ending preseason injury last year, makes an impact, literally and figuratively.

oing through Merriweather's zone.

The competition at safety could become even more interesting if Tank Williams makes a full recovery and retuns to action. During the preseason the 6-2 220-pounder played close to the line a lot in a S/LB hybrid role. If he's back, the safety position becomes a huge strength for the Patriots.

 that the Patriots should look into signing the recently released safety John Lynch now that S Tank Williams is done for the year. Well the Patriots are doing their homework on Lynch and brought him in to Foxborough for a closer look. Good call, Ed.

But the biggest disappointment is safety Tank Williams being placed on injured reserve for the year. I was expecting big things from him this year and beyond. I'm sure the Patriots were thinking the same way. This injury would benefit a player on the bubble. It gives someone like Lewis Sanders (two passes defensed) a better chance of making the team.

n of Victor Hobson helps since he's seven years younger than Bruschi.

The same can be said for SS Tank Williams as he plays behind 35-year old Rodney Harrison, but I won't go into detail of why I love the Patriots signing Tank and Hobson. I'll save that for another day.

There are also the three free agent corners signed and safety Tank Williams added to the roster. New England will be fine without Andrews.

As for Andrews, we can only hope that he grows up an

On top of that, New England played free agent signee strong safety Tank Williams at linebacker sometimes during the recent passing camp.

So where does this leave Seau? He hasn't made a decision, but head coach Bill Belichick said Junior's decision won't come until just before training camp. Thus far, Seau's number 55 isn't being worn by anybody and it will be reserved until either Seau comes back or never worn again as it should be retired for former Pat Willie McGinest after he hangs it up after this season.
