However, only 53 of them will be able to survive the cutdowns on August 31 and ultimately make the team. Over the course of the summer, we will take a look at the players fighting for those spots to find out who has the best chances of helping the Patriots defend their Super Bowl title.Today, the series continues with one of New England’s depth defensive linemen.Name: David ParryPosition: Defensive tackleJersey number: 75Opening day age: 27Experience: 4Size: 6’2, 315 lbs.2018 review: After spending most of the 2017 season on the New Orleans Saints’ injured reserve list, David Parry signed an unrestricted free agency contract with the Minnesota Vikings the following offseason. Coming off a strong preseason outing — he appeared in all four of his new team’s contests and finished with three total quarterback disruptions (1.0 sack, 2 hits) — the former undrafted free agent made the Vikings’ roster.Parry appeared in the first two regular season games as a rotational defensive tackle, and played 26 of a possible 143 defensive snaps (18.2%). Primarily being used to rush the passer from the interior, he registered a sack during his limited time on the field — apparently too little for the Vikings, who released him in mid-September. After one month on the open market, however, the team brought him back.Five days later, he was in uniform for the game against the New York Jets and saw extensive action: not only did Parry play a third of the Vikings’ defensive snaps (24 of 71; 33.8%), he also was used on special teams as an interior protector on Minnesota’s field goal and extra point attempts. He played a combined eight snaps in that role, but again failed to convince the club to keep him around beyond that one contest.After his second release, Parry failed to find a new club for more than two months. In early January, however White Tom Brady Jerseys , he was signed to a reserve/futures contract by the Patriots — ensuring that he would at least have some certainty heading towards the 2019 season.2019 preview: The one-year, $743,750 contract Parry signed in New England does include roster and workout bonuses but no guarantees — the journeyman has to earn his money by making the 53-man roster. Given the talent ahead of him and his usage during training camp so far, however, it would take either an injury by one of the players higher up on the depth chart or an outstanding preseason performance to make the cut.As things stand right now, the first scenario appears to be more realistic than the second. If everything goes according to New England’s plan, therefore, it would not be at all surprising if Parry’s standing on the roster did not significantly change over the next few weeks — and if his tenure with the Patriots came to an end during August 31’s roster cutdowns as a result. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets have been looking up at the New England Patriots in the AFC East for nearly two decades.Since 2002, actually.That’s the previous time the Jets won the division that Tom Brady’s bunch has had a stranglehold on for what seems like forever. And, consider this: Current New York quarterback Sam Darnold was only 5 years old then.Yeah, it has been a while.“I think winning the AFC East comes along with beating the Patriots,” Darnold said. “But you’ve also got to beat other teams as well and have a good season. And to make that happen, you have to take it one week at a time.”The undefeated Patriots (6-0) head to MetLife Stadium on Monday night to face Darnold and the Jets (1-4), looking for their fourth straight season sweep of the AFC East rivals.Well, not so fast, says Le’Veon Bell.“It’s going to be a fun game,” the Jets running back said. “And I think we have a really great opportunity to shock the world in a sense.”That’s because few are giving New York much of a chance in this one Tom Brady Jerseys 2019 , with New England opening as a 12-point favorite on the road. There’s also the not-so-distant memory of the Patriots rolling over the Luke Falk-led Jets 30-14 four weeks ago.The difference this time, of course, is Darnold is back under center after missing that game while recovering from mononucleosis. After leading the Jets to a 24-22 victory over Dallas last week and being selected the AFC offensive player of the week for his performance, Darnold sees plenty of reasons to be optimistic.And, not only that. Confident, too.“Once all the guys are back together, I think we’re unstoppable as an offense, or we can be,” Darnold said. “It’s up to us how much we execute or how well we go out there and play. It’s really up to us how many points we score. I think we’re capable of scoring so many points and our offensive line too, the way they played last game.“With the way we’ve been running the ball and the way they’ve been protecting, I think the sky is the limit for us.”The Jets had been struggling mightily without Darnold at quarterback, particularly in the two games Falk started when New York had just 233 total yards against New England and Philadelphia.Darnold’s return allowed Adam Gase to open some things up against Dallas as the Jets put up 382 yards. Darnold was 23 of 32 for 338 yards and two touchdowns — a 92-yarder to Robby Anderson and a 5-yarder to Ryan Griffin — and an interception.“He looked great last week, just knowing what he wanted to do, getting the ball down the field,” Patriots defensive back Devin McCourty said of Darnold. “So, we’ve just got to be aware it’s going to be different from just that aspect of the first time we played them, we really had their third quarterback in there.”The Jets are still waiting to get second-year tight end Chris Herndon back. He was suspended the first four games by the NFL for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Then, on the verge of returning to the team two weeks ago Rob Gronkowski Jersey , he injured a hamstring while working out on his own. He’s expected to miss the game against the Patriots, but will eventually give Darnold another target he developed chemistry with last season.The offensive line is dealing with some injuries, too, with Gase having to shuffle things up front.New York could get linebacker C.J. Mosley back from a groin injury that has sidelined him since the season opener. Gase likened his impending return to getting a starting quarterback back.“We’re moving in the right direction,” Bell said. “I’ve been talking about getting the ship sailing in the right direction. We’re starting to slowly turn that ship. I remember three or four weeks ago, everybody was saying I was crazy.”It might already be too late this season for the Jets to dethrone the Patriots, who have won the AFC East for 10 straight years and 15 of the past 16.But the Jets know pulling off a victory Monday could provide a building block for their own future — which someday could include them sitting atop the division again.“When you get locked in on trying to break the dynasty or tear them down, that’s when you start losing control of yourself and losing control of your emotions during the game,” Darnold said. “For us, it’s continuing to take it one game at a time and just focus on this game plan, what we need to do, the certain looks that we get, how we’re going to adjust to those and go about the game that way.“Because if we get outside of ourselves, and try to take down Tom Brady, take down (Bill) Belichick, those are all legit things. But for us, it’s really just about focusing on what we need to do and how we need to execute.” |
