Hank Poteat?

The club also released veteran defensive back Hank Poteat (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5106), who has been on and off the roster several times the past three seasons, and was re-signed two weeks ago.

What does everyone think?

considering all the injuries that NE has had in their defensive backfield and he still wasn't able to stay on the roster, I'd say no.

The only exception is if Clements ends up missing a few games and we need an extra DB- even then I doubt this guy is the best we could do. We cut two DB's that are better than him in preseason.

leftover camp fodder???

Hank is a high character guy who works hard, is willing to do whatever the team asks and will play hard.

The only downside is he sucks in coverage. He does tackle well, however, which is why they bring him back in emergencies. His man may catch the ball, but he won't give up a lot of yards after catch and will support well against the run.

Umm, no thanks...we've got plenty of guys who suck in coverage!
