It’s a sad and disappointing morning here at the Propaganda HQ and it has nothing to do with Wes Welker starting off on the PUP list. Welker can still return at any time during camp, and honestly I expected them to bring him along slowly. We all know what Welker can do, and the Patriots need him at the end of the season not at the start. This will give the young WRs to get a lot of quality reps and should help boost their development. Because as much as we need a healthy Wes Welker, we need some complimentary receivers almost as much.

No, my disappointment all revolves around Crazy Legs Crable, the player I picked as my most intriguing Patriot just last night. This morning I awake to find that Crable has injured himself for the third straight year. I’ve been pimping Crable all offseason. He was drafted two years ago to fill what is one of the biggest voids on the Pats and he’s shown flashes in limited preseason time. He’s a likeable guy, who seemed like he just got unlucky with injuries two years in a row.

Well this makes three years and I’m sure that Crable shares my disappointment and embarrassment. He can still be activated at any time, but every day that goes by where he’s not on the field is a day closer to being out of football. Would the Patriots put him on IR for a third straight year? That’d have to be some kind of record.

Oh and rookie Kade Weston was PUP’d too, that one ain’t really a big deal. Let’s be happy these were the only 3 guys on the PUP list though. The Patriots start camp as healthy as they’ve been in a long time.
