While there's no guarantee that Blanton will make the 45 to play on Sunday vs. the Pats, what's the consensus on this board about the roster move: 1) he was activated in recognition of his hard work on the practice squad 2) one of our starters/immediate reserve O-lineman just got hurt and may not play now 3) the gameplan necessitates some heavy formations, so replacing a DB (Thompson) with an O-lineman follows suit 4) Dave Ball wanted more UCLA representation on the 53-man roster
My guess is that reasons 1-3 are all good possibilities. Although one of our o-lineman isn't hurt they might just be hurting.
