NE's two Rookie tight ends

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Tight Ends:

* Aaron Hernandez -- 15 targets/13 catches (86.6 percent) - 221 yards

* Rob Gronkowski -- 6 targets/5 catches (83.3 percent) - 58 yards

When Brady throws to them: 18-for-21 - 279 yards - 2TD's 0 INT's


The Underneath Recievers:

* Julian Edelman -- 5 targets/4 catches (80.0 percent) - 14 yards

* Brandon Tate -- 9 targets/7 catches (77.7 percent) - 96 yards

* Wes Welker -- 24 targets/18 catches (75.0 percent) - 147 yards

When Brady throws to them: 29-for-38 - 257 yards - 3 TD's 0 INT's


Combining the rookie tight ends with the underneath guys who work the middle:

47-for-59 - 536 yards - 5 TD's 0 INT's ..


It's insane how there's always at least one of these guys wide ass open whenever you pause the film.

Brady's only been sacked 2 times the entire year - the one time the Jets got him was costly because he turned it over.

And about that one sack ....

Watching the “all 22” coaches’ film, Dilfer was also able to see that Hernandez was wide open right before Jason Taylor’s late strip-sack of Brady, which sealed the win. “If he looked to Hernandez, the sack never would have happened,” Dilfer said. “He looks at Welker first. When they bracket Welker, his eyes should go right over the safety to Hernandez as second read. For some reason, Tom goes Welker-Moss, and gets hit backside. If he goes Welker-Hernandez, he throws it, it’s a touchdown. I watched it 10 times. Hernandez just smokes his guy off the line of scrimmage. Moss was blanketed.”

It's really simple ... just play small ball and keep carving defenses up and using the wide open middle of the field to make those easy as pie throws.

In order to actually cover these guys - they'll have to leave Moss one on one with no deep safety help .. at that point - force it up all you want.

This passing game is a well oiled machine when Brady is off his fix and is just worried about hitting the wide open man.

And now we have little Danny Woodhead to run the ball in the spread!! Danny!! This is an offense right here.

Seriously Doug, in more important and relevant news, I see Goncalves is dominating the Hoosier meet (I realize that is the equivalent of me being the tallest kid on the basketball court in the 8' goal league), but what is his ROI there?

His ROI numbers are always better in route races than in sprints.

His ROI for this meet at Hooiser:

Overall: $1.75
Sprints: $1.56
Routes: $2.12


For his entire riding career: (4,170 mounts)

Overall: $1.97
Sprints: $1.74
Routes: $2.39

You're either with the Pats ... or you should be fed to a woodchipper. Simple as that.

Keep thinking Woodheadcock is the next Welker. Nothing but disappointment in your future.

He's the better elements of Faulk and Welker all rolled into one 5'6" white guy frame... and the Jets just gave him to the machine for nothing.

Unlike those two - he can actually run. That little sum bitch is 4.33 speed. He'd absolutely toast Faulk or Welker in a foot race.

Didn't John Jett prove that speed wasn't everything?

The guy ran for 9 million yards at Chedron State.

I would agree that he's pretty useless in the Jets offense ... but he fits like a dream in the New England spread.

[randallscott35]

He's simply not what you think he is.

He's the white Barry Sanders.

I hope to God he runs good routes and catches the ball well - because this is going to be a lot of fun.

Can someone please refresh my memory,

Were there this many Patriots threads in 2007, when they started off 18-0?

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Everyone kind of realized that the Pats offense was beast in '07.

Who wants to read about how grass is green?

Personally I would rather read about the grass being green, then the constant discussion about a team thats no better than at least 6 or 7 other teams in the conference.

But that's just me.

They are road favorites over the Dolphins on a Monday Night game this week. Go make yourself a fortune with the fish if you really believe Miami's a better team ... because if they can't beat New England, on the road, at night, in humid weather .. they'll get smoked at Foxboro in the winter later in the year.

The Texans are 3 point road favorites against the friggen Raiders. There cheating asses are always 8-8.

[slotdirt]

2007 Patriots cheated. This version seems slightly less offensive. I get the appeal.

[randallscott35]

Wait to hear from the moron before you bet the Fish....Just go the other way, you will be fine.
