I'm fine with the offense once Brady comes back. We may not looke great early if a couple of new OL's are in the lineup because Neal and perhaps Hochstein are not there; but they will be fine in a few weeks. Keeping Morris will allow us to have him and Faulk be available as returners.
SOME COMMENTS
1. Gutz could be replaced by a veteran.
2. Hochstein could be replaced by Flynn.
3. O'Callahan could go to IR, with or without a replacement.
4. We could keep only 2 TE's with two on the Practice Squad.

Sounds about right to me. I am so looking forward to the real season. I have already set up my Patriots Shrine and have the wide-screen and sound system tweaked. New couch and coffee table. Getting a few more wall decorations this next weekend. All I have left is to develop the sandwich and snack menu and restock the bar for opening night.
Oh, and find a way to get rid of She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed for several hours so's I can enjoy the game in peace.
I can certainly understand wanting Slater instead of a mediocre blocking TE. However, I think Belichick greatly values TE's and strongly prefers having three on the 53.
I might have put Slater on the squad if he were even our 7th best WR. Ventrone and Jones are much better.

I think Slater brings more value to the team (3 positions) and I would expect to see him listed at WR.

True, Ventrone looks good. Man, I'm SO glad this is up to Bill and co. hehe
