Patriots assume their usual role of Super Bowl contenders

Excerpt:

Quote:

"We're a work in progress," tight end Ben Watson said. "We're always striving to get better. Our goal is to build from week to week. Our standard is very high, and we just keep trying to attain it. (What's been impressive is) just the resilience of the team, just fighting against odds, against maybe some 'bad performances' in the beginning, and just coming to practice and working."

Getting their money possession receiver, Wes Welker, back from a knee injury that kept him out of the last two games made a huge difference. Against the Ravens, Welker led the Patriots with six receptions for 48 yards. But the largest part of New England's offensive success came from a balanced passing attack in which Brady connected with nine different receivers. As Watson pointed out, the Patriots are at their best "when there's a lot of people involved in the game plan."

Watson is really working hard this year. I noted the improvement last year, but I think we were all so focused on other issues it went unnoticed. He's been trending better the last 2+ years, imo.

He's a TE, but he's the closest thing to a Dual Threat we have (Blocking) and he's retarded-fast.
