I'm looking for Watson to be the centerpiece of a flea flicker/ staue of liberty play where the ball gets snapped to the fullback who pitches it out to the WR and he runs back behind the center and hands off to the QB who underhands to Watson as he stands there with his arm in the air and then Watson runs at the LB and as the linebacker gets close Watson tosses the ball over the LB's head as the confused LB looks around for it and now Watson gets hsi own self pass and runs down the sideline....I think that would be a great play and I hope the Patriots try it because, well gosh, we just have to do something else because we don't have any of the old players and there's no new guys and I'm scared and I want to see some changes....what do you guys think?
Any way we can work Ken Walter in there some place?

Of course....use Walter as the QB....Brady is fading fast, if last season was any indication...plus we always have the pitch back to Flutie, drop kick for a FG if the LB stuffs Watson
looking to statue of liberty plays, flea flickers and TE's at WR. Wow! This is not a sandlot team. It is a playoff team with an excellent set of offense schemes.
And BTW, Faulk would be a much better WR than Watson.
I do agree that Watson on a TE screen is a play that will be used a few times this year.
Ben Coates had a few years with 80+ catches - but that didn't make him a WR nor did it mean we didn't have a #2 WR
We need more than 1 WR, and we will have more than 1 WR
I agree with this. I've said this before. I'm not really looking at Watson being a #2 WR but a #2 Option. With the years Ben Coates had here, he may not even be a #2 Option IF Watson can get open consistently.

Part of the reason your TEs get open is because defenders have to worry about up to 3+ other legitimate WR threats on the field. Ben Coates did it (I think) with defenders also keying on Terry Glenn, Shawn Jefferson and Troy Brown in his prime, not to mention Curtis Martin as a RB option.
As good as Branch is, he's not going to demand the equivilent coverage of all of the above

What's wrong with having Ben Watson replace Givens as the #2 receiver? With Givens having left for the Titans I kinda like this idea. Could you imagine this guy on a crackback situation?......He's bigger and faster then Givens was and he knows the system by now. Just thought of this and curious as to what you guys think.
What Watson can do is confuse the defense by making a 2 TE set into a 3 WR set by using some motion. He could also turn a 2 TE set or a 3 WR set into a 2 RB set by using motion. In a perfect (injury free) world I think this is what the Pats offense would like to do. Which would explain why they don't seem terribly concerned about WR's.
I've said this for years now
