Default I like Dave Thomas

Sorry if this has already been posted, but I was just rewatching the Falcons game and noticed what a good run blocker Dave Thomas is. He made a large number of real good blocks - including probably THE main block on the Cobbs TD. He did have some problems with his pass blocking, but I have to believe that's something he never had to do in college, being a primary receiver. So he'll improve at that. His run blocking is already better than Faurier's and I believe he's got more speed. This team is just looking amazing at the TE position. And if the TEs, OL and RBs stay relatively healthy, the Pats could be one of the top 3-4 teams in rushing offense this year.

Yes, a 2-TE set with Graham and Thomas would be great for the running game. I suspect that pioli has drafted Graham's replacement.

Don't forget the chili, for a generic chain product it's pretty good.

That was the extra chewy variety, they've had to discontinue it due to law suits over denture damage.

NEM, your knowledge of fast food appears to be more impressive than your knowledge of football.
