Default Dave Thomas and I aint talkin Wendys..

wow..

Guys i am troubled now after his performance today...say a Ben Watson is healthy 1st week playoffs...what do we do?

and after this season.. do we resign Grahambo and pair him up with Thomas as our 2 starting TE's.. or let him go and work on a Watston/Thomas duo?

one thing is certain..Thomas is quality receiving tightend..blocking is on the uprise too...hes made a few MONSTER blocks today and got alot of praise ont he sidelines from dillion (dillions TD RUN..after the run he didnt even celebrate much and ran over to Thomas after getting up and giving him some mean dap..while he just nodded to other players)

I love our TE's!!!!!!!!!

even if we resign graham, which has a slim chance, then it'd still be a watson graham tandem....thomas will probably just be a situational guy for the rest of this and next year....pending the signing of graham

If they don't sign Graham then my fear is the drafting of another TE in round 1.

Isn't this the New England way, players come here and become part of a rotation.. de emphasize the individual role for a team role.. de emphasize individual stats, for W's.. if they resign Graham, then all three can play complimentary roles... may not need to use Vrabel at TE any more... but he is a great decoy, and may be a reason why Maroney was sprung so easily.

What is it with you? Why is it always extreme? Teddy misses a tackle and you want a new LB core. A rookie has a big day and you are "troubled"??? Maybe the guy does have serious talent, but just because he puts up good numbers in one game doesn't mean a thing. Maybe we should stick Thomas in at LB so you will quit whining.

I would prefer to franchise Graham for a year and let him prove to the team that he could stay healthy for a year. I would consider doing the same with Watson. We seem to draft these incredibly talented individuals but far too many of them end up being fragile. Maybe it is the Pats' strength training, maybe it is the nature of players with that degree of talent. I don't have the answers, just these concerns.

I'm not sure what the team plans on doing with Graham. He's one of the finest blocking TE's around, and good for 5 or so big plays a year, but after watching both Graham and Thomas play yesterday, they both might be expendable.

Remember how Graham got tooled by Paul Spicer en route to a Dillon 3 yard loss yesterday?

what is it with you? why are you always so negative? Do you just skim through my posts and pick out some of the things I say? Because your def putting words in my mouth..re read my lb post a million times over...print it out infact...go over it with your friends and family..they will help you understand everything..i promise. I must have said a billion times...THIS IS NO KNOCK TO BRUSCHI OR THE PATRIOTS OR LINEBACKER BECAUSE THEY ARE AWESOME, TOP NOTCH. Your a pretty big dofus my man. Why dont you shut up and post something about the pats..and not worry about what i am saying? Dont like my attitude or my posts..thats FINE dont read them dont reply to them. THE FACT IS..the PATS have 3 GOOD TE'S and SO FAR THOMAS LOOKS LIKE HE COULD BE MORE OF A RECEIVING THREAT THAN BOTH GRAHAM AND WATSON AND THAT HAS TO BE RESPECTED...I like the reply about sacraficing individual stats for TEAM W's..makes the most sense.

I am sorry for making this post about you digger...I promise your stupidity and your anti attidude of looking on to the future of the pats..will now just roll off my back...Be easy dude!

merry x-mas guys.

We want to run 2 and 3 TE offenses and we've certainly gone through a lot of them and paid with high picks.

This guy looks like a bargain in round three.

Take it easy on Digger. Despite all his hinting he failed to get a "Tickle me Elmo" doll again this year.
