Yes, the offense is in transition. I also expect us to use Gronk more as an intermediate and deep pass threat.

I think that Brady will find it increasingly difficult if there is no credible deep threat. Yes, it made a big difference when Moss took one or two defenders deep with him. Stretching the filed is important even in a dink and dunk offense.

It's a wonder Tom won 3 Lombardis and made it to 4 out of 6 conference championships before Moss ever set foot here...

I think what we have to see is Brady using Tate and take a couple of shots downfield. He has the speed. We just have to make a commitment to do it. Thus far we haven't. Until we do, teams are going to squeeze the offense week by week. Mgtech isn't wrong, but neither is Mo
