One of the things Brady said earlier this season was that they had to do a better job working Edelman into the offense.

Part of the problem is that most of the time, they used either Welker or Edelman, but not both, and it's hard to get into a rhythm when you're only getting 5-10 scattered snaps, and maybe one throw, a game.

No, he's not going to be a replacement for Welker, nor will he be a true deep threat, but I don't see why they can't get him on the field more. He certainly has enough speed and more than enough agility to do a lot of damage. [Remember his first pre-season game? 6 of 6 catching, and 5 of those 6 passes went for first downs.]

Yeah, especially after Welker gets traded

I want to see Edelperson AND Welker on the field at the same time.

Is this dude ever going to throw the ball? Seriously? I was waiting for him to throw deep to Tate on that reverse on sunday .

perhaps if our earlier misdirection reverse-y plays had not resulted in any turnovers we would have.

But TFB has made fun of Edelman's arm before.

I remember the playoff loss to the Ravens, we where so many points down, Edelman caught pass about 6 yards short of the first down along the sideline, he juked somebody, pushed ray lewis back about 2 yards and the forced his way for the first down, thats enough for me, tough kid, deserves the time.

Stranger things have happened on Planet patriots.

That was one of the most amazing plays I've ever seen. It was 4th down, so he knew he had to keep fighting for it, and somehow got it.

There was a penalty, holding I think, and the play got wiped out anyways. But that play showed an unreal amount of determination and fight.

Hopefully he's on the field more next season.

we dont need another small shifty receiver, we need a tall, fast deep threat guy to stretch the field

I think we need a big possession type receiver. Enough with the small finesse type receivers that can be checked at the LOS and be thrown off their game.

I thought Gronk/Hernandez would fill that need, but Gronk stayed in to block more often than not.

I think we need a possession type receiver that can fight through traffic and catch contested balls. Yes, Larry Fitz, but that is a pipe dream.
