Sammy Morris- was a huge loss in the running game, but Maroney steped it up.. the 1-2 punch will be good down the stretch..

Dave Thomas- will take over for Brady, but will emerge I think as a better tight end than Watson .. I think he could be a good weapon for Brady..

I dont know about Chad Jackson yet, but wont count him out..

Sammy Morris will be huge for us if he can stay healthy.

If the JAX game from 2006 is any indication, he might just make a huge difference. (Heck, even his first reception of the season was huge--29 yards.)

Also, he was stuck behind two first-round draft picks in 2006, and then got rushed back to the field too early last year.

If Thomas performs like he did here at UT, he will be awesome.

ALP

let me put it this way....

when does watson's contract expire? b/c i dont think we resign him....

as for CJ, i think this is his year to show something...not much of course, cuz moss and welker will overshadow him, and b/c gaffney will take some snaps from him....but he will be waht donte was last year

imaginve if CJ becomes the next Moss?

also, our running game will be great as well with the two backs

I hope Chad Jackson can replace the role that Donte Stalworth played this last season for the New England Patriots. With Jackson and Washington backing up (possibly) Moss, Gaffney and (of course) Welker, I don't think Stalworth will be missed at all. Even if Jabar signs elsewhere, I think the Pats will be okay at the wide out position barring any injuries during the season.

Having Morris back will give the Pats that "one-two" combo they had with Dillon. In no way is Morris the same back as Corey Dillon, but Dillon wasn't what he used to be either. It will be great to have him back to help Maroney and provide extra depth at the running back position. Saving Maroney for the playoff was critical in the decision to of not utilizing him too much in the regular season. If Morris was around, I suppose he would had proven to be extremely adequate to the offense.

Dave Thomas has no pressure to perform, so I think it will be great to have his size and good hands on the roster. Watson has been less than spectacular, but I have to say that others like Ben Troupe and Vernon Davis have lived up to their billing as well. Finding a guy like Ben Coates seems to be harder than I thought. Finding a guy exactly like Coates is near impossible. If Arthur Love couldn't get it done, what makes you think anyone else can?

I think DT will give to the team what Fauria provided the Pats 4 or 5 years ago, but both of their games are totally different from that of KB. So, in this sense, the Pats are adding a far better receiving and route running TE, yet at the same time, they're also adding a far worse blocking TE in DT. Aside from the SB, KB was one hell of a blocker and used to stand up and drive back DEs on a regular basis so I really wouldn't be surprised if the Pats pick up a JAG blocking TE or bring back KB at the vet min.
