I don't know if its me but ever since Hernandez got hurt in the Steelers game and had to wear the brace that he still wears today,it appears to have been hampering him for the past several games.

I was getting used to seeing Hernandez floating open downfield and finding many opportunities to get open and looked to me like we finally had a TE that is a downfield threat,but ever since the injury,its apparent he has had problems getting seperation from defenders and without a doubt he is not the same.

Could it be defenses catching up to the routes of the TEs or that brace?

Hasn't looked 100 percent to me.

well considering that he has been almost invisible i think he isn't healthy.

Oh come on, he's the same guy.

Looked to me like he was not even wearing the brace Sun (at least not in warm-ups). Like all the other receivers, he has just been affected by the declining play of the offense, exposed by a lack of an outside threat or a running game.

Meh...you saw him in his first game back. He was slow as ****. You don't think the brace and injury aren't bothering him?

We need Hernandez back to his early season form regardless.

What does Ron Brace have to do with Hernandez?

he has been limping after being tackled- i don't think his knee is 100%

I think injury is a big factor, also which is my opinion, he seems mentally weak, a common pattern in post 04 Patriots. He was healthy against the Jets and was supposed to be a huge factor, he checked out big time, I think its time to look at him for what he is, a young ass sophomore, younger than many rookies.

This is a tough one. After all, perhaps the Giants just played good coverage on him and Brady found better options.

His production certainly isn't what we've come to expect from the first few games.
