It's easy, and only takes a few moments.If people are going to wish for something, can we at least wish for a lot better than Greg Lewis? It's amazing how many people have been wishing we didn't cut Greg Lewis like he's actually a good player. He has 1 catch for 32 yards this year. It may feel like he should be in the Pro Bowl since we've seen that catch about 1000 times on ESPN, but he hasn't done anything aside from that 1 play.
I didn't see anything from him indicating he was a great fit for our system and would be doing far better here, either. He did nothing when he was here and was cut as a result.
Greg Lewis wasn't and isn't the answer to the 3rd WR problems in New England.
This is quite disappointing..but I would guess there's a back story to this that is still hidden. I was quite hoping after he sat out that he would spring out of it all, but just the opposite...more like the team has moved on without him. And today is a game where they could use a third wideout with a lot of experience.
GALLOWAY in John Denvers voice..." I'm staying off the jet plane, don't "KNOW" when I'll be back again...oh baby"...
Sure hope he's not on the Colts or Jets by mid-season.
"He was benched in the autumn of his 37th year ...
... Rocky Mountain loooooow"
It seems that
1) Tate will be back after the bye.
2) Galloway will be gone and perhaps playing against us later in the season, perhaps at indy.
3) For now, we need to accept to accept that Edelman is our #3 wide receiver and Aiken is our #4 wide receiver. As far as the #3 receiver, that player is Watson. Baker, Faulk, Maroney and Morris are all also solid receivers. That gives Brady 9 targets for now.
4) It seems sad that we cannot wait for Galloway to learn the offense. We waited for Gaffney.
=================
The patriots have played without two speed wide receivers on the outside before. In any case, Watson meets that need.
Evidently this was on ESPN :4) It seems sad that we cannot wait for Galloway to learn the offense. We waited for Gaffney.
Aiken is our Special Teams Captain and was our 4th WR and he is a pretty decent one.Excellent post. I would actually like to see Nunn get a chance over Aiken.
Galloway has played 1 type of offense his whole career.If Edelman can learn the offense in one training camp, why can't a fifteen year veteran? Even you and I know that when you are wide open in the end zone, both feet have to be in bounds to make a catch.

Why would we get rid of him if they still are on the hook for his entire season's salary to let him go to a contender? I don't see us outright cutting him.
Evidently this was on ESPN :
"But ESPN's Ed Werder reports the Patriots don't want to cut him and there is hope this is part of the "Patriot maturation" process"
Whatever that means but it doesn't sound like they're in a rush to cut him.
Aiken is our Special Teams Captain and was our 4th WR and he is a pretty decent one.
We're not in the same position as we were in 07 with 2 elite receivers, 1 pretty good fast receiver and 1 reliable 4th receiver. As well as the Backs and Tightends.
Galloway has played 1 type of offense his whole career.
You can't just adjust straightaway.
The Patriots offense is complicated.
That's why I expect the Pats won't cut him until after the trade deadline, at which point he'll have to clear waivers.
