It isn't just Brady, Revis and Gronkowski that need to stay healthy, 95% of the most important starters needs to stay healthy. It was an incredible coaching job by Belichick to get to the AFCCG, with Gronkowski, Wilfork, Kelly, Mayo, etc on the IR. Our defense was shredded up the middle with all of the defensive injuries (Talib was key player who missed games too). And our offense isn't elite when Gronkowski is out. IF we had all of our team healthy like Denver did, I think we would have gone to the SB last year. Add in Revis and Browner to that defense, IF they stay healthy this team can beat anyone.
Brady was amazing considering the pressure up the middle,his only experienced established WRs don't catch many passes beyond 7 yards and the only WRs with big play ability were very raw rookies with rookie jitter hands. A lot of people are banking on Revis to be an all out Savior. While he is a top3 corner and perhaps best he can only control so much. While I love Browner I do have concerns with his speed as he is very close to 30. But my concern is passrush. Somebody has to step up. Easley/Buchanan/Moore need to compete to be that guy who steps up. Although I expect our young triad of WRs to step up I would like to trade for another talented prospect that can emerge. Until somebody steps up we never have enough prospects. I really like Denarius Moore. That dude is explosive and has shown he can Totally ICE respected corners! He has his problems,but on a garbage team. We are the new england patriots. Denarius Moore won't have them problems here. He will be blown away and embrace our work ethic and winning attitude. I think he really takes off here and he becomes a steal. I think finding gems from bad teams that can flourish on a new team is essential to winning a Superbowl. Part of being proactive and showing ability to evaluate talent and anticipate. Not to mention he would be catching passes from the best QB in a precision system rather than that sandlot trash in Oakland. Sterling Sharpe believes on a team like patriots or saints Moore would be a top 10 WR. I would bet my prized plane he would be awesome here. Everybody knows I want Finley. He is in tremendous shape from rehab and training. He is very determined to be an impact again. If we play Seattle in the Superbowl i he can settle Chancellor and put him on the defensive with his tough nasty downfield blocking. Next we need to fix interior OLine. Not put a bandaid gut fix it. Then we are Superbowl favorites and should dominate any team.
Nothing big, Finley won't break the bank. Denarius we can get for a 4th rounder. Only thing that can cost us is obtaining a dominant guard or center. Unless we sigh Incognito. But trading mallet and a #3 or a #2 draft pick is a small price to pay to protect our franchise. Help ensure his health while giving him a clean pocket with time to dissect offenses and step up and pass. Makes our WRs better and whole passing game. Vereen and Gronkowski will be weapons on every play because they won't be needed to block. Our OLine will finally be able to block any DLine one on one. So if it costs a #2 its a small price for a Superbowl trophy.
