Let's try again. The three top wide receivers will get lots more opportunities. Heck, the #4 and #5 receivers will be as good as last year's starters. Actually, they may BE last year's starters. Watson may not even be on the field on 3-wide sets, and certainly not on 4 or 5 wide sets. I certainly wouldn't have him out there. I'd have Brady and Faulk. And even if he's out there, his job will be TO BLOCK, and to catch the occasional pass. Guys like Gates and Crumpler are the best receivers on their teams, as Watson was last year. Those days are long gone.
So, even though he will be single teamed, Watson will catch fewer passes than last year.
And dare I hope that we will be able to RUN the ball more this year?

It's funny. The guy was getting double teamed last year, and he was working with crappy WR's for most of the season (sorry but it's true). This season he'll have better WR's around him who will likely be the ones getting doubled, yet his production is going to fall.... Scratch that his production is going to substantially drop off? Are you people serious? Also, NE had Dan Graham blocking last year, yet Watson still get a lot of playing time.
