Not to mention Hernandez did not play OL or DL so it really does not matter.Not all, by any means, but, in my opinion, a lot of the blame not just for today's loss but for last season as well.
Hernandez deserves some blame because he screwed this team contract-wise and timing-wise. He got jailed after the draft and the height of free agency, and left them scrambling with few options to replace a system they envisioned would last for years based on the contracts doled out to him and Gronk. Not to mention the dead cap space.
But BB has now had a full year to manage the situation and evaluate his team, and did nothing about the TE situation until signing Wright. But that's the least of their problems right now.
Excuses excuses excuses.

As Miguel has noted on patscap.com: the Prisoner accounts for about 6% of the Pats cap ($7.53M) and is, obviously, giving them absolutely nothing.
Next year, the Pats will be free and clear of his contract, and then it's on them. But, as far as I'm concerned, he very much deserves some of the blame for this year's problems.
