Maroney, Moss and Edelman return to practice
 
Quote:

WR Randy Moss returned to practice after being ill yesterday. In addition, WR Julian Edelman and RB Laurence Maroney were back in full uniform for the first time all week. Meanwhile, DB Terrence Wheatley was not. For Edelman, who suffered a foot injury, this could potentially mean he’s back for Sunday.

Happy to hear that Edelman & Maroney are back, especially Edelman.

I wasn't ever worried about Moss.

Moss didn't worry me, but Edelman back is a VERY good sign :)

I'm wondering if this means the return of the sneaky roster spot, making Edelman the 2nd string QB, and labelling Hoyer as the "emergency QB". This is really not that much of a gamble, IF (god forbid) Brady gets hurt before the 4th quarter, you would have to bench Edelman to play Hoyer(for those that don't know, the "emergency QB" does not count as one of your 45 active players on game day, the only stipulation is, that if he gets in the game before the 4th Quarter, your #1 and #2 QBs can not play anymore (for that game). By naming Edelman the second string QB, you gain an extra roster spot on gameday.

I thought that they had a few packages for Edelman at QB last year, but his arm injury basically made them all worhtless.

A neat idea, but given the last time we saw Brady leave a game was about 7 minutes into the first, I wouldn't want to lose a weapon like Edelman for a whole game just to keep someone like Kyle Love on the active roster. Hoyer has looked good, but really would need every available weapon in that situation.

Moss and Maroney are no surprise, but glad to hear that Edelman's back.

What packages would they have specifically for Edelman? Or do you mean trick plays?

What evidence of this do you have? Have you gotten a copy of Randy Moss' bloodwork, or something?

If Brady gets hurt we're screwed anyway. I think having Hoyer be the 3rd qb and us getting an extra active roster spot is worth the gamble.
