Re: Hernandez full participant at Wed practice; Gregory, White, Edleman, Hoomanawanui
I think we are good, but not VERY good without WW. He prevents the D from packing in the front 7 (why would you ever do that with TB under center, anyway?) by having to be covered by a CB but also the LB have to keep an eye on him coming across the middle. Very few inside, short route receivers get that kind of attention. That helps our running game and mid to deep passing game.
Teams with a solid corners (Jets, Seahawks) may not even provide safety help for guys like Gaffney or the WR2…but nobody is leaving WW in single coverage for more than an occasional play. (I think).
Without WW they are a very good offense.
With WW they are trancedent.
