They will put it together, and by December this will be one of the league's elite.
Galloway doesn't demand double teams. Gaffney sure didn't. We have Moss and Welker for that. The other guy needs to be in the right place, catch the ball and make a move after the catch. Maybe Edelman isn't ready for that, I think he probably isn't yet but we have never had 3 WR being double teamed and Gaff surely doesn't run a 4.3.The day that Edelman can demand double teams and run past corners at 4.3 speed will be the day that Belichick considers activating Edelman over Galloway.

I don't see why we have to choose between one or the other. I'd like to have Moss, Galloway, Welker, and Edelman out there. Why do we need three tight ends when we only use one?
Yes I know but our offense was fine with Gaff who never ran a 4.3 in his life nor demanded a double team. That is not what we need.It is Galloway that runs a 4.3.

Yes, our offense was fine with Gaffney. I wanted us to re-sign him.

Yes, our offense was fine with Gaffney. I wanted us to re-sign him. When we didn't I just accepted Galloway (and Lewis or Edelman) as a replacement for the his production. Remind me, how many catches did he have last year.
In that case you have invalidated what you say here :
Because Gaffney did neither.
Honestly, I don't know if Galloway, Edelman, Aiken or even Nunn is the best for that role - although my eyes tell me it's Aiken until E or N is 100% with the playbook. What I do know is we don't need a crazy double teamed 4.3 running stud on the other side. Just a guy who gets to the right place, makes the catch and makes good decisions after the catch.In 2007 the offense regularly had Gaff, Moss and Welker out there. What I've been thinking is that Edelman could play the Gaff role of crisp short and intermediate routes. I don't know, maybe Galloway is better suited for it.
