Ready to lead the league, once again, in the injury report.

Pats always have a long list.

Thank God Brady is listed as probable with a shoulder injury. I hope that remains his listing for the rest of his career, after what happened the last time he was taken off of the injury report.

Yes. If he had a sense of humor, he'd change his middle name to "Probable Shoulder".

Hey Shawn had full practice and is probable ... good news!

Sorry both Edelman and Welker are only questionable.
I wish one was ready to go.

One can only hope that either Welker or Edelman can go. Otherwise the Pats are without a true slot receiver and that will definitely affect their game plan.

I agree, if either of these two are limited then the game plan could very well be adjusted - Aiken can play there, he would seem to me to be the choice over moving Galloway in as Galloway seems to have his plate full learning his one position.

Prolly see more 2 TE sets and more passes to any of our backs coming out of the b/field or even lined up as WR as Faulk often does.

I do not think it wil be a problem though - plenty of weapons here.

I would prefer both to rest until week 2. Not worried about the Bills. Want to beat the Jets badly.

Agreed. I've been reassuring myself that if both were likely to miss time, Lewis would still be on the roster. It's soothing to think so, anyway.

 

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Not good news if Welker is questionable...

Are you implying that if the a receiver who has 220+ receptions over the last 2 seasons can't play, he can be adequately replaced by a rookie 7th round quarterback convert? You have some high expectations.

I'm pretty sure that all him implied is that with NEITHER Welker nor Edelman, the Pats have no slot receiver.

i hear you on that. i was basically saying in a round-about way I refuse to let the Dave Thomas 08 /Chad Jackson 07 hype contribute to the Edelman 09 craze.

If welker can't go, I'd expect to see double TE sets and a heavy dose or rushing to keep the safties honest and openings for Moss. I'd be surprised if Edelman gets many balls with or without Welker in the first half of the year.

Agree 100%. Would much rather them both (at least Wes) rest til week 2. After all the talking Rex and that team about how great their D is gonna be, I want all our offensive weapons ready to go for that one.

and if say welker doesnt play all season, are u saying that edelman wont be able to pop out of nowhere and get 100 balls at ALL?

is it probable taht edelman can replace welker? NO

is it POSSIBLE? that edelman can replace welker? Yes......
