I do indeed suggest that Lewis makes the roster as a core special teamer with occasional reps on offense. We then have: Moss, Welker, Galloway, Edelman, Lewis and Aiken. Absent injuries, the top three should get almost all the reps. After all, our #4 receiver is Faulk and our #5 receiver is touchdown maker Chris Baker.
BTW, if Edelman continues to progress, Tate could end up on IR instead of PUP.

Understood, he's a fine blocker, and I don't discount that. But how are you seeing him used?
If we call 3 WR the Patriots' "base" with Moss wide and Welker in the slot, there's a "starting" spot left to be claimed. (Let's assume that Edelman is a slot alternative and 4-wide guy.) Does Lewis routinely line up wide opposite Moss due to his blocking skills? Or are you proposing he makes the roster as a core special teamer with occasional strategic reps on offense?
It seems to me that this offense is really relying on Galloway to come around. It's still likely that he will. (Remember how in the pre-Moss&Welker days we assumed it took ages for a QB & WR to develop rapport?) But in the practices I've watched as well as the Philly game, Galloway stood out to me as being completely off-kilter and out of sorts. I'll be reassured when that starts turning around.
