Yes, the legendary and impossible trio of Tom Brady, Wes Welker and Rob Gronkowski are continuing to make defenses of all shapes and sizes, bad, good and great all look pretty bad but yet .... there is still the posibility that they could get even better, believe it or not.
1. Chad Ochocinco: At this point in his career, he is not what he used to be but he could very well be a savvy-veteran down the field threat who could get open on critical third downs to keep the chains moving. By now, he should have a great knowledge base, with still enough speed, moves and quickness to school the young guys routinely like Hines Ward did a few years ago, or what Randy Moss did when he was about 32 or 33 but not quite as much. And yes, double teams could still be drawn, making it nearly impossible for someone else on the offense not to be left one on one.
2. Danny Woodhead: Just a short year ago, he was becoming a household name, and nearly found his way on the cover of Madden 2011. His extreme elusiveness and explosive playmaking ability had defensive coordinators pulling their hair out, and attacted extra attention towards him throughout the course of games. Only if he could reach that level again would it be just about impossible for others not to get wide open looks for the big play or big run every other series.
3. Julian Edelman: I know how some people may view this but I keep saying it ... that this guy is a complete football player. His super quickness can turn heads, and elusiveness is even more of that than the great Wes Welker. With the ball in his hands, he can be extremely dangerous whether it be a screen, quick hitch, reverse or hand off. Creative ways to get him more involved in the offense could pay huge dividends... especially if he is in at slot. If you go back to 2009, he was one of the NFL's leading rookie receivers and was on his way to becoming a very dangerous young slot receiver who could break tackles, rack up lots of yards and be very effective in the redzone.
4. Kevin Faulk: Yes, "The King of 3rd Downs" is getting old but he is still very servicable none the less. Still, with the ability to catch, get open and make people miss, his impact in games remains present to this day. Just imagine if we ran two RB packages where Danny is split wide and Kevin gets open underneath? That would be almost an automic 5 to 10 yards.
5. Stevan Ridley: This kid can play, as I've seen during some opportunities he has been given. Pretty explosive and runs well going north and south.
6. Tiquan Underwood: I really like him, even though he made some key drops during a few games. I really do think he does a great job of creating separation with the speed and quickness neccessary. If he works on his hands just a little bit, with that formidable fade that he has going, he can become a well known face in the NFL pretty quickly. And to add, I also like the knickname "KID".
7. Matthew Slater: I may get picked on for this, but I like to call him the "Silver Skater" because he is soo smooth when he runs down field. Very very fast, but looks like he is gliding almost. I think that well, not saying he is polished but his speed could be a factor if he develops a pair of good hands. Love his heart, and ability and think that he too can contribute on offense and shown with that long pass from Tom Brady during the preseason.
Just imagine if these things develop along the way, what that could mean for other teams.
