I was comparing the offense this year to Brady's smurfs whom helped earn us 3 SB victories. I'm thinking Belichick will expand upon what he learned this year in 2 ways.
1: It will be hard to find another Welker but Belichick will look for a Welker clone in the draft. If we keep Randy Moss I think his value to the team is even greater if we surround him with 2 smurfs instead of 1. A way to keep the safety from rolling over the top is to make him respect the over the middle catches designed with the intention of greater YAC.
2: Faulk has a few years left with the team. However, I see Belichick expanding Faulks role next year and also drafting another pass receiving small scatback type of RB in this years draft. Faulk going short along with 2 slot-type WR's instead of 1 will negate heavy pass rushes and give Brady more time to throw even more balls to Moss.
If Belichick does indeed go this route I see Brady and Moss eclipsing the records they set this year. Adding an improved Maroney to that attack like we saw at years end and I think we will absolutely see the greatest offense ever.
I don't want to say Belichick made any mistakes this year. I'm saying he will see where we were exploited and he sill stick a dagger in it. If he can find a kid that can be 75% of what Welker is then he'll have found that weapon. So say good bye to Stallworth as Gaffney takes over by himself the role of the mid-range YAC reciever to complement Moss and the 2 smurfs.
