I blame the media.
:ugh: Why didn't I think of that? I like Gretchen Carlson for the shooter.

You don't have to have a good tightend and a move tightend to be successful these days offensively in the NFL. I don't know where that came from. Baltimore won the superbowl and they don't have that, neither did the Giants when they won the superbowl. That style of offense is a choice based off of personnel and strengths.

How good does BB look at claiming Ballard from the Giants. Makes you wonder if he saw potential problems with Hernandez. We all looked at the pot smoking incidents in college and probably thought big deal. Maybe there were other indications that the pot was nothing compared to behavioral issues. I mean seriously, signs a huge contract that sets him for life, and he is "somehow" involved in a murder. Wonder if there is a behavioral clause in his contract. Me thinks his days with N.E. are numbered.
Considering Belichick (and company) gave Hernandez a big fat extension after adding Ballard, I suspect that he didn't add Ballard expecting problems with Hernandez.
I don't think they'd have given Hernandez his big contract if they thought he was going to be an off-field issue.
Even without an arrest i doubt ahern plays here again.
No we don't, we didn't have one back in 2003 or 2004. Ben Watson doesn't count because he was injured after week 1 in 2004. We have enough talent, brains and ability at WR and RB that all we need is for Jake Ballard to play like we know he can and like the Giants knew he can (that's why they were pissed when we signed him) and then the rest is history.
Given that "in line" TE Gronk set the record for most receiving yards by a TE I think we can be all right without a "move" TE.
And having 2 guys on the field that are credible receiving threats as well as credible blockers could even be considered an upgrade.

Sudfeld, however, might the only TE with a decent chance of making the 53 who resembles a Move TE.
Brandon Ford actually resembles Hernandez more than anybody else, but I would be shocked if he made
the 53, or even the PS.

Well if the police solve the case and ahrrn is cleared then sure. But I don't see that happening as in I doubt it. More likely it just goes unsolved. What do they do then? The guy has a cloud over his head.Really? You don't think he ever plays another down here even if they'd come out today and publically state that he's no longer a focus or suspect in the investigation with absolutely no charges brought about?
I'd seriously doubt that myself. He's an extremely young, talented player who provides versatility, matchup mismatches/nightmares, with a huge dead cap hit who just signed a mega deal not even 1 calendar year ago.
The possibility exists that they'll explore the thought of him staying even if he's immediately suspended indefinitely and charged with obstruction of justice. This time next year he could easily be re-instated with this whole thing behind him should he choose to plea that out or admit to any wrongdoing. Of course the actual severity of the charges will play an enormous part of that decision too, so we have no way of knowing what those will be.
I hear what you're saying, but if the charges stay around the area of what has been expected/reported then I wouldn't say it's exactly a done deal that he'll certainly be gone just yet. If the charges are more serious then I agree with you 100% regardless of the outcome.

Ray Lewis did just fine with the cloud over his head.
Wasn't he found not guilty? Or cooperate in some way? IH ahern never talks to the police and the cloud over his head is that he either killed someone or knows and refuses to tell what happened, then I don't think Goddell or kraft will be OK with that. Just my guess.
