All this crap about trading Welker made me think that the Patriots are just platooning receivers in this three games in ten days schedule. Branch game one - Lloyd, Stallworth and one of the tight ends tonight, and Welker, Gaffney and the other tight end on Wednesday against the Giants. They all get some PT and nobody gets a look at the whole group at work as a unit.
All the running backs are active tonight. That is probably the most significant group offensively to watch. We'll get a feel for the FBs and how they fit in, if at all. I'd love to see Larsen or Kettani play an important role. Serious fullback blocking presence is something we needed in the AFCC and the SB last year. I can still see no FBs on the 53.
