Can someone explain why they split James Develin out wide?

Don't know for sure, but it probably has something to do with who would be likely to cover him.

 

[FrodoBagginz]

So how the h*** did no other team want Edelman when he went free agent?

You are asking us? LOL...who knows what goes on in mind of Mcdaniels.

JE is a stud. Period. I don't know if he would have caught that Amendola ball, but damn if I'm ever betting against this kid.

So is Ridley, by the way.

Josh McDaniels.

 

[JMC00]

Ball came out after forward progress was stopped. But they'll overturn it just because.

 

[Fencer]

I think it's worth mentioning that despite the line play and having one reciever Brady is 21-29. That's remarkable

Wright and Thompkins have both looked like receivers at least once each ...

 

[Mark12]

Amendola should give half his paycheck to Edelman.

 

[DefenseRules]

Devey out

GOOD hopefully he won't be back.

I assume to remove a LB from the middle of the field

 

[Rob0729]

You are right, but that is what goes into being an NFL wideout.

Watch the catch JE just made.

That is a completely different catch. And he might not have caught it pending review.

How many would have believed it if we'd said 2-3 years ago Edelman would be the man in this offense?

The GOAT for a reason bro

 

[fightingirish595]

i just feel if the oline gets its crap togeather, theres no reason we cant have a top 10 or 5 offense, there is talent there, lets not forget we were top 10 in both rushing and passing last year and tied seocnd in scoring

 

[NG Pats Fan]

Edelman is a legit WR1.

no hes not. great slot wr though.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Holy crap Edelman has gotten good ...

He's always been incredibly gifted physically. I now wonder just how different things would be if he hadn't broken his arm against the Titans his rookie year.

 

[Delicate Genius]

This ref sounds so depressed.

 

[50-yard-line]

Well, he always did show flashes, he just kept getting hurt.

You need a team with the flexibility and talent (coaches included) to utilize non-standard players like Edelman... not many teams can do it, nor want to expend the energy to do so.

 

[Seanzayyy]

That's a catch...
