Pats sign Chris Harper off PS

[VrabelMayeWin]

If Harper is a good route runner, what are his weaknesses?

Basically no overwhelming physical characteristics. Under 6 Ft. average 3 Cone, average 40.

Doesn't mean he can't or won't be a good player. But nothing about his size/speed says he'll be more than just a guy.

eerily reminiscent of Troy Brown years back

Welker, Edelman, Troy Brown...bigger than some.

With a situation like this you can only try and find a positive spin. At least this injury to Edelman happened in week 10 rather than in week 16. With the situation as it currently is, there is a chance that Edelman will be back for the playoffs. If anything, the Patriots under Belichick and Brady have demonstrated time and again that winning in the regular season is as easy as breathing for them. It's the playoffs where the unexpected truly happens against this team. That's when they need every weapon on both sides of the ball. So I am not as bothered by the injury. On the contrary, it will serve to strengthen every level of this team.

The worst situation for an injury to a key player is during the game it happens. Once the team has some time to prepare they seem to work around those losses better than most teams.
