Who backs up Edleman inside? Dorsett mostly seemed to me like an out side threat his first two years here. This year in preseseason he seemed to be catching more out of the slot. I don't watch replays and watch the game to enjoy it not analyze it so please correct me if I am wrong about Dorsett.
This leads me to Myers. Clearly he is number five on our roster (I don't consider Gunner anything beyond st he is so green), but if he is the number two inside guy I could possibly see him rising to number four active some weeks. Either because the 1,2,3,4 guy is banged up or the team wants to send a message-don't worry Jules-to a guy ahead of him to work harder for his spot. So I he may be activated some games if he is doing well in practice.
We still have Meredith hanging in the wings later in the season if injuries hit hard.
Back to OT and Thomas. I expect to see him come along slower than Gordon and possibly be inactive first couple weeks. I wonder if the new contract is has the same heavy game incentives as the old one. Probably mentioned way back in the thread, but Thomas was among a handful of released Patriots that did not go through waivers on his release. Not sure of rules on why, but that loop hole allowed the Patriots to release him if they felt strongly about the relationship with little risk of loosing him. Don't recall the use of the loop hole by Patriots before.
