2 TE, 2 WR, 1 RB formation

[PATRIOTS-80]

That's the positional breakdown that we used against the Ravens earlier in the year

Look for a lot of passes to go to Faulk and Watson.

Re: 2 te -- 2 wr - 1 rb

That seems like the best set for our whole playoff run.

Faulk and Watson along with other players such as Baker and Aiken need to step up. I have faith in Faulk its the others that concern me a lil.

That should be our formation the rest of the way. As bad as losing Welker is, if any good can come from it is to see less 5 wide

I would not count on it!

The more Brady is under center the better from here on in.

weren't fred taylor and sammy out by this time? do we couldn't use sammy at fb?

 

[Fencer]

I tend to think Sammy Morris and Chris Baker are at least as good football players as whoever the third WR would be. So yeah, those formations have a lot of merit even irrespective of opponent.

Positional groupings for Patriots' offense - Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston

This is the positional breakdown for the Falcon game W/O Wes Welker.

"The tight ends were a big part of this game plan, as evidenced by 50 snaps coming with multiple tight ends on the field (60 percent). It wasn't necessarily a grind-it-out approach as there were times when the Patriots would have their 2 WR/2 TE/1 RB package on the field and actually split the tight ends out wide, with receivers Randy Moss and Sam Aiken in the slots."
