expect 3TE plenty . esp in Sept
last yr it was about stretching the field to help dunkin'
this yr seems to be about the trenches & physicality taking the pressure off TB & passing game

Hollister will have a big impact.

With the Decker signing, I really don't think there's room for either McCarron or Berrios without cutting Britt which I think would be shortsighted.

Hogan, Dorsett, Decker, Britt, Patterson, Slater seems pretty set. We never keep 6 unless you count Slater, in which case we never keep more than 6.

I think they're trying so many players at punt returner because they don't want to have to carry an inferior WR on the roster over someone with much better value. I expect the PR this year (at least while Edelman is in jail) to be someone who hasn't done much of it before, like when we rolled with Blount as the world's largest kick returner. I like what I've heard about Burkhead's tryout so far more than anyone else.

Not the kind of WR that does well here Brady love quick guys.

Meh. As long as the receiver gets open Tom is fine.

Moss, JoJo in 2014 and Givens are examples.

If McCarron or Berrios displays the quickness Brady loves and familiarity with the Offense...Bet the house on them making it over Britt. I still think Eric Decker is gong to be a pleasant surprise.

Good way to get Jordan Richards off the team!

Agree with everything except Decker

 

[AtomicDawg]

Also you can hear coach Fears here encouraging the guys.

There is going to be plenty of that unfortunately minus Edelman in the First Four Gronk will be a marked man.

Gilly ahead of Hill here ..

Was advocating zero WR sets just the other day..

I think we've seen enough of TC to roughly know what we have. Berrios is not going to be worth a 53 man roster spot. McCarron has at least shown potential, but we also know the team really likes Britt. I don't think the team is desperate for a way to keep McCarron.

As for "familiarity with the offense", what makes you think Britt wouldn't be in a better place than at least Berrios, having been with the team longer? I think you're overrating Berrios and McCarron because of past players who have nothing to do with them, and underrating Britt because he's a jerk.

Be sure to convey this to BB, don't hold back..

Moss was just the HOFer Moss and 2014 was Statistically one of LaFell's Best years... Brady cannot make chicken salad out of chicken ####. Those Players have to make plays too. If the WR suck they will not have Brady's trust. I think we have a paltry group at the moment.

 

[jah]

If you don't think he's got some strong opinions by now, I don't know what to tell you. They're not necessarily what you or I say, but he definitely has some plans in mind already.

If the defense does its job, the 'Skins should be punting at least 8 times - one for each!
