BB on plays of the week vs. Steelers

Bill Belichick: Can't overlook Rob Gronkowski as route runner

Reiss has a good summary of BB's plays-of-the-week video, but those are always worth watching through anyway.

One thing that was noted neither on the video nor in Mike's summary -- Edelman actually blocked 2 different Steelers on the same Blount run.

I think Matt Chatham's recap actually did point that out (Edelman taking out two defenders on the play).

Just guessing here, but I suspect that this blocking by receivers -- WRs and of course TEs too -- is a big part of what is hinted at being unusually good early-season team chemistry. It's pretty much the ultimate in teamwork -- everybody on offense (thankfully with the exception of the QB) is hitting guys on behalf of everybody else.

Yeah, that screen pass was an awesome play. Considering the athleticism of 4/5ths of our OL (excluding RT), we should be able to successfully execute many more of them, especially when/if Dion Lewis returns.
