I completely disagree with this article. This was AD part two, and something that was nipped in the bud, before it had a chance to contaminate the team.

There are a lot of flaws with this article. Sorry Derek, but this is a flop.

2001 through 2004 : The Pats had 3-4 "slot receivers" with no deep threat and did very well for themselves. In fact, those teams didn't have the quality of TEs that the Pats currently do either.

The evaluation of the current receivers and the ignoring of the TEs only takes away from the article. Tate and Hernandez are not slot receiver type players. In fact, Hernandez has shown he can line up in the slot or on the flank and have success. Tate has always been lined up out wide. Price is an unknown at this point, but he's a solid 6' receiver who runs in the 4.4 range.
