Jimke's post about WR catches this weekend...

Thought this was an interesting topic - and we are STARVED for those:

MY REPLY just to kick it off...

Good, fair question. Maybe you can make that its own thread. My answer would be two - Caldwell and Gabriel. I think each will have 2, maybe one of them grabs 3. With the healthy and improved OL, Brady will have a running game (even without LoMo) and time to throw. He'll find his WRs.

As for "receivers," in general, I'd say...6 besides Troy, those being - Caldwell and Gabriel, Faulk, Dillon, Watson, Graham. Each of those guys will have more than one catch.



So...thoughts?

Your being too conservative, BB likes to use all his active players at some point in the game. He'll probably rotate active OL reserves in for a series or two, and I expect him to use all active WRs to give them some game action. Gabriel may be ready to run most basic plays, but I'd actually expect him to be used in limited sets - same same for J.Smith.

Troy, Gabriel, Reche, for sure at WR. J.Smith possibly.
Graham, Watson, Mills at TE.
Dillon, Faulk, and Evans, possibly Maroney at RB.
I say 9 different receivers for sure, maybe 11 (or 12 if Vrabes plays some goal line).

For real fun, we should try and guess the game day inactives...

Jackson
Mruczkowski
Kaczur
L.Smith
Bruschi
Hill
Thomas
Cassel - 3rd QB.

Maybe that can be a separate thread. I'd really like to see what people think of this topic - how many WR (and then receivers) will have multiple receptions on Sunday?
