It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Edelman was the only receiver teams had to worry about last year (Hogan and Mitchell are fine but they're not guys for defenses to double team - although the Steelers maybe should have single teamed him more than not bothering to cover him) now Edelman is the other, other guy behind Gronk and Cooks. Barring injury it could be nuts - and a lot more versatile than 2007.Cooks is going to be dominant in this offense. Brady really showed off his deep ball last year and now he has an elite deep-speed receiver to throw to. Cooks can go long, short, slants, screens... ugh. It's gonna be great. And all that coverage going to Cooks and Gronk will give Edelman drastically more openings than he usually has.
Moss is Moss, and Moss + Welker were a dynamite combo, but there really wasn't a whole lot that defenses had to worry about beyond them. And Maroney was the top RB... Gronk + Cooks + Edelman is gonna be hard as heck to defend, plus some serious potential in the RB rotation of Gillislee/Burkhead/Lewis/White/Foster*, and guys like Hogan potentially being like the fifth option instead of the second.Edelman was the only receiver teams had to worry about last year (Hogan and Mitchell are fine but they're not guys for defenses to double team - although the Steelers maybe should have single teamed him more than not bothering to cover him) now Edelman is the other, other guy behind Gronk and Cooks.

yay football news!
The main thing to me is a wanna hear good things about Gilmore. I wanna hear how he is frustrating Brady and Edelman/Cooks all preseason.

It is raining a bit but...this doesn't shock me. Unfortunately.
I'm pumped about Cooks.
