Patriots rule out Julian Edelman, Gronkowski questionable

[Alfred]

I look forward to these games.

The Giants lost half their LBs and a starting CB and still won the SB.

Because they outcoached the Pats.

Edelman Out VS Bills

Bein that JE is ruled out this week Vs Bills I was trying to see if that is a good thing-bad thing, has a positive or negative effect on Pat's Offense mainly having to do with Welker goin back into his full time slot receiving role.
With all these posts of JE starting over Welker limiting his play etc, now Welker has his slot back full time VS Bills would Pat's offense run take a hit or run more smoothly for Brady?
Thoughts?

Edelman hasnt been playing the slot in the 3 WR sets...hes been playing outside receiver, and Welker the slot..

all it likely means is that Branch will be playing outside receiver instead of edelman..I think at this point Edelman is a better outside receiver than branch(who really made little impact in the 2nd half of the ravens game)

Re: Edelman Out VS Bills

Wes Welker started in the slot last week, Edelman has been starting on the outside. Hernandez was taking snaps in the slot role instead of Welker.

So if Gronk can't go we're looking at a TE lineup of Fells and Hoohoo?

Yeah but the "summer of Gronk" was a ton of fun.

 

[Avenger]

Line up Branch and Lloyd on the outside, Woodhead and Welker in the slots, Ridley in the backfield.

The fact that you're using that as an example why Gronk is questionable is rather sad. Grasping at straws it seems.

Why on earth would they use Woodhead in the slot? He's not a good receiver. His route running and awareness is mediocre-to-poor and his hands aren't particularly good.

They'd be better off splitting Fells or Hoomanawanui off the line than putting Woodhead in the slot.

Gronk is playing tomorrow. Adam Sheftner just tweeted

Logan Mankins did not travel w. the team. He is out.

I hope Brady isn't teed off tomorrow.

Thomas-Wendell-Connolly

That was awesome how he partied all night after the Superbowl, and his self named "Summer of Gronk" sure was a boon for the Enquirer and People Magazine, and that huge new contract was a lot of fun too !

The 1 -2 start to the season.........not so much.

OK . . . please explain to me how the "Summer of GRONK" is responsible for this. . . .
