I think Belichick was looking to go two TE with a veteran QB, but things changed when he decided to start Jones from game 1 on. I don’t think they wanted Jones throwing over the middle all day, so it may have limited their two TE options, as well as the fact that they couldn’t threaten defenses deep, which allowed them to pack the middle more than the Patriots would have liked. They really need to be able to stretch defenses next season, both vertically and horizontally, and they need serious upgrades at the #1 and # 2 WR’s to do that. If they address this then defenses will open up and a two TE offense will be more useful. Either way Jonny Smith is going to have to step it up next season.
