Schefter: Patriots to workout Plax

[Deus Irae]

Maybe BB will give him a shot?

:bricks:

But will he pull the trigger on a signing?

 

[Gwedd]

But will he pull the trigger on a signing?

So we're still targeting a wide receiver?

BB just may give him a shot

From the reports we've gotten BB seems to be taking aim at both the WR and OT positions.

Interesting proposition. If Burress has anything left (assuming he is signed) a 2TE 3WR O set would be Gronkowski, Hernandez, Welker, Lloyd, Burress.

Cirque du Foxborlei.

 

[Avenger]

That could be very devastating I'm the red zone paired up with Gronk, with Plax and Gronk on the outside, and Gaffney and Hernandez in the slot, with Riddley or Bolden in the back field.

I feel so juvenile laughing at this stuff

Seriously though, it might just be sour grapes but I'd prefer not seeing that d-bag on the Pats

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

didn't a report come out saying he wanted too much $$..the reason he still hasn't found a team?

 

[Deus Irae]

Well, for those who don't want Burress, Chad Johnson is available.

 

[Rusty Coupe]

Maybe the Pats promised Plax he could work with these guys if he scored a TD

Holster that thought.

say wha?.............

 

[Sciz]

Well, for those who don't want Burress, Chad Johnson is available.

And Taylor Price!

 

[fnordcircle]

Unsubstantiated reports are that Plaxico refused to go on the field while Chung was still working out because apparently Plax only does things with the safety off.

I believe Plax has stated recently he would take Vet's Min. Makes $ense why BB brought him in today.

I agree, especially since the Dolphins will likely be calling him now to replace Chad makes sense to see what he has to offer prior to the Dolphins making a run at him.

You have Gaffney in the slot ahead of Welker? Are we releasing Welker to sign Burress?

Red zone substitution, inside the 5 yard line I would sub Welker out. The point of that formation would be to go big and get size advantages.

Welker is too good at those little goal line dive catches of the ball

Not the best choice. Brady has an 85% completion percentage with him and Welker was their second leading receiver down there having been targeted 20 times for 17 receptions, 133 yards (7.8 avg) and 6 touchdowns in the red zones during the regular season. Not bad considering Gronkowski was their leading red zone guy with 26 targets for 18 receptions, 183 yards (10.2 avg) and 12 TD's.

So I agree it wouldn't hurt to have a 3rd receiver who could be effective down there, but Welker wouldn't be a guy I'd remove.
