Maybe a 2TE/Pony hybrid... Gronk & Wright plus Vereen & White/Ridley on the field at the same time, plus Edelman lined up outside. I think that might be effective against KC.
What is BB going to do next offseason if Dobson/KT/Amendola continue their path? 2015 rookie WRs aren't going to help a 38 year old Brady. Will BB actually pay for a top WR?
What Young said is nice and all, but are we just going to give Dilfer a pass? He basically attacked the organization by saying that they don't want to win Super Bowls, only make money. Hey Trent, how does 3 straight AFCCGs and a SB appearance NOT MEAN ****? I guess 31 teams only want to make money and not win SBs. Leave it to the guy who's defense won a SB IN SPITE of his offense. I don't want to hear this " he was a game-manager QB" because it's garbage. He was a bad QB who lucked into a title.
I have been saying it for a year, the window is closing with Brady and when it closes the odds/percentages that this team continues to succeed like it has are very slim.

I think Young and ESPN was totally off the mark. They have been one of the most successful teams in the NFL for the last 13 years! They do that by not selling out for old washed up players. The accomplishment is made more impressive by existence of the salary cap and the later in the draft picks.
It is not at all clear that Mankins was still able to play at high level, and the patriots were able to get him another offensive threat out of the deal.
ESPN wants to have a good story and create controversy, don't fall for the bs.

I think at least Dobson is the future of this team. I think ultimately he will be a good receiver. I just don't think they are doing him or Thompkins any favors deactivating them though. It is clear they were deactivated for scheme (and I still think Dobson is still working his way back). I don't think this is performance base.
People need to calm down with this "not helping Brady" thing, you don't go out to help 1 player, you help the entire team and what they did was rebuild the defense.
The Offense might not be very pretty but it will get better when they have some time to actually gel.
Personally, I do not agree with ESPN. Saying that the Patriots brain trust has consciously eschewed team building in favor of saving money is hyperbole.
IMHO their track record has been rather spotty in recent years on some draft picks/free agent signings when addressing the offense, but to say this is because they are consciously bringing in inferior talent to save money, as opposed to just a bad streak in personnel decisions for the offense, is a fairly large leap in logic.
