Depending on whether or not Mason starts, the Patriots will likely have 8 or 9 white guys in one of their main offensive sets (Gronk/Chandler/Edeleman/Amendola, plus Brady and 3-4 OL). And one of the black guys could be named White.
The situation on defense is the reverse of that, or even more extreme.
If some idiot remarks negatively on that, please note -- the Celtics were once the whitest team in the league, but before that they were unquestionably the blackest. It signifies nothing more than BB rating raw foot speed as relatively less important than other evaluators do. And I'd frame that as him really rating other attributes more highly -- e.g. the quickness fetish that causes him to use white smurf WRs two at a time, or his great fondness for TEs.
