It isn't conjecture at all to say something else was going on with Gordon that bothered the team. That's the only reasonable conclusion that can be reached.
Jees, Hyped old buddy. I never thought you'd go over to the dark side of this discussion. Calm down, bud. The Pats have succeeded using young players on offense. They went to the AFCCG with TWO rookies on the OL in 2015 and won a superbowl in 16 by adding another rookie.
Secondly, may I remind you that we are talking about WR's here. The most replaceable position in the league. There was a REASON Harry was drafted in the first round. He is one of the most talented WR's in this year's class, of which several have already excelled. Myers has caught virtually EVERY ball that's been thrown within reach. Will they make mistakes? Of course they will, but not on EVERY play, or even some plays. Sure they'll f*ck up 3 or 4 plays, but they WON'T the other 30 odd plays they'll be in there for.
Thirdly, have you forgotten that between White and Burkhead you have 2 guys who are ACCOMPLISHED receivers, and Watson and Lacosse are going to surprise you this week. If Brady has time, he'll have ENOUGH receivers to throw to.
So put down the gun, pardner. and answer me the one question we SHOULD be discussing. If Bill wants to take away ONE thing from the Cowboy offense, what should it be????????
Probably. Good news is that Sanu seems to be giving it a shot, and Dorsett as well. Still holding out hope...he had to take a dump.....at his size, it probably takes awhile

That might have been true in the day when defenses played stable fronts game in and game out. But now in the day of the amoeba fronts, complex delayed blitzes, and "roaming fronts", the skill level of the offensive front has had to grow to the point where it matches the sight reads that receivers often have to make.My responses on a point-by-point basis:
1.) Skill players have a higher learning curve than guys in the trenches.
Eh, I half agree. Everything is conjecture because we're not in the room. What you're saying might make more sense than the other alternatives, but in the words of Spock, "We have no evidence. Just a theory, which happens to fit the facts."
@ 1:39 Reiss says he was told Sanu is gonna try to practice today to see how the ankle responds.
if it responds favorably i'd put him at probably a game-time decision.
Looking forward to Sanu returning punts again this Sunday...
