Which member of the I.R.S. will make the biggest impact in 2009?

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

No,Its not THAT I.R.S...Its the Injured Reserve Squad players from 2009 who missed most of last season

WES WELKER NOT INCLUDED - INJURED IN JANUARY

Which one of these players coming back fron early injury that knocked them out of the 2009 season early will come back with the biggest impact in 2010?

 

[Defsoul]

I voted for Brandon Tate. He will be dangerous on kickoff returns and catch some long bombs from Brady.

 

[wilfork is beastin']

Either Tate or T-Mac. Although if Crable can make it through the preseason without getting injured I'll be excited to see what he can do.

 

[Gwedd]

T-Mac. I question how much time Tate will get with the receivers and tight ends we now have onboard.

 

[resdubwhite]

I think Tate simply because he is going to get the biggest opportunit of all to show what he can do. I'm hoping McKenzie can act as an excellent backup to Mayo and Spikes.

 

[mgteich]

Tate will given opportunities at reciever (#4) and at retruner. He also actually was seen as good enough to play in a game last year. He really has no real competition for these positions other than himself. If he can produce, he will get playing time.

 

[They_Hate_We]

I voted Tate. McKenzie has a lot of competition, and Crable hasn't played in so long he's probably forgotten what a football looks like.

 

[Bostonian1962]

I hope it's Tate, but I am suspect about his ability to stay healthy. I've given up on Crable's ability to stay healthy.

I say I hope it's Tate, because if he's a stud this offense will be potent. Yet, if McKenzie's not a stud, Spikes will be. I love the make up and the tackling machine background of McKenzie.

If they both (Tate and McKenzie) are studs this year, we will be in Dallas in February.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Tate has the best chance of making an impact, either on special teams or on offense, due to how thin the receivers are. Mckenzie will probably back up at ILB behind Spikes.

 

[DarrylS]

Gotta go with McKenzie, no other reason is that his life story is quite compelling.. anything other reason would be a crapshoot..

 

[Brady2Welker]

The IRS employee that looks the other way so we can pay Brady the big bucks, will make the biggest impact.

(Probably Tate)

 

[Modest]

Tate. To the effect of being our new mini-Moss.

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

For the few times that Tate was out there last year,he looked as if he was capable of seperating himself from defenders, but seemed a bit unable to grasp the routes,I would think this offseason will help him.

 

[Patsfan76]

Going with Crable!!!

 

[Kontradiction]

I went with Tate, though I'm really hoping for Crable.

 

[patsfan-1982]

i said Tate, cause he is the only one that seen any playing time.



and i think it funny that for the 3rd year in a row crable, is still the biggest pass rushing hope by all of us fans lol

 

[Feep50]

Had to go with Tate, but we would all love to see Crable get on the field and show us some ability.

 

[pats1]

LeVoir was on the PUP. He was on the 53-man roster for the last ~10 games of the season.

 

[thechris]

I'm expecting minimum impact from those guys. If Tate catches more than 20 passes this season I'll be stunned.

...Who will be catching the passes? Darnell Jenkins? Buddy Farnham? Matt Slater? Bryan Anderson? ...Keron Henry? Rich Musinski? John Stone?
