Whose return are you more excited for?

[neuronet]

Jules has actually returned punts so I'm more excited to see him return. I think we can use Hightower in a better role.

Just wrap him in bubble wrap during ST is my feeling.

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

D needs more help and Hightower is the D QB...

Love Edleman and what he brings (especially with Amendola being on the Dolphins), but I have less expectation that he will be close to 100% Edleman.

Hightower getting up there in age and those injuries have slowed him down.

Wait - whuuuuut????

 

[Kontradiction]

Hightower. When he went down and KVN missed time, the play of the LBs was downright horrific.

 

[BlueThunder]

How come Edeltower is not an option ?

 

[Patriot Missile]

I love Jules and either player would of got it done.

But I got to go with a healthy Hightower. Not too many LB's obliterate like he does during an A gap blitz. Could of been the difference but really, they had injuries too. Starting LT, Starting QB etc.

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

Jules is my second favourite player after Brady so... Jules

 

[MSPatsFan28]

I am more worried about the departure of "whose" .

I see what u did there.

I voted for Hightower. As other posters have mentioned, we can get by without Edelman. Our D takes a nosedive without Hightower.

 

[Simpelton]

I'm actually expecting Hightower to be substantially less than 100% for the first few games back, so my vote goes to Edelman, who's had a full season to recover from his ACL issue and is less likely to have "he stinks" threads about him on this forum in Week 5

Hightower because he is the soul of that defense.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Not on this list but Mitchell. Need to see if he can regain form but looks like the knee is still an issue.

But on this list? DH

 

[Chuck Walden]

Probably Jules a little more than Hightower, just cause so long as one of Edelman and Gronkowski is healthy, the offense functions fine. Together it's unstoppable.

Pretty crazy to think we came one drive away from winning the Super Bowl with two of our four best players missing essentially the whole year

hey Chuck...Hair Club For Men...jus' sayin'

 

[BTTA]

Wish we had drafted a LB early and not late.

Which LB, in which draft spot?

 

[Chuck Walden]

Haha different Chuck Walden!

 

[captain stone]

Why?

 

[captain stone]

Which LB, in which draft spot?

Harold Landry at 31

Lorenzo Carter at 56/63

Genard Avery at 143

 

[Bradyking12]

Why?

You don't remember him in '16?

 

[captain stone]

You don't remember him in '16?

He was just OK in 2016, nothing more.

 

[BTTA]

Harold Landry at 31

Lorenzo Carter at 56/63

Genard Avery at 143

From what I've read, Landry had a 4th round grade that was inflated by a lack of high round caliber edge players in the draft.
