With Smith and Henry on board, it makes tons of sense they targeted complimentary WRs like Agholor and Bourne. The offense is going to run through the TEs.
And the running game. If we re-sign Andrews, that line will have 5 maulers plus two good blocking TEs.With Smith and Henry on board, it makes tons of sense they targeted complimentary WRs like Agholor and Bourne. The offense is going to run through the TEs.
Post of the year.The last time I have seen something like this is when Thanos got the last Infinity Stone. Surreal.
I was thinking more the national talking heads (some of whom had when I typed that). Boston sports radio folks are just not redeemable in any wayYou think Felger and Mazz will concede that? Have you ever listened to sports talk radio before?
Belichick just ripped the mind stone right out of Goodells head. Roger is now a pasty white corpse.The last time I have seen something like this is when Thanos got the last Infinity Stone. Surreal.
Paying Watson his current salary would've precluded 2-3 of these signings. They either need Cam or a rookie QB on a reasonable deal. They are not trading for an established QB at this point.At this point you just trade the entire draft for Watson right? Maybe next year's too? They feel like they're a QB away from serious contenders.
i mean, maybe?They can't be doing all of this and then roll with Cam Newton at QB, right? Right?
Mr. Mahomes, I don't feel so good...The last time I have seen something like this is when Thanos got the last Infinity Stone. Surreal.
Going to have to get past the Falcons at 4 to do that I think.i mean, maybe?
I think they trade up for Lance, but Cam is starter with Lance getting some snaps too
I think that's the plan. Lean heavy into the new rosters strengths. Big formations, runs, play actions up the seam to TEs and over the head to Agholor, lots of big redzone targets for Cams wobbly throws.They can't be doing all of this and then roll with Cam Newton at QB, right? Right?
Has to be the play, no? Offer whatever, and if that fails, move up and grab one of the QBs in the draft?At this point you just trade the entire draft for Watson right? Maybe next year's too? They feel like they're a QB away from serious contenders.
How high do they have to get to get Lance? 4 or 5?i mean, maybe?

I think you need to get to 3. I'd wager on the Falcons taking him at 4.How high do they have to get to get Lance? 4 or 5?
Cam's pretty well suited to what the team is going to be -- a big physical run heavy offense with a big tough defense. two tight ends, huge o-line, some FB-H-back types in vitale and keene--it's what you'd do on offense with either a QB who can run or a QB who is young and who you don't want to rely on.They can't be doing all of this and then roll with Cam Newton at QB, right? Right?
This precisely where he will go. Can't wait to hear it, haha.I haven't listened to Felger in years but I imagine at this point he'll use all of this to bolster his "the cap is crap" bullshit, wonder why they don't do this every year, and then speculate that BB and Kraft are only doing this because it pissed them off that Brady won without them last year.
My dad had a second cousin named Henry Smith. So there's that. Probably not as much fun for the rest of you.Is there any combination of Smith and Henry that's as fun to say as Gronknandez used to be? The lack of syllables really hurts the Pats' flexibility in this department.
If you take the nickname for Henry, Hank, you can add it to Smith to get Smank.My dad had a second cousin named Henry Smith. So there's that. Probably not as much fun for the rest of you.
No excuses for Cam this year. At least go get a rookie QB who we can dream on while Cam is bouncing passes to our expensive free agent toys.Cam's pretty well suited to what the team is going to be -- a big physical run heavy offense with a big tough defense. two tight ends, huge o-line, some FB-H-back types in vitale and keene--it's what you'd do on offense with either a QB who can run or a QB who is young and who you don't want to rely on.
Maybe we go first name merge with Hunnu.If you take the nickname for Henry, Hank, you can add it to Smith to get Smank.
Trouble is, neither one's Finnish.Maybe we go first name merge with Hunnu.
It's OK to let the Cam hate go for one day.No excuses for Cam this year. At least go get a rookie QB who we can dream on while Cam is bouncing passes to our expensive free agent toys.

Within seconds Murray already tweeted "still need a QB". Predictable and tired.You think Felger and Mazz will concede that? Have you ever listened to sports talk radio before?
BB invested heavily in TE early on in his tenure too. Daniel Graham was a 1st rounder in 2002, Benjamin Watson in the 1st round in 2004 and David Thomas in the 3rd round in 2006.Since the Hernandez/Gronk heyday (and to a lesser extent Gronk/Bennett), I have been wondering what BB’s next innovation would be. I guess it’s a return to the two TEs but with a more mobile quarterback? Makes one wonder what effect the Lamar Jackson Ravens’ offensive explosion from 2019 might have had on his thinking.
This was exactly my thought. Mobile QB, some complete TEs, good RBs and a deep threat just opens the offense to do anything. Of course the throws have to be on target but hey... we’ll worry about that laterSince the Hernandez/Gronk heyday (and to a lesser extent Gronk/Bennett), I have been wondering what BB’s next innovation would be.

They have to be after Lance or Jones now right?This was exactly my thought. Mobile QB, some complete TEs, good RBs and a deep threat just opens the offense to do anything. Of course the throws have to be on target but hey... we’ll worry about that later
Jank UIf you take the nickname for Henry, Hank, you can add it to Smith to get Smank.
Didn't the Pats roll out a 3-TE set against Miami a few seasons back?Since the Hernandez/Gronk heyday (and to a lesser extent Gronk/Bennett), I have been wondering what BB’s next innovation would be.

I think they had a 4 TE setup a couple times around the goal line. Gronk, Allen, ??, ??. Or maybe it was when Bennett was there? And that TE from Indy who ended up doing nothing. . . Scott Chandler.Didn't the Pats roll out a 3-TE set against Miami a few seasons back?
Can you even field 4 TEs on one play?
To borrow one of my favorite song titles, is this heaven or Las Vegas?
Tampa ring leads to tamperingMan Bill must really be pissed about Brady winning.
Nah, he just saw that the team sucked and that he had a unique opportunity (namely that very few teams had cap space when he had a huge amount of cap space and that any contracts given out this year will seem like relative bargains in a year or two as the cap rises).Man Bill must really be pissed about Brady winning.
Or just call them Hammer and HankIf you take the nickname for Henry, Hank, you can add it to Smith to get Smank.
