On the bright side, at least that means TJ Ward won't be torpedoing his knee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicting a big game from Sweet Feet tonight. TJ Ward listed as Doubtful. For the sake of injuries, I'm really hoping he's ruled out. Assuming Gronk plays which is an unknown, the Pats should have no problems moving the ball. This game will come down to turnovers, penalties and how many total meltdowns the Pats have on D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Bill would let something through the net every so often. We should know why one of our best players of last season is a healthy scratch.

He's had issues with conditioning and work ethic before so it wouldn't be shocking if that were the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might get a few catches but he's not an impact guy. He's like post-injury Martellus Bennett last year. Solid, if sometimes inconsistent, blocker who can catch a few short passes and might get loose down the seam once or twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just mean step in and be an averagely productive starting TE. 3/4 catches for 30/40 yards or similar. With White/Cooks/Amendola/Hogan on the field, he should be able to find a couple of soft spots in the zones or get open down the seam. If he and Brady can't connect a couple of times, that would be a sign that’ll he’ll just never “get it”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmurtry86 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 With how soft the Tampa Bay pass D is, I'd be inclined to use Allen as a blocker, spread the field and let the WR's and Lewis/White get the targets. Give Brady as much time as possible and he'll carve up the Bucs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
