[Julian] Edelman is going to be Zach Miller Jersey a free agent in the off-season. Is there any chance that they bring him back? Also if they bring Edelman back, would [Danny] Amendola be a potential cut? Zach StrongFirst off, of course there’s a chance the Patriots re-sign Edelman, their best wide receiver this past season. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if they ensure this by designating him their franchise player. Even if they don’t, there’s still a chance that he and the Patriots work out a deal that’s agreeable to both sides. However, after the season he’s had, other teams might be tempted to throw larger sums at Edelman, which might prove too lucrative to turn down. Secondly, Amendola isn’t going anywhere, regardless of where Edelman signs in 2014. He was brought here last offseason on a multi-year, 12th Fan Jersey multi-million dollar pact, and has done nothing to shake the club’s confidence in his abilities. Sure, he’s played injured for the entire year (groin issues), but that may have been more of a testament to his toughness, rather than a detriment. Amendola has been sure-handed and reliable, which is all you can ask of a receiver in this league. He’ll be around for the foreseeable future. Erik ScalavinoOK, one time is a fluke, but twice in a row? [LeGarrette] Blount has run rampant over opposing defenses the last two games.
I know it is a mix of offensive line opening holes and good recognition and timing from the running back to see the holes and get through them. Blount has been on the team the whole season. Why Sidney Rice Jersey is he just starting to peak now (which is perfect timing!!! )#)? Why didn't we see some of his "running rampant" earlier in the season? Sam SpammerThose of us who pay close attention to this team certainly did see Blount’s “running rampant” immediately. Allow me to take you back to the preseason opener at Philadelphia, where Blount plowed through the Eagles secondary: 11 carries, 101 yards, two TDs, including a 51-yard scoring jaunt in which he outraced the entire Philly defense. And certainly, Blount’s 1, 000-yard rookie campaign as a Tampa Bay Buc a few years ago gave us an early indication of his abilities at this level. Blount’s performances in recent games came as no surprise to me. He’s been getting more opportunities of late at the expense of Stevan Russell Okung Jersey Ridley, who still might be the most gifted of the team’s ball carriers, despite his fumbling propensity. Ridley was the main back earlier this season, but when he struggled with lost fumbles midseason, Blount stepped in and made the most of his chance. He’s due to become a free agent once the season ends, so, it will be interesting to see how the Patriots address his situation. Erik Scalavino Hi, guys. It's been an amazing year and one in which both [Tom] Brady and [Bill] Belichick's all-time greatness was never more in evidence; and, I love what the Pats are currently doing in lining up in power formations, telling the opponent they're going to run, and then running the rock down the defense's throat.
However, I do have K.J. Wright Jersey one very big concern for next week, and (hopefully) for early February: The Pats have no outside threat. As terrific as Edelman is, apart from the occasional play, he (and Amendola) work inside the numbers. (The rookies have been awful to non-existent apart from the Saints and Steelers game). What happens if the Pats fall behind by two scores and have to pass? With no outside threat, they are totally defensible in that situation. Tony D. How badly hurt are the guys on IR? Would any of the earlier ones (like Jerod Mayo or Tommy Kelly) have been candidates for the short-term IR had we not used the tag on [Shane] Vereen, or were they all season ending injuries? Paul DymondImpossible to say for certain, Paul, given how jealously the Patriots Golden Tate Jersey guard their injury secrets around here. I suppose it’s possible that some other player, besides Vereen, could have been a candidate for the short-term IR, but he was definitely deserving of the designation, and the rules only allow one such player per team per season. No sense playing the “what if” game at this point. Erik ScalavinoI understand and appreciate your concern, Tony. Best answer I can give you is this: they were down 24 to Denver two months ago and rallied to win in overtime. And they didn’t have any “outside threat” then either. It can be done, but I agree that in the playoffs, it’s much, much more difficult to expect a double-digit comeback. Erik Scalavino.
