MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Well think about it for a minute. If Davis couldn't help the BROWNS, how much could he help the Pats? It's not like Crennel is a moron or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Crennel hasn't coached much offense. 414333[/snapback] And the #3 overall pick has to be in the line-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scribo Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Davis certainly has some wheels. Good thing he often has at least one flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like Crennel is a moron or anything. 414323[/snapback] Thats how thin or desperate the Pats are at wideout. They cut then resigned Troy Brown (34 years old), David Givins was their top wr last season and only had 56 catches and lastly the signed Tim Dwight as a free agent. Not a real scary wide reciver group if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Chipper Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I remember watching the draft last year when the Pats selected Watson and all I could picture was Brady dumping the ball to him for 7 or 8 yards when ever he wanted to. That scares me alot more than the receivers who line up wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great strategy in the small passing game they play that functions on reliability, and it's also been hugely important to the success of their QB who is hardly a model of accuracy among NFL starters. The difference has been that his WRs go out and make plays on almost any ball, feeding the realization of "team" perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevbeau Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I actually think the Pats are solid at WR. In no particular order: Branch Terrell Johnson Givens Davis Brown Dwight No superstars, but they're pretty solid up and down the list. I don't think they'll be keeping 7 wr's so expect someone to be cut...and I have a bad feeling that Terrell is going to turn his career around in New England.

BuffBills#1 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I don't know why we didn't pick him up for a 5th. We don't know how long Parish is going to be out, and Moulds hurt his ribs on Saturday. He would've been a nice insurance basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a 5th round pick for Davis is pretty reasonable, but it's a bit surprising considering the depth at the position mentioned above. I'm just guessing they don't think they can count on those injured guys to make the opener, and they are a matchup driven offense to take advantage of Brady's best strength - find the matchup, make the quick decision and accurate throw. Dwight plays really hard and had a great game the other night, but I've been thinking he was a longshot to make the team all along. He's not what they need in the passing game as long as Brown is healthy, and they have been acquiring a lot of potential kick and/or punt returners this offseason (Morton, Starks, draft pick Ellis Hobbs). I think they'll have five WR on Opening Day - Givens, Branch, Davis, Brown, and Terrell. Johnson will be around because he's still on the PUP list.

AKC your making us look bad. Tom Brady might be a raging homosexual but his is a great QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKC Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 414753[/snapback] Yeah, it's a real Dan Pastorini Offense you're running up there. Hell, I can toss 15 yard balls on the numbers when there's no pressure. At the same time I've seen loafer-boy in the instances when the scheme broke down and he faced the same pressure others QBs play with all the time- and he's looked a lot more like Rick Mirer than a solid NFL starter. His WRs bail him out regularly and that's a huge plus for the Pats. BTW-We're all looking forward to seing him without Jabba Da Hut running the offense ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Donahoe Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Again, have fun living in the past. Brady's become one of the most accurate deep passers in the league over the past couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
