I just think a tight end is involved in a lot of plays. He’s involved in the running game. He’s involved in the passing game because he’s in the middle of the field. He’s involved in pass protection. There’s really no way, there really aren’t hardly any plays where that guy is out of the play. He’s a central guy in pretty much whatever you want to do. And the more versatile he is, the more things he can do, then defensively the harder he is to defend. If you have to defend a guy in the passing game, then that’s an issue. You have to worry about them running behind him, that’s an issue. You have to worry about his speed, that’s an issue. You have to worry about him breaking tackles and catching short passes and turning them into long plays. The more versatile any player is, the more valuable they are. At that position in the middle of the field – with skill players are involved in every play, they give you more options.

Quite a good win by our players. Those guys did a really good job. We did a good job running the ball offensively, did a decent job stopping the run defensively, made some big plays, turned the ball over and had good field position, so it was a good team win. All three units contributed. We had a lot of guys step up and if we can play that way we will be alright but it was good to see everyone contribute and all the units do a good job for us. It’s nice to get off to a good start but we have got a long way to go.

The Patriots are 123-37 over the past decade, an almost unfathomable run of excellent in an era of free agency and relative parity. One-twenty-three and thirty-seven! And yet Belichick gets relentlessly second-guessed in the comments sections and mailbags by some of the couch-bound general managers among us as if he’s football’s version of Isiah Thomas or something. Before the 2010 draft, the consensus yelp was that the Patriots didn’t have any tight ends. Enter Gronk and Hernandez. Two-plus years later, now the yelp is that he’s accumulating too many tight ends at the expense of receivers. I happen to appreciate a coach/personnel boss who makes every decision based on who fits and who belongs, not on name recognition and past accomplishment. Please, let it play out – chances are it’s all going to be better than OK.
