Spoot-Face Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I assume you mean Julian Edelman. Nice, but inconsequential. Pats will still dominate without him, sadly. Losing Gronk would be worse for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I'm telling you right now, Edelman out makes that game in December much easier! Especially if we have Pryor back & Ivorys 100% not the tweaked RB he was in the 1st game. Allows you to double Gronk. A game that most of you had circled as a loss might not be.

joewilly12 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Julian Edelman will have surgery to repair the broken bone in his foot Monday. Schefter reports there is hope Edelman will return this season. FOX Sports' Mike Garafolo reported Edelman's injury is a "true Jones fracture," which is the same injury which cost Dez Bryant six weeks earlier this season. The injury will almost certainly keep Edelman out for the remainder of the regular season, but he has a shot to return during the playoffs. Danny Amendola should take on a much bigger role in the offense with Edelman sidelined and needs to be added in all formats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetster Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Edelman is a player that has incredible start & stop ability, what people call "break your ankle" moves. It will not be easy to just come back after not using your ankle & cut on it like this guy does. This is a bad injury for the way this guy plays in the slot & makes all of those herky jerky cuts. His biggest asset are his quick feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetster Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Of course as long as Brady is still slinging it, it's never easy to beat the Pats. We need to cut off the head (Brady) of that team when we play them. Would love to see what Garrapolos got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFCEastFan Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I think I've said it before, but the only three truly indispensable players on the Patriots are Brady, Gronk and Butler. Anyone else they can ride without for quite awhile without affecting the W/L totals much. And Patriots slot receiver is arguably the most fungible offensive position in the entire NFL. Of course, at some point, the sheer volume of injuries can be catastrophic. But I don't think the Patriots are quite there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike135 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Many think Gronk is more important to their offense, but I don't. Edelman is only second to Brady. Defenses have to scheme completely differently for NE because they get the ball out so freakin fast. The majority of that is Edelman (and Brady's familiarity with him). Also account for what has been their 3rd best option in Dion Lewis being out... their offense will be MUCH different moving forward. Almost pedestrian. They won't be able to successfully fling it around as quickly. Which will then expose that Oline for what it is. (Not very good.) And Brady will begin taking hits. Gronk is Gronk. He'll get his and probably a bit more now with Edelman out. Amandola and LaFell are decent too. But come week 16, we'll be facing a much different offense. And a team that will probably have a couple losses as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gronk is both their best receiver and (with Vollmer out), their best offensive lineman. And the drop-off from Edelman to Amendola is relatively small compared to the drop-off between Gronk and Chandler. Amendola caught 10 balls today in Edelman's absence, and I have no doubt he will catch 8-12 balls per game from the slot so long as Edelman continues to be on the shelf.

No doubt that the drop-off from Gronk to Chandler is bigger than Edelman to Amendola. But I guess where we disagree is that I think the most important factor in that offense is a quick/shifty/smart/reliable WR. Amendola can probably play that role OK. Especially vs a D like the Giants have. But he's no where near Edelman and will struggle playing that role vs decent Ds. Gronk is their big strike weapon. However, that has been setup by Edelman and the quick passing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetster Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Amendola is made of glass. When they play a decent defense (let's not forget the Giants are like the 32nd ranked defense in the league!). Little Danny will be the next one going down & it might happen this week when Bacari Rambo gets a couple of shots at him. I hate to say this because we're fighting the Bill for the last wildcard spot but the Pats are ripe now with all those injuries. Bills are healthy, McCoy & Williams WILL be able to run on that team, Rex will double Gronk, Mario Williams won't be sick, Dareus will push the pocket vs all those scrubs. I'm calling upset next week, Bills are feeling good & confident. We'll have to win all our games but most importantly the last game in Buffalo might be for a wildcard.

He should definitely see an up-tick but doubt anything like Edelman. At least this shouod mean some extra targets for Gronk (who I also have). WR replacement though, Michael Floyd here. Had him in the W/T spot and he blew up last night. Sure enough though... goes out with an injury later in the game. Absolute crap luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edelman is more valuable than DionLewis, but is easier to replace with Amendola. It hurts and will slow their offense down a little bit, but there more pressing need is still the OL.
