How to Improve New England Patriots Pass Attack: Field Stretcher vs. Deep Threat | Bleacher Report

Hard to ignore the numbers of where the Patriots like to throw the ball, and how they sputter when teams are able to take that area of the field away.

And how about those numbers behind the LOS?! Why isn’t anyone talking about a field shortener to help those numbers out?

Aside from all the things we’ll be told the Patriots need to do this off-season or players that they should pursue, the simple fact is that with Josh McDaniels back in the fold the Patriots offense will evolve in 2012.

No one can say how exactly, but McDaniels is a creative mind, and he knows that the book is out on this latest Patriots offensive incarnation. There are a lot of pieces to play with, especially with two tight ends who can line up anywhere and do anything.

I expect objective one after bringing back Welker is to upgrade Branch. I like the Brandon Lloyd fit, but as always there are a lot of moving pieces there that would need to come together.
