i understand that the pats will do whatever the gameplan calls for, but what has been your understanding of tim wright thus far? can they do some of that ol’ 2 TE magic with him or is he just not that guy? I just want to know what he brings to the offense. I doubt we’ll see much more of him against the colts, but should the pats make it past the colts, will Wright be their ace in the hole, their best kept secret heading into the super bowl?

Wright is the “F” tight end on the roster, which is the position that Aaron Hernandez played. Some call it the “move” tight end. I think Wright certainly has a package of plays where he comes on, but generally speaking the offense leans a little more toward Danny Amendola as the fourth receiving option (after Edelman/LaFell/Gronk with a running back) than Wright.

I don’t want to totally rule him out but I don’t think there’s any reason to think he’s suddenly going to be the secret weapon this week. I’m sure he’ll get some snaps, especially closer to the red zone and could even pick up a touchdown, but for the regular offense his role is minimal.

Next year we could see him blossom though. We have to remember he had to learn a very complex Patriots offense on the fly and never got any time in training camp. So there’s an element of the learning curve there as well.
