10 Biggest Questions Facing the 2013 Patriots
For those looking for some football reading on this offseason Friday.
Good news, and glad to see that everyone is signed up and ready to go. So much better than the days of rookie contract holdouts well into training camp.
The Patriots have signed WR Aaron Dobson.

Thanks, I’m trying to reserve comment and judgement. This blog is mostly dedicated to what happens on the field, and of course if Hernandez is unavailable going forward we’ll have to plenty to say on that. But ultimately this whole situation(s) is just really sad. Not many of us have the God-given physical talents that someone like Aaron has, and I sincerely hope he has not thrown it all away on something stupid. We’ll see how everything plays out over the next couple days, until then there won’t be much to say until it affects the 2013 Patriots team.
Who says the Patriots need to start two wideouts or use two wideouts on the majority of their offensive snaps? If anyone’s willing to be proactive and shift the style of their offense in midstream, it’s New England. And after their success running the ball with Stevan Ridley last year, it’s possible that the Patriots could move to an offense that uses two running backs and two tight ends as its base set, with Amendola as the only “wideout,” but with Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez serving as wideout-like weapons downfield. They’re also very deep at tight end, with the likes of Jake Ballard, Daniel Fells, and Michael Hoomanawanui all possible contributors if they make the roster. As always with the Patriots and their offensive wrinkles, stay tuned.

Thinking beyond just the statistical metrics, Vereen is an intriguing player for the Patriots offense, a unit that has undergone some turnover this offseason. He flashed at times during his second season, particularly as a pass-catcher with exceptional run-after-catch ability. Perhaps the biggest question entering the 2013 season is how the Patriots’ passing attack will adapt with Wes Welker and Brandon Lloyd gone and Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez coming back from offseason surgeries.
