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.

I’m engaged now, and I have a baby. So, it’s just gonna make me think of life a lot differently and doing things the right way,” Hernandez added. “Now, another one is looking up to me. I can’t just be young and reckless Aaron no more. I’m gonna try to do the right things, become a good father and [her] be raised like I was raised.

NFL.com’s Albert Breer first reported late last month that Gronkowski would be having the surgery at some point in mid-June. Breer said it was unlikely Gronkowski would be back for training camp, but a source tells Rapoport that the All-Pro “could be ready for the season.” The Patriots are holding out hope on that front, adds Rapoport.

It’s been a parade of bad news on the offensive side of the ball this offseason. Maybe this tiny bit of positive speculation can help turn the tide…

I think as an offense we felt like we slipped up, especially at the end of the season, the way the season ended. Going into OTAs, that was our focus,” Vereen said, referring to the AFC Championship Game when the Patriots were held scoreless in the second half. “There is still a lot we need to work on, there are a lot of new faces, it’s still a younger offense, and so we have a lot of jelling to do. But I think we’re on the right track.
