New England Patriots 2012 Offense Is Drastically Different from 2011 Version | Bleacher Report
Understated, but the Patriots are different this year on offense. I know because it’s Brady and Belichick that no one really cares who else is out there, but sometimes offenses with a lot of new parts take a little time to gel, especially when you get lose the focal point of it two plays into a game.

It Is What It Is » In Focus: What Kellen Winslow’s addition means for Patriots’ offense
Winslow’s body type (6-foot-4, 240 pounds) is more along the lines of the longer, leaner Hernandez (6-foot-1, 245 pounds). As evidenced by his career receiving numbers, the University of Miami product is more of a pass catcher than blocker, and if he’s healthy (there are questions about the health of his knees), he can provide the sort of support in the passing game that Hoomanawanui and Fells might not be able to offer. While he doesn’t have the same sort of positional versatility that Hernandez does — and it should take him some time to get up to speed in the passing game — Winslow should take a sizable portion of the snaps that Hernandez received in the New England offense.
