Wondering what the trickle down effect is when Gronk and Amendola come back. Most specifically how does it affect Edelman, and how does it affect their preference to run 11 and 12 personnel?
And what about James Develin? Will he still be needed? How about Hooman?
There will still likely be a rotation but Amendola’s return has to come at the expense of someone’s snaps, likely Aaron Dobson, though it could be Edelman as well.
In my view the primary personnel becomes:
11 – RB, Gronk, Thompkins, Amendola, Edelman
12 – RB, Gronk, Hooman/Sudfeld, Thompkins, Amendola
The base guys would be Gronk, Thompkins and Amendola and an RB, with the fifth weapon rotating depending on the game plan.
It will be interesting to see how it all plays out in the next few weeks as the games get more important and the opponents get better.
