Patriots Thoughts

The Patriots should try having Rob Gronkowski line up in the backfield as a way to get him more touches in the offense. It would be a look the Dolphins aren't prepared for and it would allow the offense to get the ball in Gronk's hands on pitches, screens and even hand-offs. You could also have Gronk go in motion to create miss-matches that way too. Worth a try.

Of the nine players taken in the last draft - six of them are injured including their top pick Isaiah Wynn who is out for the season with a torn Achilles. You can't plan for that.

If New England loses Sunday they would fall three full games behind Miami in the standings. Couple that with the fact that my girlfriend is a Dolphins fan and this game is pretty much a MUST win for the Pats Sunday. Oh and I also think they will cover the -6.5 points.

Go Pats!
