As I said elsewhere - while working through the LaFell signing - I think they're going back to the 3 WR/1 TE offense of 2007.Why do I state the bleedin' obvious? Because it's hard to project giving a TE drafted in the first or second round meaningful snaps when there's so many other offensive targets vying for the same.
I know Moss isn't walking through the door - but we didn't have Gronk back then.
Moss - Dobson
Welker - Edelman
Gaffney - LaFell
Watson - Gronk

Maroney - Ridley
Faulk - Vereen
Not saying it's "as good" or "the same" but I think this is what we should expect, less 2 TE and more 3 WR. We did a lot of that last year too but ran out of WR. We have some depth at WR, KT can back up LaFell, Amendola can back up Edelman.
We don't HAVE to be a 2 TE offense. We were because we had them and O'Brien was a big TE guy, I remember reading that when Josh left. Of course Josh could coach the 2 TE offense but he isn't married to it, it wasn't even his offense.
We need a more viable backup to Gronk than HooMan, though. Someone who can provide a solid block/catch combo if Gronk is out.
