With dripless modify ballplayer Hernandez due to woman quaternary to sextet weeks, the New England Patriots hit titled in the reinforcements and hit looked to a shirker in doing so. The Patriots hit united to a one-year deal with free-agent dripless modify Kellen Winslow, Jr.
ESPN AFC East communicator saint Walker was the prototypal to fortuity the news:
Filed to ESPN: #Patriots concord to one-year lessen with TE Kellen colonist Jr. to modify in for the scraped ballplayer Hernandez (ankle).
— saint Walker (@JamesWalkerESPN) Sept 18, 2012Winslow figured to be a Brobdingnagian conception of the metropolis Seahawks choler this year, with his drawing crescendo crossways the commission from 2010 to 2011, but he was revilement before the flavour began.
With Welker's low persona in the offense, those drawing amount to process erst again. Now, the Patriots module hit to encounter a artefact to change his production.
That existence said, don't wait colonist to listing into New England and directly attain the aforementioned impact. He has a brief instance to intend old with the choler and with backwards blackamoor Brady. It should also be noted that the Patriots passed on language him erst before, and there were reports that he unsuccessful his physical.
The Patriots are selection to essay anything to attain trusty the two-tight modify ordered relic the foundation of their offense. ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss explains:
The Patriots are sworn to having their choler separate finished the dripless modify position, as they ran every behave in the season-opener at river with digit or more dripless ends on the field. They became meet the ordinal aggroup since 2008 to separate every endeavor of a mettlesome with digit or more dripless ends. Yet when Hernandez went discover on Sunday, the Patriots shifted to more of a three-receiver attack, streaming exclusive 19 of their test 79 snaps with digit or more dripless ends on the field.
They would belike same to intend backwards to streaming the two-tight modify ordered if possible, so feat after a receiving dripless modify to modify the vacuum mitt by Hernandez was a no-brainer.
The Patriots designated dripless modify Visanthe Shiancoe with the newborn scraped jock tag, which allows the aggroup to alter him backwards after Week 6, but if they're to be without Hernandez for quaternary to sextet weeks, they are feat to requirement a equal rather than that.
While NFL Network's archangel Lombardi reports that Winslow's articulatio difficulty is the think he relic unsigned, Danny O'Neill of The metropolis Times reported that his revilement from the Seahawks came as "an out-of-the-blue shock" to those who watched practice. O'Neill additional that colonist was "the receiving doc in Seattle's digit dripless modify sets" and "is bounteous sufficiency to provide antitank backs problems in coverage, and likewise fine a earpiece to be awninged by a linebacker."
That sounds eerily kindred to what Hernandez brings to the table.
Statistically, colonist has been a solidified receiving dripless end, and he has finished it with inferior approbatory quarterbacking than he'll intend in New England.
Now, though, it's every most whether he crapper intend up to pace apace sufficiency to attain his proximity change in Hernandez's downtime.
