Patriots changes by position: Wide Receiver
Pats Pulpit — ... of 2007 until teams got film on them.  Looking at their production from first to second half, things tapered off through no fault of their own; there was simply more available information for oppositions to look at and teams worked hard to shut them down.  Donte Stallworth was an option, but he never panned out, in my opinion.  Jabar Gaffney filled the role as #3/#4 when needed, but it wasn't enough of a difference.  In comes Joey Galloway and Greg Lewis.  With that in mind, let's walk through the ...

Much like the Wilfork situation, Leon Washington is a "must sign".  John B is right about his value to the team; he's a super running back and deserves his payday. Thanks to John B for his perspective on the Leon Washington situation.  Check out Gang Green Nation where I talk about Tom Brady's newest toy, Greg Lewis.

The Phinsider — ... On the WR front, defenses know enough to neutralize Moss and Welker so it's important to have a third and sometimes fourth look for Brady.  I have my doubts about Joey Galloway given his age (38), but he may be able to stretch the field and, at the very least, provide a decoy for Moss.  Greg Lewis seems like a fine addition specifically for mid-field duties, ie: turning into the linebackers.  ...

Top 5 New England Patriots Offseason moves
Pats Pulpit — ... Yes, he's 38 and yes, he's most likely lost a few steps, but shouldn't we trust Hoodie?  I know he's proven to me, time and time again, that he's smarter than I am.  I'm big on Joey Galloway, but not for the possible numbers he'll put up; I think that's in the past for this receiver.  Joey's role will be to stretch the field.  Put Randy Moss, Wes Welker, and Joey Galloway on the field and defenses will go into convulsions. Number 4 - WR Greg Lewis For much the same reasons that I like Galloway Greg Lewis ...

Around the AFC East, Week 5: New England Patriots
Buffalo Rumblings — ... The most interesting prospect to me is Greg "Glew" Lewis.  We know Welker will work the underneath and slant routes, but we've always lacked a mid-field receiver - someone who could turn into the linebackers and grab passes.  Moss tried those routes in 2008 and was an abysmal failure.  Physically, he can't pull it off.  I believe Greg Lewis is that receiver.  He can work a slant route, but is taller than Welker, so my guess is he'll be able to work the mid-field better than a Welker or a Moss.  PFW's Andy Hart proposed a three ...

Pats Pulpit — ... history. This was due in large part to our revamped wide receiver corps, headlined by the acquisitions of Randy Moss and Wes Welker. Donte Stallworth was essentially a one-year rental and was gone after that season, and after 2008, we lost Jabar Gaffney when he departed to the Denver Broncos with former offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. To fill the void left by their departures, we traded a 2009 fifth rounder to the Philadelphia Eagles for Greg Lewis and drafted wide receiver Brandon Tate in the third ...

Aaron Rodgers vs. Brett Favre
Acme Packing Company — ... Favre's 566 yards passing is 25th overall this season, right behind QB Byron Leftwich, because the Vikings offense has done a lot to reign him in. He's been throwing a lot of short passes this season, when he's not throwing a game winning bomb to WR Greg Lewis in the back of the end zone. So it's shocking to see he only has 1 INT so far, and is only on pace to throw about 5 or 6 INTs for the season. Another very un-Favre like stat are the 9 sacks. He's been exceptional at avoiding them throughout his career, he only had 15 sacks in his final season in Green ...

Two things that did change from last week were Clements' efficiency getting worse, and, more drastically, the secondary's efficiency against #3 WRs getting much, much better.
