Bottom line, good times (see pats and edelman/woodhead) find a way to play to their players strengths. We have instead kept mcknight on the bench for 3 years....
NE's little guys - Welker, Woodhead and Edelman - are all shake and bake athletes. Quick and elusive. Not McKnight's style. He may have more God given talent but they are all better than him - it's called effort and desire maybe.
Next: Maybe Harris can play TE?
