Would it really be so bad if we had mcknight out there and tried a bubble/WR screen to him? Can he not be a "slot decoy" who also has the speed to get over the top if they put a LB on him?
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?
