Patriots Considering Lining up Brandon LaFell as TE in Hernandez Role

[kls11310]

when oh weee mayne pulls a ochocinco with the pats this year i might giggle a lil, not because i like to kick people when they're down, but because he ran that flapper a couple times this offseason with those subtle jabs at the panthers...

I hope they like ill timed drops and tips that end up INTs because then they'll really like Brandon LaFell up there in New England.

 

edit: damn auto-correct

 

I greatly look forward to Brady going absolutely ballistic on national primetime TV when LaFell has a wide open drop on a crucial 3rd down.  It's gonna happen.  All Panthers fans already know it.

[GoDaddyGo]

HA. They are already realizing he sucks as a WR and looking for anywhere for him to make the team.

I told you fuggn guys on here!!!!! The damn man should be a damn TE. All he can do is block. The man has brick hands.

LaFell blocking Kraken or CJ? Lol

I don't think that is what would be implied....

Go back and watch LaFell'a few end around runs in Carolina. Huge gains. There were some games when Hernandez carried the ball a lot.

LaFell ain't got great vertical speed. He has some wiggle as a runner though

[Growl]

Makes sense. doesnt have the explosiveness to play outside.

[nosuchthingasapanther]

it's easy to poke fun at the idea, but don't be surprised if belichick squeezes 1k+ yards and half a dozen tds out of lafell.

Play the Hernandez role? So they're considering having him kill people for spilling drinks on him in a club?

He's not all pro but he is a Versatile player, he should play decent with the pats.

Lafell has versatility written all over him. And people laughed when he got that tattoo.

[Razeyfingers]

I dont know how he is going to play that role, he's not nearly big enough. Look at how big Olsen is in comparison and he is considered small. This is ridiculous Boston fluff.

^ Actually Hernandez was only 6'1.  He did have about 30 pounds on Brandon so if he puts on a couple lbs I could see it.

[IGSaint]

He's gonna have like 900 yards and 8 TDs and this board will melt down.

 

Good for him if he does. He had 700+ yards here. I don't think 900 yards is out of the question depending on how they use him. He will have to get better at those drops though.

Guess his evaluation at WR isn't very good
