I've been of the opinion that the NE 2TE set is a big reason why Edelman's numbers are down, as there are so many mouths to feed now. However, in the case that one of the TEs are injured and can't play, would you expect increased opportunities for Edelman?
I would think so, but it looks like Bennett is going to play this week from what I've read. I wouldn't give up on him yet, but I get the frustration so if you have a better option maybe go with it, but I don't think I'd cut ties or anything - at least yet.
