Oh shit, I thought Burkhead was ruled out, this is huge for us.
I'm also thinking that our offense is going to revolve around Gronk+Lewis, with hopefully some hard up the gut runs from Burkhead here and there. This defense can be exploited, but like I've said soooo many times, we need to protect Tom, and we need to focus on plays that allow for quick and small gains if necessary. Let our guys make the extra effort of picking up yards after the catch, or after contact. I do not want Brady trying to spend an extra 2-3 seconds in the pocket, so he can turn a 5 yard pass, into a 10 yard pass, unless absolutely necessary. Our line hasn't been atrocious this year, but we haven't played anyone even close to the Jags defensively since wk 1, when we got murdered by KC.
I am curious to see if they bring Ramsey down to try and cover up Gronk 1v1. If anyone can do it, it would be that absolute freak of nature. Ofc this would give our other guys higher chances at success, but I am curious to see how they plan to cover our monster.
this was the last i've heard on Burk (2 days ago):

The Patriots could be getting even stronger offensively for the AFC championship.
According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, running back Rex Burkhead, who has missed the last three games with a knee injury, is expected to play Sunday against the Jaguars. Burkhead began practicing during the Patriots' bye week and spoke during the week before the Titans game, so it seemed like he would return, but he was inactive.
not 100% he plays but I bet he will be active by game day
