The debate comes back constantly about the New England Patriots. Can they win without betting on a receiver as Randy Moss, Julio Jones or Marvin Harrison?
Yet Bill Belichick’s troupe raised the Vince-Lombardi Trophy on five occasions with this special recipe. He coached for Tom Brady for three seasons, from 2007 to 2009, but the Patriots did not win the championship during that period.
On the other hand, they earned top honors at the end of the 2001, 2003, 2004, 2014 and 2016 seasons with receivers such as Troy Brown, Deion Branch and Julian Edelman.
Once again, in 2018, the Patriots raised doubts among many observers since Brady was not surrounded by the most menacing weapons. Not to mention that fabulous tight end Rob Gronkowski has slowed down quite a bit due to injuries.
The receivers of the Patriots cannot ruin this chorus and they responded by accessing another time the Super Bowl.
In what way, with spectacular and crucial catches from Edelman, Gronkowski and Chris Hogan against the Kansas City Chiefs.
“We practice these situations throughout the year, it ends up becoming less stressful in the heat of the moment. This is the reason behind our success in these contexts,” Hogan said.
“We know that in our group, we think about winning and winning only. We do not care about statistics, we want to do our job well. We do not bet on big names, but we do great things for our team,” Hogan added.

On Wednesday morning, analyst and former quarterback Kurt Warner was keen to rectify this perception of receivers in the Belichick formation.
“They have not always acquired the greatest talents, but rather the best players to mold themselves into their system.” Warner said.
“Many people say that Tom has not played with the best receivers, but I would be ready to reply. Wes Welker, Julian Edelman, Moss and Gronk, these athletes played at a Hall of Fame level within this system.
“We have experience within this offensive vision, we know how to execute the details. We have to know how to react so that it clicks with Tom, we have to determine how Tom will see a specific action.” Warner added.
