Have you?
No. That is why I said the element or surprise would be in our favor.
But since you completely seemed to miss the point I was making, Edelman is not likely to line up on the LOS because teams usually use the larger receiver on the LOS in a bunch package. The main reason is that the larger WR is usually either a better blocker or strong enough to get a better "pick" or "rub". So that is why the Patriots would not love to see edelman lined up on the LOS in a bunch package with a 250 lb DB playing up on him in press coverage.
If Edelman was lined up isolated in space then he would probably love to see a 250 lb DB across from him, but in a bunch package he would not have the empty space to use to his advantage.
Understand the difference now?
