Pats will struggle without Hernandez

In Sunday's loss to Arizona the Patriots loss their most important weapon on offense, Aaron Hernandez, after he suffered an ankle injury early in the first quarter. His injury appears to be a high ankle sprain which means he'll likely be out for at least one month. As we witnessed yezterday, this offense struggles without Hernandez. His ability to line up anywhere on the field makes him a nightmare for opposing defenses. He lines up in the backfield, in the slot, out wide, and next to the tackle as a tight end. He has become Brady's go to guy and with him on the shelf it's likely Welker is going to see more passes. The Pats are at Baltimore this Sunday and as always the Ravens have a solid defense lead by future Hall of Famer Ray Lewis. After seeing how Brady and the offense struggled against the Cardinals defense it's going to be more difficult to move the ball against a very tough and physical Ravens defense.
