Josh McDaniels Not Worried About Josh Gordon
6 years agoNew England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels doesn't think there will be issues with wide receiver Josh Gordon learning the offense after being acquired via trade last week. "I'm not worried at all about Josh's ability to pick up our system," McDaniels told reporters. "He's already demonstrated an ability to do that. I think he'll be fine and the guys we have are doing the same thing." Quarterback Tom Brady is also confident that Gordon can pick up the system after being inactive in Week 3 with a hamstring injury. New England's passing currently ranks 26th in the NFL, averaging 202.3 yards per game, so they can certainly use Gordon's help. Until we see what kind of role Gordon has in his first action with the Pats, he'll be a boom-or-bust WR3 option when he's active. The impending return of Julian Edelman from suspension in Week 5 will further complicate matters. Regardless, Gordon's upside is tangible and he should make a big impact on offense before long.
