The Pats really seem to be changing their offensive focus to more of a Tight end scheme anyways, but pulling out a guy that gets double coverage every game will put more pressure on the rest of the guys.
I think they plan on using the run a bit more with Greenellis, and those two rookie tight ends that they have are both pretty talented kids. They still have Welker who is a great slot receiver too. Given that the teams they have to beat all feature big time pass rushes these days, these quick dump off routes tend to be the way to beat the blitz and keep your QB from getting killed.

Also keep in mind that they have the Raiders first plus their own first this year and just acquired an additional third. It is possible that they'll use some of this ammo to go after Vincent Jackson who's pretty much a younger and less outspoken slightly downgraded version of Moss.
