It Is What It Is Countdown to Camp: Running Backs

Now this is an area that I don't think anyone could be concerned about.

Seriously, have they ever had this much depth/talent in the backfield? Lawfirm will probably be the odd man out. This is one year where I wont worry about injuries, unless they all go down

lets hope not.

I agree nashville Maroney needs to go.

Must think LawFirm is Maroney.

Nice rundown, Chris, though I take issue with one thing. I don't think that LoMo is a "traditional between-the-tackles runner" -- he's a beast in a broken field or on the outside who can run people over but he doesn't torpedo through chinks for an extra half-yard.

.............and is a regular on the new hit reality show, "Dancing in the Backfield"

.

I do like LoMo. IF he can stay healthy and play close to the way he preformed at the tail-end of the 07 season & playoffs, Pats are in great shape.

He was getting better at that, I still believe he was working at somewhat of a disadvantage because his presence in the backfield telegraphed run plays and more than the others he had to dodge defenders in the backfield. Hopefully his extended rehab gave him more time with the Juggs machine so he can be used in more passing plays to disrupt the defense.

Interesting that you raise this about telegraphing runs being a disadvantage, but stay silent over telegraphing when we pass the ball.
