A couple of questions.

First, anyone have any idea on the health of Fred Taylor and Sammy Morris? I know that Taylor had surgery, but wasn't supposed to miss the rest of the season. I can't seem to find any info on him at this point.

Second, Edgerrin James just got released by Seattle. Might he be a good fit here?

If the injuries to Morris and Taylor are going to be longer term do you think he might be worth a shot?

I don't think he has much left, if anything. Even if Morris & Taylor are out for a long time, the running game should be fine. Maroney, Faulk, and Green-Ellis are all good backs and can get the job done. The Pats should be able to get by with just an adequate running game if Brady continues to play as well as he has recently. I don't foresee James coming to NE.

According to most people on this forum you can pick-up a decent running back with just a half-hour's scouting in the Commons after dark. No need to sign anyone until another injury comes up.

Edge fits BB's mold, proven player Get him to fill a need, a team guy. As a colts fan I would hope that I never have to see Edge in the Pats gear but as an Edge fan I would love to see him back in the league.

If Taylor and Morris are expected back, which it appears they are, we have no need for Edge. If one can't make it back I wouldn't be against bringing him in for cheap.

When Morris an Taylor come back, they'll be playing with a more potent offense than the one they left. If either one gets IR'd we're going to have issues. If Edge got released by Seattle, doesn't that say something about his skills?

Bill was talking this week about how long guys play and he said that it's always an individual formula based on lots of things but some guys just hit a wall at 30 and it's over. I think Edge is one of those guys, just like Dillon was. Not that they don't try to do everything to remain productive, they just can't...

If there was a RB out there that fit in better than Green-Ellis, he'd be on the 53. I am one who doesn't think we need more than three active running backs. We have enough depth for a several game 2-injury contingency. That's great!

The reality is that even with another injury, we would sign another RB, but then (as now), two RB's would get most of the non-garbage time reps.

To want to sign a running back so that we have the needed four running backs misses the point of having four or five in the first place.

Yes, at least I think so. I thought James was spent in AZ, and I can't see him doing much here.

Unless BB picks him up, of course, at which time allow me to say, Brilliant! Just Brilliant!!
