I expect a RB to be added via FA.

I doubt all three of Morris, Taylor, and BJGE are on the team next year.

Go back and WATCH the games. Go back and listen to Belichick take the O-line to task for it's inconsistent blocking. It's amazing how people like yourself don't bother to listen to what the COACH says. You just delude yourselves into thinking you're smarter than he is.

Your BS about Maroney not finding a hole if Hannah and Gray were there is just that. BS. And pure, unfounded speculation.

Morris - Fumbled in a critical 4th and 2 short yardage situation.
Taylor - Fumbled in a critical short-yardage situation.

Maroney seems to find the hole just fine when given the same opportunities to run the draw plays that Taylor, Morris and Faulk were given. But people like you ignore that.

So I guess that BB Benched Taylor and Morris in that play-off game as well.. Since they had 1 and 2 carries respectively. OR maybe the Pats were just getting their arses handed to them so badly that the ground game became secondary..

BB is always down when a player fumbles. That's why it upset him that Morris and Taylor fumbled in critical situations as well.

BB does give players the chance to redeem themselves.. Maroney is still young and he's got the skill..

I like you as a poster Bruinz, but you seem to take a nutty every post defending Maroney.

Let's put it this way. Look at the 2nd round RBs over the past few years. Most of them have started and produced day 1. If we need a RB next year we can assume the same thing with confidence. Finding a RB is one of the easier things to do in the NFL

Excellent point. Why draft at a position of need when you can take an unnecessary running back and placate a bunch of complainers on Patsfans.com?


That's going to keep Belichick all night, I'm sure.

Rumor is that BB was about to call Toby, but at the very last moment he had flashbacks of Tommy Vardell and decided that a top CB was a better selection.

Excellent point, why draft a RB whose running style doesn't fit your blocking scheme?

I guess it must be an awful shocker to people that Minnesota got both of the big thumper RBs with Blount signing as a UDFA?

Back to NE - teams will be reshuffling their roster over the next couple months, I expect a couple veteran RBs will be in camp to compete with Maroney & Co.

my biggest problem with the running game is not how many att the team has or how many yerds or even who is running the ball.




my problem is they can't run the ball when they need to they can't get 1 or 2 yerds on 3rd or 4th and short. and can't run they clock out when they have a lead in the 4th.
