He benched Maroney after a couple carries in the playoffs.
He seemed down on Maroney at the end of last season because of the
goal line fumbles.

Faulk, Morris & Taylor are good, but old & Morris and Taylor will probably get
hurt as usual.

BJGE is inactive most weeks.

No running backs drafted.... & no UDFA RB's yet.

Are we set at RB??

Will there be another trade?

As of right now, the unit is functional. I think they will bring in someone that is better than BJGE to compete.

I think that Belichick looked at the running game last year and saw where the issues were.. Not with the RBs, but with the inconsistency of the o-line. And he'd was amazed, like many others, that despite the inconsistency, the Pats ran the ball pretty well except in short yardage situations.

I think that with Vollmer starting at RT, Crumpler and Gronkowski, he feels that the team has improved in that aspect. Not to mention the addition of Ted Larson, who I think will be at OG spelling Neal.

We made a huge mistake not picking up Toby Gerhart. Could have a Heisman candidate, but instead we pick an unknown cornerback from Rutgers?

I wouldn't mind marshawn lynch he runs hard and he is a year wiser hopefully in regards to his off the field shortcomings

Brady is healthy.

We have three tight ends.

Vollmer will start and improve the OL.

We now have TWO wide receivers to stretch the field in Moss and Holt.

We have four solid running backs.

Our running game should be improved over 2009.

Did the OL fumble the ball on the goal line multiple times???

Faulk, Morris and Taylor seemed to be able to run behind the line
when healthy. Maroney never seems to be able to find the hole.

I don't think Maroney could find the hole behind Hannah & Gray.

Where do you get that McCourty was an "unknown cornback from Rutgers?" YOU might not have known about him. Anyone who actually was following the run up to the draft knew who he was and knew he was one of the top 5, possibly top 3 corners.

2011.

BB has been planning on it for two years. He has the picks and the leverage and the money to get a great one early in the first round. He has a FB already on the roster that will be available to use in 2011. He doesn't have to take a throw away RB who has no shot at making the roster this year when he had other positions that needed work before RB.

If we are having this discussion in a year then we should be worried
