Nah, I've got nothing.

I will note that Patrick Pass is available. He certainly knows the offense.

I guess this is a fun little thread to dig deep into the free agents/practice squad running backs but I sure hope we don't see any of the guys getting meaningful snaps for the patriots this year. The only one I wouldn't mind is Pass. I thought he was a versatile player who helped us during our super bowl runs and could fill the special team/fullback roles of guys like Evans and Eckel if they were to have to see more regular duty in the offense,

Pass was, indeed, a versatile and useful player for us - until 10/30/05, the night of Tedy Bruschi's return, when Pass fumbled without being hit, though he acted as if he had been - by a train. Too bad, because he had a good game the week before at Denver, and was off to a good start vs. Buffalo.

I thought we cut him from the practice squad? Not exactly a ringing endorsement when a team won't keep you even on the practice squad.

What's the furor over RBs?

They should take Hairston off Indy's PS to get them paranoid that we will debrief him.
