will we keep both of these guys or will one be cut?

who is gunna get the bulk of the carries this year behind Maroney?

Jordan looks like the better back to me imo.

If Morris proves 100% healthy during Training Camp I see 0 chance he is cut even with Lamont Jordan on this team. When he played the first few games last year he was tremendous. We never were stuffed on a 3rd and 1 and he was solid on ST. I know it seems like forever a go due to Brady unspeakable second half, but before Morris went down we had a very balanced offense both Run and Pass.

I see Sammy Morris as a guy to come in and give Maroney a breather. A change of pace back. I see Jordan as being a power back who can catch the ball out of the backfield who can sub in and out with Faulk on third downs, come in on a third down short yardage situation, or come in with Faulk in a 2 RB, 3 WR Shotgun set on third down.

I will be shocked if either is cut. Belichick will feel very safe that he'll have an NFL calibur RB all season as it's very unlikely these two and Maroney will both all hurt. Plus Jordan can backup up the receiving part of Faulk's game.

if we can keep them both that would be sweet, i just dont want to see someone else get cut because of it, like a CB or LB. Maybe if we keep both Evans or Eckle is gone.

I just think LaMont could be deadly in this offense with his ability to catch the ball, that will neutralize the pass rush on Brady. I kinda prefer to give LaMont the bulk of the carries behind Maroney than Morris. Morris is ok but hes not something you cant find if you need to, hes a dime a dozen rb imo.

Agree. They both stay. No question.

I prefer Sammy to LaMont Jordan. I haven't heard the greatest things about LaMont in Oakland and I was impressed by Sammy from what I saw last season. He runs hard and at times was doing better than Maroney. I think Sammy is 100% anyways.

Barring an injury in camp, I see Evans as the one with the most potential to be cut. He isn't that great of a fullback and is a poor backup to Faulk in the passing game. Maybe Jordan can take over the limited FB duties, or they could cut that position out of their playbook. BB caters to the strengths of his personnel and I think Jordan would bring an edge to the power running game that we haven't really had since Dillon.

The real loss would be Evan's contribution to ST.

Eh, you still need A fullback. It's not easy running against a goal-line defense with no-lead blocker. Especially if there is no pure blocking tight end a la Daniel Graham. Ideally you want to run behind a lead blocker and a blocking TE. If you cut Evans, the Pats have neither. And these short-yardage situations occur every game.

Cut Jackson, keep Jordan
