Replacing BJGE - Page 4 - New England Patriots Forums

We haven't yet seen what a healthy Vereen with a full TC can do.

Polite may be the one yard and a cloud of dust RB that we need, or he may be Vereen's lead blocker in close. BB probably picks up another FA or draft pick as insurance. May the best man win.

It's going to be a fun season !

Vereen & Ridley are our RB's, I have little doubt about that. Ridley can absolutely do what BJGE did IF he cures his fumbles.

And what little we saw of Vereer last year was impressive imo. He can catch and has some very quick moves.

There will be Woody as well.

I'd like to see us bring in a big-body, move the pile, goal line RB. I'm fond of Michael Bush for that role, if the price is right.

Having seen Matt Forte's comments through his agent on Twitter, I'm having a nice day-dream about us trading for him.....

I didn't read his comments, but he probably wants a giant contract -- I don't see that happening when you've got 2 guys on rookie deals and the draft in front of us.

I did say it was a day-dream

I think the Bears might do it for the 27th pick. CHI still has to re-up Okoye and possibly extend Urlacher & Briggs, plus the Bears will be more pass oriented & a power run game of Bush & Barber will compliment that. I can see Lovie drooling at the thought of retooling the defense drafting a DE & CB, then maybe draft Lamar Miller in the 2nd.

I wouldn't give the 27th pick for Matt Forte.

Select either Cyrus Gray from Texas A&M in the third round or Tauren Poole from Tennessee in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

The Chicago Bears are not trading Matt Forte since Matt Forte was the Chicago Bears offense last season.
