Because Hernandez is our true 5th RB and a 6th would need to be a ST rock-star.

Preseason hype will drive you crazy.
Sean Morey made a nice career for himself. The other two... well, not so much.

Ridley-Vereen-Woodhead-Bolden-Larsen is what I'd like to see personally.

One of Bill's few mistakes regarding players already on the Pats' roster was releasing Morey.
Considering the crap-fest we endured at WR during 2000-01 (excluding Troy Brown), I feel it safe
to ass-ume that Morey would've found a role here, both on offense & on STs.

Or R/V/W/B-Kettani.

Considering the excitement, I'm guessing that Ridley, Vereen, and Bolden are all cut before the season. Pats will use a bunch of street free agents, similar to the safety situation last year.

It's been positive. Some report mentioned that he hasn't dropped a ball in camp so far.

Crazy talk. Just watch, if he's healthy, Woodhead will get the most looks -- which is already happening. He's the most talented of that group by a considerable margin.

The guy is a freak athlete, a gadget back. Teams learnt how to defend him last season. Not a feature back given his size.

I think Woodhead could stick...but 4 RBs and a FB could be a little too heavy though. They only carried four backs under McD in 2007 through the duration including Evans at FB...they did the same thing in 2008. We know McD likes the FB to feature in his offence so one is almost certainly a lock.

Bolden is turning heads and Vereen by all accounts is turning heads also and could do Woodhead's job to equal or even a higher standard to what he achieved in 2010.

Guess what, that makes Woody expendable!
