Who'd you rather see get the reps this Sunday? With Bolden ruled out for Sunday's game they are both likely to see the field, behind Ridley of course. I love Woodhead but they may have something special in Vereen. Him and Woodhead have a similar skill set but I believe Vereen may become more of a play maker and slightly stronger in between the tackles. I was Stoked when Woody picked up the 1st down on 3rd and 17, but I can't count the times I screamed at my TV after a woodhead run on 3rd down. We may see a big game from Vereen this Sunday.

I'd like to see Vereen continue getting reps. We already know what we have with Woody while Vereen has shown some flashes but he's missed so much time.

Woodhead. Largely due to the fact that I have a red throwback with 39 on it. Also because I view Vereen as the Ras-I of the offense.

Like them both, but Vereen has more power and versatility as an inside runner as well as an outside threat and as a receiver.

As always the patriots go into every game with a card of 100 or so plays on it. They then go to the areas they have success in exploiting. Can't answer this question until they are in the game.

That could apply to Bolden, too. Injuries in college were what dropped him to a UDFA in the first place, and since breaking out he's been MIA.

Or maybe it's just a sign of how brutal the game is, especially for the RB position, and we're fortunate to be in a situation of having multiple options to choose from.

Armchair Quarterback

Grass is always greener. Would Vereen even have gotten any reps if Bolden was active? I still don't see why people have to constantly use superlatives to descibe him. He showed ok as a runner, blocked a little better than I thought he could and can catch out of the backfield well but has shown nothing as of yet to be considered "something special". I also wouldn't be putting any bets on Vereen being stronger between the tackles.

That's true. Luckily it's a risk we were able to afford given the depth at the position. Vereen filled in fine last week. Just hope Bolden could be healthy for the playoffs if we get there, at the time he seems like an upgrade to Vereen although the sample size is small and Vereen could improve with time.

What I said...

"I love Woodhead but they may have something special in Vereen."

Vereen was a productive runner in college that we used a 2nd round pick on. He's agile and has top speed. Even the little we've seen him, there's still some promise for this kid.

I don't know why you doubt he's stronger between the tackles than Woodhead. That's not a hard feat right there... Also, he's a couple inches taller and 10 lbs heavier.

I love them both,,but give me some Vereen tomorrow. I think he has a few catches and big numbers as a RB .
