Patriots practice 14 observations - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston
So here's a scenario: do we drop one RB and keep a WR who can run the ball?
And how about dark-horse Kyle Arrington?
Interesting things, which may not ever be significant. But where would we be, as a forum, if we didn't blow some things out of proportion?
So what do you think? Can a WR hybridize to an RB to add depth?
Can an ST DEMON make the team as a DB with a pretty killer (on paper) stable already on the field?

Second-year wide receiver Julian Edelman was a participant in select running backs drills, continuing a trend seen over the past few days of practice. “I’ll do whatever they tell me to do,” Edelman said after practice. “I like running that ball. Everyone can carry the ball out here. It’s something I’m comfortable doing.” With a crowded wide receiver position, this will be one area to watch during the preseason.
And how about dark-horse Kyle Arrington?
The team’s defensive backs went one-on-one against the running backs, similar to the drill run between the linebackers and running back earlier in training camp. Cornerback Kyle Arrington was far and away the best performer in this drill, beating running back Fred Taylor twice and Sammy Morris once. Unlike other defensive backs who attempted to bull rush the pass protector, Arrington used a quick spin move to get to the “quarterback.”
