For years I've been saying - they gotta get a back with a high "Elusive Rating".

Speaking of Woodhead: he's a full inch taller than Lewis.
I never thought Lewis would do anything, shows what I know. Gore has looked pretty mediocre; everyone thought he was just going to have to be better than what the colts had last year because Luck was going to be awesome but that hasn't worked so farClassic Bill Belichick. Colts throw a boat load of money at Gore, who is broken down. Giants yank Vereen away and Pats choose not to match. Pats sign a borderline camp tryout guy and make him better than either of those two guys, for much less money.
Holy **** bro!
Danny Woodhead is a legit 5'5". My Mom ran into him on a plane and said he was shorter than her. She's 5'6".
David Johnson has 7 NFL touches from scrimmage...

I am extremely pleasantly surprised about Lewis. I think that overall he is better than Vereen. Vereen did some nice things, especially wheel routes, or getting open on quick option routes. But I never liked him after the catch, execpt his full outs sprints on wheel routes. He was never that good at creating yards with the ball in his hands. Lewis on the other hand is much more similar to Woodhead with the ball, they have that ability to get make tacklers miss and pick up yards you didn't think was there.

Lewis is in the thick of some elite company in this man's opinion.

BB seems to approve too. He was complimenting the TD celebrations in his breakdown-with-Zolak video, and I don't recall that ever happening before.
A friend of mine and I were discussing Lewis and closest comparison was Dave Meggett (minus the rape and burglary). I think BB coached at NYG when Meggett was still there.

How else can you explain what is going on.
That said, I still think that the Patriots front office has done a excellent job over the last 14 years considering that they draft near the end of the round every year, a gigantic disadvantage (not to mention the draft picks stolen by the NFL). From 2001-2015, they have had only one 9-7 season and two 10-6 seasons, all others have been better. Tom Brady has been a large part of why that is, we all agree. I just don't think that an average personnel department (even with the great Tom Brady as quarterback) would have been able to sustain that level of success all of these years, 14 years without a record worse than 9-7! If Tom Brady had ended up with some average organization I would still expect that he would have some Superbowl rings but just not the sustained success of the Patriots. And of course, who knows what the success of the Patriots would have been without him, I dread the day when we find out.
