Next Man Up. Make it work. Do your job.
Comparing Lewis and White and Vereen is pointless. They're all different. We need White to make the open reception, pick up the blitzing LB and convert on 3rd down. Can he do that in the context of the scheme? When the pressure is on? He doesn't have to win the MVP and he doesn't have to run for 100 yards.
Reasons to believe. Reasons to doubt, but it's all speculation. We won't know until we see him in the situation. If he was a scrub, he would be playing in Miami with Jonas Gray. If he was GOAT he would have beat Lewis for the starting job before today. Put him on the field and let's see what happens next.
Until Bledsoe got hurt, we didn't know what we had in Brady. Until Welker was gone, we didn't know what we had in Edelman. Until Vereen was gone, we didn't know what we had in Lewis. Until Solder, Vollmer and Cannon all got hurt, we didn't know that Stork can play RT. Players step up.
Time for James White. He's got a week to get himself mentally right. He's been training for this opportunity for his entire career, and the staff believe in him or he wouldn't be here.
