instead of going out and signing the anual FA OLD rb, well have BJ...who does similar things
if im not mistaken, fred was signed for 2 years....
so next year it will be
Maroney,
FRed
BJ
Faulk
it will be both faulk's and fred's last years in the NFL....we would prob draft a rb in 2 years
Played 2 more snaps than LoMo, had close to 10 YPC average, had some very nice blocks and was in on the flea-flicker. Say what you want, but they certainly have confidence in the kid and now he's getting his chances and maximizing them.
You're taking "they have confidence in him" from them playing him in a 59-0 blow out? Maroney took the snaps when they still meant something.

Did you happen to watch the game? BJGE was in pretty early on. I get that you can't give the guy any respect but at least get a bit real, k?

Hey, the way Faulk ran yesterday on that TD, he looked like has has atleast couple of more years under his belt if not more !
First it was--"he'll never, EVER make the 53 man squad. We don't need him on this team, there's no way he's making the team."
Then it was--"Well, even though he made the team, he'll ALWAYS be on the inactive list." Yet, come week 2 he's active on gameday, and plays on ST.
Then it was--"Well, he may be active from time to time, but he'll never see any gameday action." (like no one has watched NFL football before, and they don't realize that they'll be injuries in the first 6 games probably)
Now it's--"Even though the first 3 things were wrong, all he did was play alright I guess. It was only some light mop-up duty."
BJGE will NEVER get any respect on this forum, he'll always be considered just a JAG who "we could easily replace if we had too." Some of us get the feeling Belichick likes him a lot, he's obviously that kind of overachiever who BB really gives credit to. He has value on special teams, blocks and chips well, has downhill running capability, and does run hard. I have no idea why someone who plays on "our team" is so disliked, etc. You actually hear that he's overrated, etc, but in the old days if we had a no-name guy come off the bench and do well, he'd be a fan favorite. Hell, even if he just didn't fumble in the old days he would've been respected for doing his job off the bench, etc. I just don't really get it, and I never have. But I'm also not trying to start a major discussion either. Just get used to it.

The kid has been nothing but impressive his entire stint here. I think he deserves more playing time. I'm gald to see that he seems to be making the 45 man roster each week now. If that guy who showed up wearing the #39 jersey yesterday keeps playing that way, then the Pats have something with the dredlock duo.
