But we won't be a run blocking team, as you talking about, aslong Brady is here. So they should "shop" him or atleast not resign him and draft a new one.
This is my point. He's a guy who gets positive yards with our style of play. You can bring Blount in when you've loosened up a defense later in the game, and he will get you 4.5 yards per clip. But when Carolind was stacking the box early in the game, Ridley was getting them 3.5-4 yards per clip.
That is really tough to do.
Can New England find a guy who can do that? We've been through several players who couldn't.
This is like getting rid of Talib and upgrading him with a top draft pick, or getting rid of Welker and upgrading him with Amendola (sorry).
It's not so easy to replace productive NFL players, and Belichick realizes that, as he showed by putting Ridley in the game.
if we can have upgrades over Ridley and Talib, do you think there is a single Patriots fan here who doesn't want that?
