FWIW, ESPN's James Walker looks at the Pats' RB situation:

For Walker, it's not a bad read. I do find the following quote from Ivan Fears a bit puzzling:
"Lots of guys"? Fears had Woodhead, Ridley and Vereen just as now. He had BJGE and he had Kevin Faulk for roughly half a season, now he has Joseph Addai and a couple of experienced fullbacks. Faulk may be incomparable as a mentor, but that's different than "I had a lot of guys".

"We have a bunch of young kids that have a lot more to learn," Patriots running back coach Ivan Fears said. "I had a lot of guys [last year] who experienced the game and knew what to expect in the pro game. These guys are young."
