Heath Evans goes out on a limb and thinks that the Pats need to involve the running game more:
“I’ll say this: If you look at the three Super Bowls they’ve won, they ran the ball, and they ran the ball extremely well,” NFL Network analyst Evans said Friday. “There were a lot of two-back sets. Patrick Pass was your fullback in some of them. And they also had Marc Edwards, the original (No.) 44. Look, I’m just going to say it. The Patriots, if they want to win another Super Bowl, they need to have a dominant, physical ground game. And I would say this: The Patriots’ goal-line scheme, they need to take that and implement it into the open field.”

I tend to agree with him. I don't think the Pats ever want to be a run-first team, but I do think they need to have a dominant, physical ground game that they can use when appropriate.
