(Fred) Taylor ruled out for Monday night

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Didn't Gronk play a couple plays at Full Back too?

Don't remember that...I think Connelly did though

 

[Patspsycho]

Boy I miss the days of Dillon and Faulk, Law and Poole.

We replaced that with Benjarvus Green and Ellis.

New law firm in town now.

 

[cmasspatsfan]

I miss Corey Dillon


Our RB's are horrible

They ran well last week, why dont you wait a couple of weeks and see how they do before you throw them under the bus.

 

[Gwedd]

It only took one game for him to get injured (Bengals). Now they're down to Morris, BJGE and Woodhead.

Worst RB's in the NFL.

Did you miss the 200 yards of rushing the RB's put up last week?

I don't think the Bill's run defense is scaring anyone

True ... it takes few weeks to get a running game going when you don't have a star RB.

 

[Kontradiction]

The decision to trade Maroney keeps looking better and better.

 

[FCB02062]

Did you miss the 200 yards of rushing the RB's put up last week?

Yes, but we also saw the 20 rushes for 52 yards in their last road game. I smell about 75 yards on 25 carries on Monday with alot of 0, 1, and 2 yard runs...

 

[HEY BRO! WHAT UP?]

Did you miss the 200 yards of rushing the RB's put up last week?

They played the Bills. Most teams run on the Bills. Nice argument.

 

[Patjew]

They played the Bills. Most teams run on the Bills. Nice argument.

The Dolphins awesome RB's ran for only 130 yards against those same Bills.

PS:

 

[JMarr]

The Dolphins don't even need to gameplan much for our running game now. I think BJGE's performance last week was probably a fluke. Sorry, but he is just not that good, and while Taylor's injury chould have been foreseen, Faulk's wasn't and all Belichick can hope for at this point is a miracle season from Brady.

No play action will make it difficult for Brady to have any time for long developing routes. Dolphins just have to concentrate on taking away Welker and the TE's and our O will be reduced to reverses, flea flickers and such to try to move the sticks. We might see a half back pass--maybe the decision utimately came down to BJGE having the better arm than Maroney.

And I ever thought it would happen, but we might even see BB use some kind of Wildcat. Edelman is being wasted anyway, so it makes sense to try it.

 

[Joker]

nope...I'll bet you just for whatever..no wildcat...and BJGE runs straight ahead at the snap...the O line does their job he'll be OK.We live and die at the ahnds of the passing game

 

[italian pat patriot]

i think the RB will have a priority next year draft

 

[Joker]

we need a dominant DT..the lack of Seymour has had the biggest impact on the Pats the past two seasons

 

[cincipatsfan]

It's truly amazing the number of people that don't allow stats to get in the way of their brilliant analysis

 

[West Philly Patriot]

The Dolphins awesome RB's ran for only 130 yards against those same Bills.

PS:

But in all likelihood PJ the bills' gameplan throughout the week focused on the dolphins rushing attack and how to negate it.

Where as I'm sure playing the patriots they weren't viewing film of law firm and woodhead in the film room for 5 hours.

 

[eagle eye]

It's truly amazing the number of people that don't allow stats to get in the way of their brilliant analysis

Its equally amazing that amount of people that think stats are the be all and end all.

They are just a part of a good discussion.

 

[Joker]

if stats meant anything,Martz would have insisted the ball get to Holt almost every play...he missed the Troy Brown stats too..as did the entire country..stats make money..plays under pressure make winners

But don't you see? The secret of the Pats running game is their crappy running game!

 

[patsinthesnow]

Atleast PatJew sees the light that the pats runninggame could be a good one...

BB traded away Maroney leaving three very old RBs and BJGE. You really think he's that dumb that he would rely on the three old guys the whole season while BJGE sits the bench? no.

Truth is BB and Fears saw something in BJGE warranting a trade for Maroney.
Woodhead also looks like he could be a pretty good third down back.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BJGE so far has ran good. On minimum carries against the Bengals, he ran effective, he got stuffed by the Jets (Ray rice must suck), and got 100 yards and TD against the Bills.

Give the RB core a few games before saying its the worst in the nfl.
