By: Ian Logue

Doing a little digging this afternoon I came accross an interesting article from a site covering the Fayette State Broncos, which is where Patriots runningback Richard Medlin went to school....

Medlin might actually make the team, depending on the injury status of Faulk and Vareen.

REALLY hope he doesn't... For the simple reason it'd mean those guys MUST be hurting. Besides : even in that case, wouldn't they just go with four ? (Woodhead, Ridley, BJGE, and Morris)

I have been a huge fan of this kid when i seen him live when he was in college. Saw him play 2 games and you could just tell he shouldn't of been playing where he was. His vision is just remarkable. He can also return kicks just figured id throw that out there. I haven't read or heard him taking reps at kr yet. Hopefully we see a ton of him tomorrow night. Nice read. Thanks:rocker:

No chance at all unless 3 or 4 RBs get hurt

Practice squad???

That's what I'm thinking and hoping too. I just don't see any way for him to make the roster, and feel as though we'd just keep 4 if Faulk goes to PUP. And that doesn't even take Vareen into acct.

Since we're all expecting Faulk to go to PUP anyway, I really don't see the coorelation between them and Medlin's sitaution personally.

We'd still have BJGE, Ridley, Woodhead, and (Morris) as the experienced back and ST contributors.

If BOTH Vareen and Faulk are PUP'ed, or even Vareen IR'ed, I think it makes the situation a lot more viable to keep 4--which is what most people thought anyway before Faulk was re-signed.

Medlin will attempt to go through waivers and make the PS, but with all of the supposed eyes on the backups/depth, he may not make it.
