Definitely run behind Develin. Otherwise you go on IR.
Hill probably has that tattooed on his forearms now.

Id play him as soon as he is ready. Because winning is important.I'd wait and let him play "sparsely" against the Titans. Since they have a BYE week afterwards...
IMO
At 0:25, hes taking out his own teammates as well....Check him out at 0:23. He and Develin could wreck the whole team.
Love the stiff -arm at 0:19.
Could it be that Sony Michel's imjury is worst than stated?
Didn't Develin put him on IR?Hill probably has that tattooed on his forearms now.
Like Barner, Farrow appears to be a runner who knows how to follow his blocking, and who doesn't crumple on first contact. With a very good run-blocking OL - plus Develin, Gronk and Allen - that much could be more than enough to get the job done.
James Develin will not allow his roster spot to be jeapordized.Didn't Develin put him on IR?
With all the speculation about the need for a RB and BB comments he is concerned about only 75 yards gained against Buffalo. Could it be that Sony Michel's imjury is worst than stated?

This analysis would be fine IFF Barner or Farrow could be counted on for anything at all. Both are behind Patterson in the RB depth chart. Barner was active and presumably healthy. I believe he carried twice.
If both Michel and Bulkhead are expected to be counted on after the bye, then Belichick must see SOMETHING in Barner or Farrow. Obviously, he thinks less of anyone that he could bring in, even as an emergency back brought in now for after the bye.
With everyone healthy, we would have Michel, White, Burkhead, Develin, Patterson and Barner/Farrow. I understand that the Barner/Farrow position is low priority but I would think that someone could be signed that would be an upgrade to Barner/Farrow as a backup. I certainly HOPE that this is NOT the case, and Barner or Farrow will be an adequate backup if called upon.
I think Michel plays on sunday. Bills was a win with or without him, sunday not so much.
Short week vs Packers, then Titoons and bye-week. So you play him on sunday or give him the bye to rest.
They also have the option to activate Rex, should be around bye aswell?
Belichick was asked a question about RB depth. He responded:
“We just got back a few hours ago,” Belichick said, “so we’ll kind or recalibrate here and see where we’re at relative to who’s available and how we want to structure our game plan and what we want to do there. That’s one of the things we’re going through (Tuesday). But it’s a consideration, and I’d say it’s a concern.”
AFAIK, Belichick didn't specifically express any concern over "only 75 yards gained against Buffalo", just about the depth at the position.
The Bills have a very good, though inconsistent, run-D. The Pats had only 82 rushing yards against JAX, and only 89 the following week against the Lions' abysmal run-D (Michel played in both those games).
WRT Michel's injury status, the report ("official" or not) has been that he's week-to-week. The fact is that he missed the first two practices last week, but then was only "limited" on Saturday (along with nine other guys).
Thanks for the reply as I posted "informative." I just read this morning BB response re: 75 yards, he was probably misquoted. Your info doesn't suggest it was a minor injury. I hope he gets better we need him this week vs GB.
I did. Still didn't get it. I agree with running behind Develin to gain yards, but in terms of avoiding IR, umm, not so much.Follow the comment links back to nabwong's original response. But be forewarned, it could go either way.
