So can White and Rex and Bolden to an extentBoth Michel and Harris can catch passes out of the backfield. They just aren't used that way enough.

To improve our running game? The Pats are in the bottom half of the NFL in rushing yards this year, our leading rusher ranks 17 in the NFL in total yards, which is decent I guess but not elite. Not even close to elite. Michel ran for 18 yards against the Ravens, 45 against the Texans, and 8 against the Chiefs. Not exactly getting it done is it? We have no run-pass balance to speak of, which makes us predictable. We can’t move the ball when the passing game goes awry, which is becoming more common with Brady’s advancing age, our MASH unit receiving corps with butterfingers, and breakdowns in protection. When’s the last time we had a guy get 100 on the ground? Has it even happened once this year? Look at the top teams in the league, the a Ravens, 49ers and Seahawks, they all can run the damn ball and gash you on the ground. Our run game is pedestrian by comparison. And our pass game isn’t that much to speak of either.
I’m talking about an overhaul. Cut the dead weight wherever they think it is and get better more talented backs. They’re out there. We’re gonna need it. 60-40 pass/run ain’t sustainable with these personnel, much less breaking in a new QB in the not so distant future, which is a complete unknown.

Oh so like a De'Anthony Thomas or ...?Reading comprehension assistance may be needed.
Think “speedster” was over looked!

I second thisIn regard to this years impotent running game, I actually think the TE tire fire has been worse than the OL dumpster fire, and am truly puzzled by the intensity of the criticism of Michel.
Don't be a loser. List was done before the year. Take that **** somewhere else. I really didn't ask & my record speaks for itself.Move helaire to tier 1 or I lose respect for you @BaconGrundleCandy

We don't need no stinking RB's. We are good, need Develin back.I feel this years draft at RB we would be looking at more of a receiver type back, as I don’t think we would be looking at your battering ram type of back like we have in Sony and Harris.
So not sure on that front who would we be looking at? Maybe as well ST value too.
