I feel like we should have done more with Patterson. We in effect were the first team to re-invent Patterson by starting to use him as a rusher as well. See his career below. The most carries he had before coming to us was 13, on sweeps. We gave him 42 carries and used him in a different way. That has allowed Chicago and then Atlanta to see the tape and use him as well giving him 64 carries last year, and now already 133 carries in 13 games. That versatility has allowed him to stay on field longer and has gotten him more involved in the passing game as well. He has 500+ yards both catching and receiving. I think he would have been perfect for us if we kept using him more instead of jettisoning him. He only cost $3m on a 1 year deal for Atlanta so not like he was expensive.
