HEY BRO! WHAT UP? said:
Here's a little nugget to consider, the last time the Pats won a super bowl, they had a 1,000 yard rusher.

Everytime this decade that the Patriots have been 14 or more wins, they have gone to the Superbowl.

Patspsycho · Jan 2, 2011

BJGE leads Patriots with 1093 yards from scrimmage, and leads with 13 TDs (Gronk is next with 10).

He also has zero fumbles, of course.

Not too bad for a guy I had not making the team :lol2:

Congratulations to BJGE....first 1000 yard rusher for the Patriots in quite some time!!! I am happy to be one of the few that really knew how GOOD this kid was in college and the potential he had if given a chance.....and he has really flourished......Today he had several situations where he was dead in the water as far as blocking goes....and he STILL plowed ahead for 3+ yards!!!!!!!! The guy is a true patriot.....bided his time....waited behind that waste of space maroney patiently WITHOUT complaining.......and waited for his opp....to get ENOUGH reps consistently to PROVE himself.....and HE DID IT!!! NOW on to the playoffs BJGE......!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!

He is a free agent, next year. The Patriots will have to deal with:

BJGE
Mankins
Light
Gost
Faulk
Morris

I thought they locked up Ghost already??!!!.....No? Faulk's time in NE is most likely done I would imagine with the play of Woody.....hate to see him go....one of the greatest PATS of all time......

Yes, you are right. My Bad.

"On August 26, 2010, the Patriots signed Gostkowski to a four-year extension. While he will play 2010 on his tender contract, the extension will give him $14 million from 2011 to 2014, with $5 million guaranteed."

I like that BB left him in long enough to get his 1000 yards, nice little reward for his hard work. You know his teammates wanted him to reach that mark in a bad way, maybe more than he himself did.

ausbacker · Jan 2, 2011

Superb effort by the Law Firm and the Patriots. It cannot be understated how important he has become to this team with his no nonsense get the ball moving forward running style. I've loved watching him carry the running back load for this side and create opportunities in conjunction with the offensive line.

Here's hoping to a couple of big playoff performances for BJGE and the Pats.

Don't know if this has been posted before (i didn't see it )

TFL + fumbles ==> VERY successful at avoiding big plays
TDs + FDs ==> getting the job done + some overload of "short-yardage" downs
"short-yardage" overload ==> better than his YPC otherwise show

Re: BJGE got stats!

I have loved him from day one (yes from that day one) and I am glad he finally got his runs!

He is a RFA so any team that manages to sign him away will lose a pick if the Pats decline to match the offer sheet.

Sciz · Jan 2, 2011

I see no way Benny gets less than a first round tender. And if a team offers that, I'm taking it :lol2:

eagle eye · Jan 2, 2011

Delighted to see him get the 1000 yards. You could see the smile on his face after he did it. A goal achieved.

Its a great story of strong will, determination, discipline and hard work paying off. Hope he goes on to have many more seasons like this one and even better. All with the Patriots of course.

Patspsycho · Jan 3, 2011

Also he is one of only two RBs to have at least 175 carries and 0 fumbles. The other is Ray Rice who incidentally has a lower YPC than BJGE does.

Here's Benny's postgame insight as to what goes on during a play: Can you imagine TB talking during a play? Amazing.
