RB situation

stcjones · Sep 25, 2018

pats bringing back Barner....Burkhead banged up again....nervous about Michel Health.....wonder why the took a pass on Orleans Darkwa....pretty big bruising back....who averaged 4.2 yards in career in pros....maybe could have been like a Blount type back for us....Need to get running game going to setup the pass....!!! Stephen A has Pats trading for Bell too....that’ll be the day Pitt lets him come here

I doubt that ever happens but it’s not impossible

I fully expected Darkwa to be the first call they made on Monday morning.

Bell wants a kings ransom.

He wont play for tag with Pitt because its too dangerous. I dont see why Bell would play for NE for the same money.

IRex just cannot stay on the field so it doesn't surprise me that they're bringing Barner back. Darkwa is a JAG. I suspect they would get him on the phone if Michel got injured. Stephen A is a complete moron if he thinks Pittsburgh would trade Bell to New England in a million years and if he thinks that the Pats would pay him anywhere in the same universe what he thinks he's worth.

New England Patriots bring back RB Kenjon Barner to give depth to injury-plagued backfield

We need Cat like quickness from our RB's. Is Barner quick?

At 5-foot-9, 190 pounds, he's on the lighter side for a running back and has a history of performing better in space than between the tackles.

I think it's safe to say Bell would not have made a difference in either of the last two games.

I think this play is symbolic of this team through 3 games. DL we let walk blows up "run blocking" Guard who we just extended to tackle RB who was stupidly drafted in the first round.

I honestly did too....wish they had given him a little more of in game look....but bill knows what he wants

We had our big back with Hill. Who knew he'd get knocked out for the year?
Michel will be a very good rb before the seasons over.
He's basically going thru his preseason right now.
The real blame for lack of run game rests squarely on the ol. They have to do a better job. Holes have been nonexistent. They WILL do better. They have Scar and talent.
Getting je11 back will help, as we'll actually have some semblance of a passing game to help open the running lanes.

UNLEASH Ralph Webb!

Rumor is Burkhead to IR on Twitter, take that for what it's worth.

Man Is made of glass.
I hate to say it but this season has all the makings of a Superbowl hangover.
Hill was a great signing gets hurt Burkhead has his moments gets hurt.
O line playing like crap D line playing worse than crap.
Overpriced free agents are playing with no fire pooping the bed.
Brady is frustrated Gronk is airing out dirty laundry.
Mccourty has regressed Jason isn't good Rowe has been terrible.
Hightower is playing so bad he is awful.
Gameplans look bad.
Belichick and Brady drama.
I think we miss the playoffs this year unless Gordon and Edelman can fix the O and the defense gets it straight.
If that doesn't happen we are looking 6 and 10 7 and 9.
That's ok because you can't win them all.
However I want the team to at least be competitive.
But I'm a fan regardless.

I told you Jag Mason was approaching the rarified air of overratedness previously reserved for Logan Mankins. Dude’s an underwhelming jag.

IRex indeed. So long.

If the non-linked story is true I'd hope it's something he could return from don't forget two players can come back from IR.

Tough start to the year for him but hopefully get past it quick we need him.
