Burkhead AND Bentley put on IR

Not open for further replies.
I'd rather sign either Joshua Adams from the Philthy Iggles' PS or Bo Scarbrough from the Dallas Cowpads' PS. Both of these rookies resemble Jeremy Hill more closely than Webb does, and have higher upsides than Farrow does.
My point is the Patriots cannot go with
Devlin and White as the only available bodies.

I don't suspect they will. Doing so will ask Brady to drop back for 50 passing attempts which is the recipe for an L. I would think/hope that Michel is ready to go.
 
I do wonder if they've tried Patterson as a halfback at all. Not the best option in the world, but dude can break a tackle or two if he has to.
 
Bad luck with former Bengals with the exception of Dillon.

Ocho Nada Comprehendo playbook
Jeremy Hill
Burkhead though he has contributed.

Hill is a good player BB thinks very highly of him he will be back next year.
Under the same contract I believe as this year can somebody confirm if this is accurate or not?
He's not a free agent because of IR I believe.

The defense would figure that out quickly. Patterson would get killed trying to run between the tackles and would more than likely put the ball on the ground.

Yeah, it isn't a long term answer, but might work for one or two plays?

Eh, if I'm the defense, I would know that Patterson is probably going to bounce it to the strong side. He's not taking it up the gut. I don't think he's useful at the position except to maybe catch a quick out out of the backfield.
 
Webb looked OK in preseason.
 
Practiced today
 
My guess is that they put the ball in Brady's hands and substitute a variety of screens and short passes for the running game. Hopefully Michel can take a few snaps but I don't expect a lot of hand-offs.
 
I’ll wait until the season is over, but if Rex keeps playing musical chairs with the medical tent or taps out on the field throughout the season, the Pats should move on.

I like Rex, but it seems like he’s always dealing with something.

I really like his game, but, as you say, he always seems to be dealing with an injury. I find myself cringing every time he touches the ball. Or, for that matter, every time he's on the field.
 
We are suddenly thin at RB....Rex just can't stay healthy and can't count on him to last even 12 games IMO

That was also me with Dion Lewis last year. There were times I just wanted him to just get down and avoid any awkward hits.
