JJ Taylor possibly headed to Covid list
Patriots work out former Saints running back amid depth concerns (985thesportshub.com)

Ozigbo does nothing to help the depth at 3rd-Down RB... I would've signed Duke Johnson to the PS as soon as James White was placed on IR.

I'm still trying to figure out why McDaniels would run midget waterbug JJ Taylor up the middle against 300+ lb DL who would drop him on first contact.
I get he's difficult to locate, but he offers zero yards after contact.
Pitch it/screen it out to him and see if he can turn the corner and juke LBs in pursuit

Regarding the loss of White, I've noticed in the past 2 seasons he has been getting dropped easily on first contact as well.
It will be interesting to see where James White plays next season.
Free agent in 2022
Current wages $2.4 mill
Given Stevens 3 down viability, White might not be deemed as essential as in years past.
Note: Bolden is a free agent in 2022 as well. Current comp is $1.35 mill

Yep, running him up the middle is a waste of a down... His game is C-gapping, screen-catching etc... Too bad Little Nicky hasn't released Rex Burkhead like he's released others during the season...

I'd still like to see a full season of Sweet Feet at Mac's disposal, health permitting... Either he or Bolden could return next year, but I would be surprised if both do...

So much for a big body... Niles Scott released from Pats PS.
