Only two running backs on the roster / Pats need a RB

[SammyBlueCat]

Barner is back.

 

[Love The Drake]

Guessing Gill to Philly.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Ajayi is on IR with ACL.

Philly might want an RB.

Eagles place Jay Ajayi on injured reserve with torn ACL

Huge blow .

 

[TommyD4207]

Rather take a look at Darkwa.

We know what Gillislee is which is a JAG

The Patriots only need a JAG. You're not getting Curtis Martin off their couch before Week 6.

I'd take him.

 

[TheRainMaker]

I’d like to see a trade for a RB. I like what I’m seeing from Sony Michel, but I don’t want him to wear down and run into the “rookie wall”.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

I hope they put barner as the main pr

 

[Love The Drake]

On a side note they are reporting the Eagles are talking to the Cardinals about David Johnson and have freed up a total of 11 mill.

I thought the point of a backup was his ability to at least play some of the role that the guys he's backing up do, rather than be something completely different.

White & Michel are each other's backups; we do not have a Big Back of ANY kind in the building.

 

[captain stone]

I hope they put Barner as the main PR.

I hope they put Barner on waivers, again, but his time for good.

From what I've seen, White's and Michel's skill sets are complementary, yin/yang rather than duplicates of each other.

As far as a "big back" goes, maybe there simply isn't one available at the moment who's worth a roster spot?

At this point, I'm just happy that the Pats have a healthy, semi-competent 3rd RB on the active roster. It seems to me that it's been at least a few years since the last time the Pats had fewer than 5 RBs on the roster (including Bolden) for any extended period.

Until they find someone better to back up PR and be the 3RB there isn't anyone

 

[mgteich]

I suspect that Belichick believes that Chung and Patterson are the backup punt returners. Wasn't that the case in the last game?

You are right. However I view Chung as a "safety" PR (just FC, not run back) and Cord has had very limited experience as a PR. In other words, I think BB is looking for someone with more experience and playmaking ability in the role.

It really sucks to lose Cyrus Jones to the ratbirds.
However thank god we learned our lesson and didnt risk JC Jackson Or Keion Crossen to waivers.
Both seem talented enough to start on this team in the future.

Im not losing sleep over losing Cyrus.

If Jason Mc wasn't playing out of his mind right now JC would be starting.

Those are rumors started by Eagle fanboys. David Johnson just got an extension this offseason.

 

[tasmlab]

There’s probably offset language so unless some team agrees to pay him more per game than his Saints’ contract, he might as well sit home collect the same amount without risking injury.

I would think that if he didn't play for the whole year he'd also have a risk of ending his career.

I would've risked KC to waivers right now than CJ.

Jamaal Charles to the Jags.
Jaguars sign Jamaal Charles with Leonard Fournette sidelined
