RB3 is Who?

[Clonamery]

I dont know how anyone can watch last night's extended run from the backups, and think anything but "Lan Larison" in response to this question.

Jam Miller looks like a power back with a lot of learning to do. I dont see the Damien Harris comps at all, other than where they went to school. Lan Larsion, 3 times kept drives alive on 3rd/4th down, fighting for the first. He, to my eyes, looked like a pro-ready player who you can have a package for on Sundays. Sneaky power, people will comp him with Burkhead for obvious reasons, really just looks like a bigger Kevin Faulk to me.

Yup. That 2nd Training Camp is worth a spot on the 53 because what was learned and reinforced.

Im hardly a Lan Larison truther on top of it. Kid showed me he belongs in the nfl.

Every year, I'm amazed at how many players do so well against 3rd stringers that they clearly belong in the NFL.

Don't get me wrong. I will celebrate if Larison is the first patriot this century to be a roster contributor after spending his rookie season on IR.

Come on, you've been watching football for a long time. Fighting for first downs, field awareness, thats something that you can glean despite any potential competition.

Again, I'm no Lan Larison truther, I was totally on the fence about him going into this year, and didn't see what others saw last year in camp.

In my mind, Larison is slightly ahead of Miller for the RB3 (and likely 53 man roster spot). I’ll admit, I was a big Burkhead fan, and it’s hard not to be reminded of Rex when you see him play. With that said, I do really like Miller. I think he can be a quality NFL RB. But as of today I think Miller has a better chance of clearing waivers and being a priority PS addition for the Patriots. That’s really what it comes down to for me. I want to keep both guys.

You can bring a RB up from the PS.

They elevated T Jennings and Ernest Johnson three times each last year as the third back.

And any team can sign them at any point. That’s not a plan.

I think they both would clear waivers , big of tff he sts concern keep Miller. He was drafted and Larisoj already missed a year with an injury.
Larison runs hard, abd is easy to be a fan of.

We've been through this. They lost Mark Robinson and Thayer Munford off the practice squad last year, and both were available again a few weeks later, Munford even ended up back.

I agree Morton and Larison might be vulnerable, but even Vrabel is saying the team is thin overall.

Makes this strategy even more attractive.

You can’t use a history where you didn’t do something and make it facts for what will happen of you do.
If the Patriots go into the season with 2 RBs relying on acting their 3rd every week, they will lose that guy, even if to an upcoming opponent.
What does it say to this player that you value that he can’t get paid real money, and you make him free to any other team because you want to keep a different player who isn’t even good enough to be active?

Being thin makes this plan more stupid. You can’t afford to have a guy you need poached. And who are you keeping in order to execute this hare brained scheme that into enough to make your roster? There is no gain and only potential loss


And yes we have been through this and you are wrong. Losing 2 players from the ps in one year is not prove you won’t lose any.

I agree it might not be wise to cut Larison. He might get picked up.

But none of the third TE's will. Same with the inside linebackers. Muma, Jacobs, Obiazor. Only Britt might be a risk.

There's plenty of room on this roster.

Added: what's funny is I am trying to find a way to keep your pet, Boutte, because the other six are sticking.
