Return of the running game?

[Greg]

As we move on without Tom, I would expect to see a team that is going to rely much more on the running game again.

Does Sony lead the pack or does Damian Harris go from the bench to workhorse lead back? Can Rex stay healthy? Will James White catch even more screen passes. Do we draft someone else?

What are your expectations for our RBs next year?

 

[festy1986]

Running game is dependent on how much they fear your passing game.

Call me crazy but I dont think anyone does

 

[TheRainMaker]

O-line needs to be fixed.

I expect NE to catch up with the times and change their style of offense.

 

[Nunchucks]

The ol was hurt last year, along with devlin and lack of a real te. Should see it get much better this year

 

[FCB02062]

They tried to be a running team last year - it was abhorrent

 

[Tottie]

Sony Michel is horrible.

They tried to be a running team last year - it was abhorrent

They also tried in 2018 and it was brilliant.

Wynn-Thuney-Andrews-Mason all need to step up. (So does whomever plays RT)
I don’t think it’s a stretch to believe the RB could be heavily featured this Fall.

 

[farn]

Sony Michel is horrible.

Stalin was horrible. Sony is a guy who helped NE win a SB in 2018 & had a tough 2019. Let’s see what’s up next.

 

[Jangles]

In order for this to happen we need to find a starting QB and quality running back

currently we have neither

Andrews needs to step up? The guy who could be dealing with life threatening blood clots?

They’ll trade Thuney.

I've taken the SB run into consideration and will upgrade him from 'horrible' to 'terrible'.

They’ll trade Thuney.

Those individuals, currently on the team, need to step up if NE hopes to regain the 2018 style running game.

Yes, there are considerations with several members of the OL. If (they might not be) they are all available, and step up, it’ll go a long way in pushing us along.

 

[farn]

There should be no confusion, Stalin was responsible for the death of millions. He was horrible. Sony is a RB who helped this team win a SB. He is not horrible.

 

[patman12]

Sony Michel is horrible.

If the coaching staff agrees, they’ll move on from Sony.

That said, I think having a healthy OL, both FBs and decent blocking TEs will help the running game a great deal.

The poster meant as a player not as a person. That’s why the comparison was random and confusing.

 

[Patriots1993]

If we want the running game to be our offensive feature then we need to find someone else to play at RB. Sony cant handle that load. Even in college he had Chubbs

Yes, we should use a 2nd to draft a RB to compete with Sony.

 

[PatsFan2]

Pats OL had injury Issues RB can't get out of his own way. WR's minus Edelman below par yeah and we wonder why Brady said peace ?? out.

Time ? to dumb it down for the likes of Harry and Sanu. It's going to look bad before it gets better book it. Pats skilled position players minus Edelman lack needed talent.
