This Years' Opposing Running Backs

[belichick010405]

I don't know if anyone has noticed but this years' opposing running backs are going to be a real good indicator of how well our linebacking corp, particularly Jamie Collins, is going to be able to cover these guys in space.

Arian Foster/Ben Tate
CJ Spiller
Doug Martin
Ray Rice/Bernard Pierce
Stephen Jackson/Jacquizz Rodgers
Trent Richardson
Giovani Bernard/The Law Firm
Darren Sproles
Mike Goodson

along with Lamar Miller, Jonathan Stewart/DeAngelo Williams, Montee Ball/Ronnie Hillman.

This is the list of probable opposing running backs that the Pats have to face this year. What say you?

Well, going against this defense, a lot of teams that are capable are probably going to come out with a pass-heavy plan of attack, particularly featuring TE's and RB's until the Patriots prove that their capable of stopping it. That's a daunting list of RB's for anyone to face, but the Pats had a very good run defense last season and I don't see any reason why they would have fallen off.
