the first 7 words of you post tell you all you need to know about why your post makes no sense.I was listening to Florio and Simms this morning and they have a feeling Sony will be cut. Our current RB roster is Sony, Harris, White, Taylor, Stevenson, and Bolden with Johnson and Vitale at FB. We obviously cannot carry everyone here. Who will be cut?
Michel has been with us for the last 3 seasons. In his first 2 he averaged 920" yds per season. Last year when he was splitting the carries 3 ways he averaged 5.7ypc. For his career he's averaged just over 4.3ypc.
Look he's hasn't been a "superstar" RB like everyone expects every first round pick to be, even one chosen at the bottom of the round. He hasn't dazzled or made highlight reel runs. But was he HAS been is a very steady RB who was a major contributor on a superbowl winning team and a key performer his other 2 years.
I agree with the decision that the Pats not pick up his 5th year option, but for 2021, he's just fine. With an offense like ours, you cannot afford not to have 2 healthy quality, run first RB's ready to go for EVERY game. Both Harris and Michel are slashing RB's. I'm hoping that Stephenson will be the hammer we lost when LGB moved on.
My guess is that the Pats will keep Harris, Michel, White, Stephenson and Vitale as the FB with Johnson and Taylor on the PS in case of injuries. Maybe one of Taylor or Jacob makes the team depending on where Bill wants to spend the roster spots
