RoadFan Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 truthfully, that's a big loss for them. Doesn't mean they'll suck but he's been a legit weapon. O-line in shambles. Most dangerous RB done. Somebody needs to dive at the knee of Brady... not Mariota. Yeah, that means you Olivier! Only injury that will make a big difference. Gronk would make a moderate difference.

PFSIKH Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 One of 4 likely candidates: James White, Brandon Bolden, Travaris Cadet or Dri Archer. I would speculatively guess the last two. White has not done sh*t for two seasons. Why expect something now. Bolden is a great on Special Teams, but he to could have stepped up. He did have a nice catch though. No one is going to replace Lewis' elusiveness. Production can be compensated by more throws to LaFell not that he is back. The Patriots are not as good, but it is not like they lost Brady or Gronk. I am more concerne3d with the OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 No big deal. As we saw when they played us, they don't need a running game. Dumpoff passes to Edelman, and Welker before him, is their primary means of "running the ball" anyway. Anything they do from the RB position is supplementary. The Patriots figured out a long time ago, that with the way the new rules are constructed, a WR in the flat usually has 1 man to beat on his first move, and has the benefit of the rules providing a few yards for the receiver-turned-runner to beat his man. Every advantage goes to the WR. There's no reliance on run blocking, just the occasional pick-play. Far better chances for YAC as a "running game", when compared to running the ball up the middle into a team's front-7. That's why their offensive line holds for 2 seconds, and Brady gets the ball out in 2 seconds. Far fewer holding calls when this is your offenses equivalent to a handoff or running play. When they run the ball, the traditional way, it's usually just to get the game over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bolden can do the job. He is a plodder like the Law Firm but with solid hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what they decide to do at kicker. bailey is safe, he played well and they are thin at safety. ridley didn't get in the game, neither did mcdougle. your boy got 10 reps ahead of mcdougle. I think they IR folk. you were right, milliner can be transferred to IR, ending his season. that would be something, a 1st round pick getting put on the shelf.

Bailey has a high ankle sprain and will be out for an undetermined amount of time. He's expendable at this point. I don't think the can afford to keep Milliner on the IR. They need bodies in the secondary with Cro 50/50 and Skrine obviously still hurt. Milliner could probably at least be a body on specials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
