http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3939283 I know he is old, but he is still scary. Title: Re: Fred Taylor to The Pats Post by: YoFuggedaboutit on February 27, 2009, 01:21:34 pm He'll be good for like 10-15 touches per game. The Pats need depth at RB. They were down to their fourth stringer at the end of last season..... one big reason why they didn't get into the playoffs.

Uh, the running game isn't why New England missed the playoffs last year. While they were down to their third stringer for a couple game, the Pats were 6th in the NFL in total rushing last year. 2,278 yards and they averaged 4.4 yards per carry. They gained almost 400 more yards than Miami did last year...and Miami made the playoffs. New England missed the playoffs due to stupid penalties in three games that cost them field position - and a defense that couldn't stop anyone. Not because they couldn't run the ball. Only 5 teams in the entire league ran it better last year. Title: Re: Fred Taylor to The Pats Post by: Fau Teixeira on February 27, 2009, 02:27:23 pm so is this signing inconsequential ?
Title: Re: Fred Taylor to The Pats Post by: SportsChick on February 27, 2009, 02:30:36 pm It gives them more depth and another insurance policy against Maroney. He also handles the ball very well (I think I heard something like 11 lost fumbles in 2400 carries?)
Title: Re: Fred Taylor to The Pats Post by: MaineDolFan on February 27, 2009, 02:31:23 pm Nope. I think it makes a good running game even better. NE had a great running attack with their top RB on the shelf for most of the season. I think he played in three games. This gives them more depth and makes them much more dangerous, especially in goal line and 3rd and short situations.
Title: Re: Fred Taylor to The Pats Post by: stinkfish on February 27, 2009, 02:52:50 pm So what do the Patsies do with Faulk?
Title: Re: Fred Taylor to The Pats Post by: MaineDolFan on February 27, 2009, 03:04:19 pm Keep him.
It's Lamont Jordan that will be gone. Title: Re: Fred Taylor to The Pats Post by: RJINTAMPA on July 14, 2009, 05:32:34 pm As a die hard Jags fan, I hope Fred Taylor can raise his status a little to get into the HOF.
Title: Re: Fred Taylor to The Pats Post by: Pats2006 on July 14, 2009, 08:28:30 pm So what do the Patsies do with Faulk? Faulk will no go any where. One of the best under rated RB that non Pats fans know about. All I will say is he is a goto RB. He's does not have crazy numbers, but he fits into the Pats play book. I cant recall how many games it would be 3rd and 10, 4th - 20 and Falk would get it done. Title: Re: Fred Taylor to The Pats Post by: Defense54 on July 21, 2009, 07:24:24 pm Pats fans should be more worried about who was gonna play QB after TFB goes down for good. 8)
