Time for BB to give Benny a chance to help out!!


Fred Taylor is out,  Sammy Morris isn't doing it and Maroney is better catching passes.

 

The last pre-season game saw Benny run for 147 all purpose yards, score 3 touchdowns in a barnburner. Sure, it was the last game of the pre-season, lots of first stringers weren't playing - yada,yada,yada! Nevertheless, none of the other Pats RB's even came close to those numbers during the whole pre-season. I just think that with the running game going nowhere fast, Benjarvis Green-Ellis deserves a shot. If they establish the run against a team like the Titans, it will give Tom a chance to pick the secondary apart. This game will allow the Patriots to get over the hump on the ground and in the air!!   Go Pats!!!!

Gotta love BJGE

I was honestly surprised not to see him play last week. Taylor has been good for the Pats, but when he went down with his ankle I was looking forward to seeing BenJarvus activated and ready to run in Denver.

Keep the faith!

BJGE got special teams snaps

He got on the field, I remember seeing in that Mike Reiss snap breakdown, he just didn’t do it on the offensive side of the ball. Then again, they moved away from the run in the second half, which is when you’d have expected the fresh legs to be necessary.

you're right, he 'played'

but I wanted to see him ‘play’. I should have been clearer the first time. ; )

Keep the faith!

Ah, I figured

but I remember you not being sure whether BJGE was playing at the time of the game because Morris got all the carries. Just thought I’d be extra-helpful. Aha.
