Vereen came out of nowhere to start week7 (though was 3rd in total snaps played behind woodhead and ridley) but still got 9 touches and 60 yds. Afterwards Belichek insinuated that Vereen's PT will increase regardless of injuries to other guys. But is this just coachspeak from the next master of confusion by committee?
Things that Vereen has going for him are that he was a 2nd round pick last yr, apparently ran with the first team during OTAs, and has looked like a more complete back than Ridley in what limited time he has been healthy. If he's over the injuries, I think it's possible he makes a Demaryius Thomas-like surge in the 2nd half of this season. THe problem is that he has been on the shelf for so long that very little is known about the guy and his place on the team.
Any insight here Pats homers?
