Boldens success (1 Viewer)

A friend of mine said Boldens success in NE is partly because Hernandez has been sidelined or his he really worth picking up? I hate owning NE RB's but kinda need a RB. IMO his success is because of a) blocking scheme b) offensive efficiency/threat c) blowout victory carries. I think another question would bve will he see more opportunity due to Ridley's fumble...or is it back to the same old.

I have been impressed with Bolden. He has run hard and smart. His lack of speed was a knock on him coming out of college, if I recall correctly, and while he does not appear to have breakaway speed, Bolden has run outside the tackles with some success. A healthy Hernandez and Vereen could cut into his touches, I suppose, but Bolden is certainly worth a roster spot. The other thing to watch is Ridley's propensity to fumble, as that could conceivably lead to an even larger role for Bolden. With the great success NE is having running the ball, I don't see them going away from it any time soon.
