NE Goal line back (1 Viewer)

Sorry if it's a honda. I know this has probably been discussed but I used the search function and didn't turn anything up.

Do any of the Patriot's homers have a feel for who the goal line back might be this year? In a touchdown heavy league so I'm thinking about getting Morris or Jordan late.

I do not believe there is one. It will depend on the opponent, the situation, the point in the game, etc.

From what I have heard, Jordan and Morris have been practicing goal line and short yardage packages. I take that to be more because neither one has had a lot of experience with the Pats in those situations, not so much that Maroney will automatically be out at the goal line.

So I can see any of Maroney, Morris, Jordan, or Evans getting some short TD attempts. Factor in that Brady loves to hit TEs at the goal line (or LBs playing TD) and the presence of Moss and I don't see any NE RB as a big goal line threat.

Thanks for the input David. That ringing endorsement will have me looking elsewhere for my 17th or 18th pick of the draft.
