Patriot Homers..Whose starting at RB (1 Viewer)

[Stryker]

Have you guys heard anything on the Pats RB situation???

Warriors Forever knows so ask him...

From what I have seen from this site and others.

BGE will get 60-70 percent of the carries, with Faulk and Evans getting the rest.

Faulk in on all passing situations.

 

[Stryker]

Alright, thanks, so based on this information, do you start Green-Ellis this week?

Alright, thanks, so based on this information, do you start Green-Ellis this week?

If my other option is Fred Taylor?Ya, sureIf my other option is Steve Slaton?Probably not

Agreed with this assessment.Expect BJGE on first down, and to have him come out on half of the passing downs as I'm not sure he's matured enough as a pass blocker yet to be a full-time RB. Faulk and Evans are much safer bets to block, but BJGE is probably the best "workhouse" back of the 3. Guy can really lay out punishing hits to linebackers.

With Jackson likely limited, I'm choosing between J. Lews and Green Ellis. Based on the matchup I'm learning towards Green Ellis.

 

[Stryker]

WEll, referring to that guys question above, i have Fred Taylor, BJGE, or Leon Washington, so kinda stuck, but i may lean towards BJGE based on everything i have been receiving.

In PPR, Id start Faulk without question. Non-PPR is a tougher decision. I'm thinking Evans could get the goaline work, so it could cut some of BGE's production. Probably best to just avoid the situation this week. But if you can't, I'd probably choose BGE over Faulk.

Just like a woman, can't let anything go. Just keep solidifying your d-bag-nessChachi never gave me a link to back up his claim BJ was startingMy guess- BJ on 60%, Faulk on 3rd downs, someone else gets goal line I wouldnt start him

 

[plymkr]

What about Jon stewart over BJGE (since people are asking?) And over Boldin (I could go 3 wide) Anyone? I've changed it 3 times.

 

[Jibkiller06]

I'm starting BJGE since Reggie Bush is out, ADP is on bye for me. I still got MJD, MBIII, and LenDale so I have some safety.

I have Leon Washington on the bench since I perfer BJGE chances since he'll probly touch the ball more between the 2.

Heath Evans is the play here

Certainly a possiblity. The Pats have gone with Evans in the past in similar banged-up backfield situations. And he's likely to get his share of goal-line work.

Just curious. Why doesn't anyone think that Obi Ben Kenobi Green Ellis is going to get goal line work? Sammy got it. Why does Belichek make the change now?

In PPR leagues, I'd start Faulk of GE.

Link? Seriously, I just want to know why 3 people who posted on this topic think that BJGE is going to get pulled on the goal line. Is this just pure speculation? Has Belichek done this before and if so when? Every indication from what I saw in the second half of the Bronco game shows that he wont getted pulled, Faulk will have a limited role and Evens will be a fanasy football non-factor. I'm asking someone to prove me wrong here.

The Broncos game was a blowout. Hard to draw too many conclusions from the second half of that game.

So where can we draw the conclusion that Evans is going to be the goal line back?

As for the goaline situation, my educated opinion, that's it.

 

[Workhorse]

Well, back in the '07 game against the Bills when Faulk and Maroney got hurt, Belichick went with Evans over Kyle Eckel for the majority of the carries - I see this as a similar kind of situation although BJGE has more talent than Eckel at first glance. That's the precedent.

:whoosh: As for the goaline situation, my educated opinion, that's it.

Fair enough. Just looking for some precedence.

I'm no insider, but I expect him to get his opps in both GL and passing situations.

Thank you.BJGE was the guy that hammered in the last Patriots TD from the 1 yard line! He was not only the "between the 20s" runner once Morris left, he was also the "goal line back" once Morris left. I suspect he'll be getting about 20 rushes, and maybe 2 or 3 passes thrown his way this game.

I have this Jarvis character and am inserting him in a Bushless Rb slot over my other choice, Kevin Smith. But I am horrified I am relying on trying to read what BB will do. Evans? Faulk? BGE? Some other unnamed practice squad guy? Anyone who reliably states they know who is going to get the rock and how much, is blowing smoke. Not sure last weeks blowout is a great prognosticator of what will happen today. I am just hoping NE gets up in this game and then starts running the clock down. That scenario give best chance for this upstart in NE.

Agreed. But last week is the most recent source available to us as to what COULD happen. I don't recall seeing Heath Evans very much. This week could be a different story. I don't see why though.

 

[treat88]

Don't overthink this one:

Green-Ellis is the 1/2 down HB

Faulk is the 3rd down and COP back

Evans is the FB and #2 HB

Unless a hot hand emerges, situational playcalling will dictate things from there.

 

[rawdog]

So what's verybody thinking on Faulk today. Chance to outgain BJGE w/ his receiving totals?
