Besides Blunt... nobody outside of Boston knows those guys' names either. Unless you're some kind of fantasy football junkie. LOL

And Fisher has had his freaking hands full with running backs lately. In person, on film, AND over the phone.
I mean, that's fine, but I'd hope that the head coach would at least know who the offensive weapons are on the team he'll be facing in four days. It's not like the modern NFL doesn't normally see ten-plus touches out of the change-of-pace backs.

If Fisher is gameplanning for Brandon Bolden and Danny Woodhead, something is way off the rails.

You should go back and just concentrate on the last 4 words of my post.

And please,,, don't get so offended just because your stable of RBs has 2 guys nobody's ever heard of. Sheeeezzz

Brady will barely be touched because Belicheck will have a game plan that works . Fisher can beat the NFC West and that's where it ends .

Hardly offended, I don't care if people have heard of them or not so long as they catch and run the ball effectively. I honestly don't know what you mean by "AND over the phone," all's I'm saying is that I guarantee Bill Belichick knows who Benny Cunningham and Malcom Brown are. Hell, he's probably intimately familiar with the tendencies of Chase Reynolds - nothing gets Belichick more excited than a hard-nosed special teams role player.

Y'all need to jettison Fisher. That's the only thing I'm pointing at, and this appears to be a lack of preparedness for an upcoming opponent that underscores the need.

Well... you're missing out on some quality humor then.

It appears that ole Belicheat is rubbing off on you.

Sigh

Brady doesn't play well when opponents D's get in his Face, he can plan on us trying to do just that!! The one thing that worries me about this game is how well our D plays against their TE's!!

My guess is Gronk is only going to be used in blocking situations due to his injury, like they have done in previous games. Also the weaker they think the opponent is the less of Gronk you will see. Bennett can be a beast but they frequently will keep him in to pass block because there oline is so bad.

I hate that you are posting what you are posting but you are correct. As for the RB situation, I think you guys will stick with Blount. Ogletree and Barron should be able to cover White out of the backfield and Lewis if he is playing. Not sure on the Lewis situation.

Typical Rams game imo we get up early
Three nice drives from our offense .. BB adjusts fisher reverts to our (Can't) run game .. D melts ....

I really hope I'm wrong would love for double G (Goff and Gurley) to tear em apart but I can't see it

Lewis has played in the last two games. Not quite what he was pre-injury, but still shifty and dangerous.
