Bullet73 4 Posted September 30, 2013 I think Ridley looked really good last night too. Outside of the long run by Blount, he looked like he always has. Â I'd look for Ridley's load to increase in the next game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snatchit 108 Posted October 1, 2013 Bolden is way moore talented than Blount, he justr got hurt.. I wonder if Goodsen is a better stash than Bolden ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullet73 4 Posted October 1, 2013 Bolden is way moore talented than Blount, he justr got hurt.. I wonder if Goodsen is a better stash than Bolden ? It is a toss up. Both are one injury away from having significant time on the field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snatchit 108 Posted October 1, 2013 It is a toss up. Both are one injury away from having significant time on the field. ya that's true, guess I will keep Bolden and Ridley for that very reason. I couldn't get anything from them right now anyways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullet73 4 Posted October 1, 2013 ya that's true, guess I will keep Bolden and Ridley for that very reason. I couldn't get anything from them right now anyways I think the catch is Goodson is the better back in a lesser offense, where as Bolden is an average back in a very good offense.

Dsausage 36 Posted October 1, 2013 While everyone was blowing their FA$ load last week on Bolden, I snuck in and got Blount for 2 bucks. Whatever, I don't buy it. Before that game he has done JACK! Take out one run and he's nothing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larry David 20 Posted October 1, 2013 I think Ridley looked really good last night too. Outside of the long run by Blount, he looked like he always has. Â I'd look for Ridley's load to increase in the next game. Â I've been hearing that for three games now. I agree that he looked good on Sunday night. He showed some burst on the first couple of drives. So of course, Belicheck then brings in Bolden for the goal line duty and, after a long drive by the Falcons giving Ridley plenty of time to rest, he brings in Blount. Until Ridley starts playing in at least 50% of his team's offensive snaps, he's on my bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colonel Hogan 0 Posted October 1, 2013 Only 5 games until Vereen returns, and it wasn't like he had a lower body injury. Don't you have to think he starts Week 11? (with a healthy dose of Blount when it's time to finish the game in the 4th qtr) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LoOnAtIk 75 Posted October 1, 2013 Whatever, I don't buy it. Before that game he has done JACK! Take out one run and he's nothing... Â If blount was worthless and bolden was so talented why did belicheat waste a trade on bringing blount to the patriots? It's common sense guys he obviously likes something in blount. Maybe he sees another Corey Dillon type in him. Ridley is still the starter but blount is clearly the #2 IMO. Even when vereen gets back blount is still more of a true feature back, vereen is more of sproles type weapon on passing downs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGotWorms 3,430 Posted October 1, 2013 Blount is the guy they like to put in late when holding a lead. Â Bolden is the passing back in Vereen's absence, but he always gets hurt. Â Ridley is the guy they'd like to have out there early in the game and then getting spelled by Blount late. But he's had a tough go of it with the fumbling issues, not having Gronk as a blocker, defenses focusing on the run more while Brady gets on the same page with his receivers, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giants Fan 85 Posted October 2, 2013 Sure  Look, I did not take Blount because I thought he would have a good week. I grabbed Blount because he is the most physical, smash mouth (no pun intended) RB on that team. Other's have said why they think Blount is the eventual RB in that system this year, and it makes a lot of sense. I took Blount, hoping I can start him week 8. And for $2 ... before he got expensive. If you want to be good at FF ... you gotta be a step ahead of the competition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giants Fan 85 Posted October 2, 2013 The Dillon comparison is appropriate. Imagine if the Patriots had a RB that could run it up the gut effectively. Blount has the size, the power and the initial burst of speed ... reminds me of Bryce Brown. He passes the eyeball test for your standard powerback ... which Ridley, Bolden and Washington are not. Â Â P.S. I think he got that first down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giants Fan 85 Posted October 2, 2013 heavy bad word warning: Â Â Keep it real ... yo. Â The kid is putting up quite the highlight reel .... for being worthless in PPR. Apparently, he has caught some balls before. I suspect, the Patriots brass has already seen this tape. Â They don't have a power back that can wear down defenses ... besides Blount. Bellicheat knows this, and will give Blount more work. Â Is there another RB for the Patriots that scored a rushing TD this year? No ... there isn't. Â That's why I picked him up last week. Believe it. Worth getting off waivers NOW! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giants Fan 85 Posted October 2, 2013 Again, I am in a no trade league so pimping Blount doesn't help me. Â I just think he has more potential, short term than people realize. I can be honest about that, because I already own him. I think he is the most talented back on that team when it comes to pure running skills. Â Lotta teams ... would like to have that same potential. He's similar to Bryce Brown ... who ... you should see his highlight reel. Problem with Bryce Brown is ... he's on the same team as Lesesan McCoy, who's even better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
