Phil Simms 11 127 Posted September 29, 2021 With White out for season, who assumes pass catching duties? Bolden has been around, but he’s always been pretty average. JJ Taylor has been active, is he a decent receiver? Stevenson- the preseason darling to the doghouse, he’ll likely be active again so maybe he gets another chance. Or Smith and Henry just get all those targets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snatchit 108 Posted September 30, 2021 I believe JJ will take Whites spot... they love him ! Harris will be the lead hammer, and Stevenson will be his direct back up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Simms 11 127 Posted September 30, 2021 I picked up JJ earlier today, Stevenson available in a couple days so I’ll keep one of them to see what happens this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,460 Posted September 30, 2021 I think it will be Boldin with the rookie at Qb, protecting the rookie would be important role , and JJ who I think has much more talent then Bolden with his experience would be the one they would trust. Everyone thing else is just coach speak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone thing else is just coach speak. We will see, this team is desperate for some juice.. they have none with Boldin. I think you are wrong on this one weepaws, no way Boldin will be a large part of their plan. Maybe a bit more this week, but thats it. Harris and Stevens will be their thunder, and JJ the lightning. I would imagine they are excited about that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,460 Posted September 30, 2021 I’m sure I’ll be wrong some games and right some games. I know one thing about the Pats rb situation, it’s never the same game to game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Utilit99 4,099 Posted September 30, 2021 Pretty solid team player James White has been. 8 years in the league so far. Whenever he hangs it up and retires, he can look back and say it was all a successful career. Throw in 3 rings as icing on the cake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't start him against Tampa, but he should be good this year. He will be a bit positive game-script dependent; big deficits will take him out of game situations but they will feed him with leads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted September 30, 2021 The main thing that will keep Harris out of the lineup is his current deficiencies in pass protection. If he cleans that up, he's a bellcow, and if he doesn't, it stays ugly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justforbeer 39 Posted September 30, 2021 I have a hunch that R. Stevenson will be the feature back by midseason....maybe sooner. If I had room, I would consider putting him on the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although this year, just about every running backs going to get an injury. I think the lack of preseason games and the longer season just increases the odds. Maybe it will be fumbles, maybe it will be making mistakes like missing a pass protection. Things happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again, there are many reasons why another RB takes over lead duties. In New England, you fumble a few times and your gone. Miss pass protection or screw up or get stuffed 3x at the goal line. Next man up. Stevenson just may surprise some people. Again, just my hunch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
