how many alarm clocks you think he now has in his apartment?

With how attached everyone is to their phone, how the fuck do you let the battery die????

Easy excuse, forgot to set alarm sounds too lame.

Battery died sounds more the phones fault than Gray's own.

Minor semantics I know.

I still have a fucking flip phone and manage to get up on time each day.

jeesh,...I'm up at 4:30/5-am every morning,...if I ever ''over-slept'' it's because I just got home around 6-am and slept till 9-am [maybe?],...once it's daylight = I'm up.

I miss my flip phone.

I do not use a phone for an alarm clock, I use an alarm clock as an alarm clock.
Electric, battery back up, atomic clock accurate.

Plus, I'm from New England so the weather doesn't slow me down either.

 

[{+}Mother-Marge{+}]

I guess I'm ~blessed~ with a built-in alarm in my brain,.....I only sleep for 4/5 hrs., and I never could sleep soundly in the ~day-light~....except for an occasional cat-nap,....~meow~.

Jonas Gray 11 rushes - 62 yards
Blount 8 rushes - 17 yards
Brady 3 rushes - 18 yards
Vereen 6 rushes - 5 yards
See a pattern?????

Running backs are more effective when well rested?

When Blount was set up behind Brady, the Dolphins put 8 in the box to stop the run. It was successful.


When Gray was behind Brady, the Dolphins defense had to play honest because Gray is quicker and can catch passes. Defense was bit more loose when Gray carried.


Vareen is not a typical every down back and he has to pick his holes carefully. There were not very many holes for him to run through.


Most important, the Patriots offensive line was horrible in their run blocking today and t5hey sucked in pass blocking in the first half.


Gray and Blount are good/complimentary backs.

 

[Sgthall999]

I agree that both backs compliment each other. Blount with a bit more power and Gray who is shiftier and hits the holes quicker.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Vereen really hasn't done anything running the ball lately. Like to see Blount and Gray share the load for the last two games. That will keep them fresh and sharp hopefully going into the playoffs. Give Vereen a could carries and bring him in on 3rd down.

Bingo!

 

[Southieinnc]

gray is not a dedicated part of the offense at this time. The O-line is dinged up and we are trying to take some load off them and get healthy for the playoffs. When we get to the playoffs, we'll attack with the run more. We'll block with the tight ends and Develin at fullback. Bring back the power running game where Gray will run through the holes.....

 

[BigKen]

Word on NESN last night is that the regular offense and defense will start against the Bills. No one is sure for how or how many series they'll play. The way everything is being downplayed, I'd assume that the starters will play the first quarter and a bit of the second. From then on, it'll be a crapshoot.


Garappolo will finally get a couple of chances to throw the ball against a pretty formidable defense. Tyms, Wright, Amendola, Merino will get plenty of playing time.


Then everybody gets a week off to heal and relax.

 

[Southieinnc]

Gray is out (ankle) and Vereen and Blount are dinged up.
Time for Brandon Bolden.....
