here u go has anyone ever figured out what bb WILL DO
Because he rarely/never does it in crunch time. His prime time record/performance is abysmal
Seems to be his mantra every year.
Still seems to end up as a top 12 fantasy QB most of the time.
Cousins is the Rodney Dangerfield of QB.
if you've got the bench room, not a bad stash, especially if your roster has expanded in the offseason and you've got 6 weeks to cut it down. If nothing has changed, its an fairly easy cut, and if something has happened, you've already got him.
As I've laid out a few times before, BB history strongly suggests that when he has an alpha back, he has no problems giving that guy 100-150-200+ more carries than the others. Kevin Mack, Leroy Hoard, Antwaine Smith, Corey Dillon, Maroney, BJE, Ridley, Blount, Michel---in fact, there are more years in his history suggesting the reality is a true lead back and a small committee COP back type backfield than there are that suggest this widely overblown theory of 'you never know what NE's is going to do" is actually reality. More often than not, any year end numbers suggesting full blown committees, generally came about due to injuries to one or more of the backs.here u go has anyone ever figured out what bb WILL DO
NBC's Peter King believes Rhamondre Stevenson will get the "bulk of the carries" for the Patriots this season.
King visited Patriots camp this week. King goes as far as to say Stevenson will be the "RB1" by mid-season. It's a bold proclamation, though King also acknowledges that since this is the Pats, no back is going to come out and gobble up something like 300 carries. Stevenson saw far more work than a typical rookie Patriots back in 2021 and has been raising eyebrows with his pass catching so far this summer. Damien Harris is in the final year of his rookie deal. The intrigue increases.
Seasons where a RB averaged 15+ attempts/game under BB
If you check those other 13, , I'm willing to bet most of them were due to injuries...very few were by design, and those that were, well, he worked with what he had. I.e..no '3 down' back on the roster
He had James White last few years. He was a third down back.
no, not 3rd down back..a three down back..or even a true "lead type"
As an exanple..2007, TB12 tosses 50 TD's, Maroney and S. Morris averaged 16+ carries a game, both only played about half the season so they didn't show up on this list. But, Maroney had 100 more carries than anyone else on the team ..thus, there was zero question that when he was healthy, he was the guy running the ball. And even when he wasn't healthy, there was still one guy doing the heavy lifting, Morris.
They both had 14.2 attempts/game that year, which is why they didn't show up. Morris only played 6 games and had 85 carries; Maroney played 13 and had 185.
In fact since I don't own Harris either I hope they split the early down work right down the middle and James White plays every damn 3rd down.
Don't think I own any shares of Stevenson any more, he's all @TREFF now.Hell Treff I don't know why you're trying to convince the rest of us, either you or Harold already own him in every damn league so all the rest of us hope he sucks.
Dunno where I got 16??
I ain't trying to convince anyone of anything about any individual player..it's this portrayal of Belichicks RB's as always being a crapshoot...it isn't, and rarely has been, he usually rides one, and it's pretty right in your face in the numbers, you just have to look, rather than have those few outlying years were it was a shitsohw define your thinking.Hell Treff I don't know why you're trying to convince the rest of us, either you or Harold already own him in every damn league so all the rest of us hope he sucks.
is 16 carries the norm now for a lead back? problem fantasy wise with BB is he plays the hot hand and u dont know who that will be most times and it a great way to keep other teams in the dark
