Kroft isn’t a big loss, we haven’t relied on him yet nor will we. I also doubt he has the tackle breaking ability of Knox. Singletary, that’s concerning. They didn’t add a RB so I fully expected Singletary to practice today. They cannot go into another game with Gore and Yeldon, especially with Gore’s age. Have to sign Marcus Murphy back IMO.

Dang it! REALLY hoping to have Singletary on Sunday. 

Either he is injured enough to have no true shot at playing on Sunday, or he is so close to coming back they want to take it really easy on him.


Not sure which it is!

Honestly- I used to like Yeldon- not so much anymore. Lacks burst, runs high, carries the ball wrong and fumbles.  I would rather have Murphy over Yeldon.

Singletary is a big loss. Gore is a great between the tackles runner. Zero ability to take it to the house. Hoping maybe they are giving as much rest as possible. If he can’t go then they will need to get creative. Just no more end arounds on short yardage please. 

Knox is good and  I think Kroft is going to be a good addition too.

I wouldnt say Singletary is concerning, with hamstrings its better to make doubly sure its OK before going out there again. Hamstrings feel fine after a few days and then as soon as you go out and try and play on it again it pulls...this time a little worse than before...

 

I know all too well...repeated the above process in college playing soccer and football about 4 or 5 times until it ended up partially tearing and i was on the ground screaming in pain.

Surprised? Pulling up lame with a hamstring is never good. I’d be surprised if he plays before the bye week. 

 

Donald Jones once said if you are talking care of your body and getting the right treatments you should never have hamstring. Wonder what he meant.

 

yeah coming back before it’s ready usually costs more tie off of the field.

I was thinking multiple weeks when I saw it happen. Was encouraged when McDermott said day-to-day instead of week-to-week but my hopes aren’t raised up for him to be back anytime soon.

Yeldon was originally given a spot to fill a niche. That's a pass catcher out of the backfield. He is a heck of a recievers for a RB. And with Singletary having question marks there is makes sense why he is on the team.

Wade sounds good on 1 level, but bad on another. In such a big game if youre the coach, i don't think you want to bring in a player as raw as him, with zero regular season game experience, to play vs the Patriots in such a huge game. It just doesnt sound like something he'd want to do.

 

But we definitely shouldn't & cant go into this game with just Gore & Yeldon. A strong running game will be key to our success & Gore could get injured, Yeldon could have fumbleitis or we just need that change of pace back that can add some speed & shiftiness back there. I'd be surprised if we don't have Devin or someone else named to play soon.

I think they are being very cautious.  While we all would love to win this game - realistically it’s going to be hard to challenge for the AFC East title with NE.   It makes you wonder if they would rather make sure he is recovered than rushing him into a game, which at this point in the season, isn’t that important

I assume he means take care of your body. They are paid to do that and a muscle pull means they are doing something improperly. I’m sure they get amazing treatments but a pulled muscle is no joke.

 Foolish, we should've signed Murphy a week ago??

T.J. Yeldon is the only real option. Has to play better...

Murphy is twice the RB of Yeldon. I think they thought they would throw to him more and they haven't? Marcus knows the entire playbook and you could plug him in behind Gore. I agree to be careful with Singletary.  If he's not 100%, don't risk making the hammy worse. Not contacting MM is very confusing?
