Pretty sure Zeke will be the backup. If not, that’s good news for everyone else in the division because Stevenson is much better than Zeke. 

He is still a very good back up. He can get the tough yards, convert short yardage runs for first downs, and score TDs in the red zone. 

 

It's a nice pick up for NE. Still they are behind the talent curve in the AFC East. However, they won't be an easy out either.

Klein's snaps just went up. 


And Rapp for Taron.  That’s the counter for 12 personnel and 21 or even heavy 11 run teams.  Rapp’s a thumper.

 

As far as Zeke, he has a job so good for him.  I don’t know if he’s shot, but he’s not the featured back anymore.  He’s the complimentary guy.

Zeke is a nice backup, solid pickup but not really moving the needle much. He last was a true "workhorse" RB1 in 2019. The last three seasons he has been pretty average. Pollard surpassed him in 2021 as the more efficient back. From my limited time watching the Cowboys last season it seemed like Zeke was still a decent back but just far from the elite player he once was. I think in NE he will have a decent run, he is just 28 and his workload the past 2-3 seasons has declined a bit so he isn't someone with a ton of wear and tear so to speak. 

 

TLDR: Not a bad move but not a dynamic needle mover either.

I know he is a "big name" but he seems shot.....good for the Patriots.  THey have almst infinite money to spend if they want when you look at the next couple years and what they have on the books

 

This is a "fan" move.

The Pats are going to do what you have to do, go exactly the opposite of the rest of the league.  They will beat you down with the run game and limit the snaps of the opposing offense.  It’s brilliant to cover for their lack of talent.
