KD in CA Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Players come out of retirement to play for the Pats. He'll probably get 100 yards vs the Bills. Well sure, but he'll get 12 vs. the Ravens or Titans in the playoffs. I'm happy to see the Pats keep getting older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 And watch as he suddenly becomes an all-world RB again under the Patriots mysterious "conditioning" program that somehow turns wash-ups into Pro-Bowlers.... I don't know that he actually is washed up. He rushed for 1,200 yards in 2007 and averaged 5.4 yards per carry that year. Plus, he had four runs of over 50 yards, including one that went for 80. I'm sure he's starting to slow down, but I doubt he's lost that much in such a short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the HGH regiment you're talking about? I heard Bellicheck brews his own batches at the complex... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor seems to fit that description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 RB's lose it pretty quick. Taylor seems to fit that description. He's still good, and still probably has more burst than an average back (he used to have AP-like burst, lest we forget). He's never really fit any model. He's had a ton of injuries that people always comment on, but he always comes back. He's had a pretty amazing career, actually. Great signing by the Pats. Really.
