Leonard all the way baby! But I must admit, although Linehan's comments are assuring, should Brian not immediately produce (he will of course), the fans will be screaming for him to be demoted to fullback or at least as the 3rd string halfback. Loathing your own race...disgusting.
Also, although the Patriots drafted some running back out of Central Conn. State in the later rounds, that leaves Evans, Faulk, and Maroney as the only runners left. Maroney has been oft-injured so far, and Evans seemed to get more carries than Faulk in the playoffs, particularly in the Colts game. Faulk's more of a scat/3rd downback anyhow.He's also proven himself as an capable runnerin 2 games as the primary ball carrier. (Looks like he can run a mid-low 4.5 at 250!Ifhe weren't bulked up he'd be great.)He's a phenomenal run blocker, but his running is solid as well. Here's hoping to Evans getting a decent number of carries next year, possibly as the second option. Maroney get injured!
