    LeGarrette Blount Back to the Patriots

    And he got a two-year contract no less. Surprising considering all the recent noise about his character issues, I don't think he is a good enough running back to make him worth the headaches.

    The Patriots did lose their premiere running back due to injury.
    Blount did perform well last year on this team.

    Colts missed out on Tate and Blount

    Why do they have faith in Trent?

    Tom Brady has mind control over Blount.

    Blount did OK with the Pat's, I was surprised when thet let him go considering he is not a big money guy. With him Gray and Devlin it's like we have three fulls backs,very unusual in today's NFL. I'm not sure anybody even uses a fullback anymore. Devlin is the only one listed as that.

    He put on a show so he can get released. It's the media that likes to label players bad and good.

    very good question...he looks like he is in slow motion when he's running.

    It's a league minimum deal with incentives, through his whole career NE was the only place he didn't get into/cause trouble including college. Gray is a good kid with a big heart, but blount is just as big and can outrun people in the open field Gray cannot Love the 2 year signing with Vareen, Ridley and White all being FA's end of this year

    Blounts about 25lbs heavier than Gray..league minimum, knows the offense and pats used him very well, he avgd 5 yds per carry, just a new layer to a dynamic offense

    Belichick never should have released Blount in the first place.
    As soon as I heard he was cut by Steelers, the first thought in my mind
    was for Pats to sign him back, only potential obstacle being would Blount
    even agree to it, as he was released by them.
    Belichick is lucky that Blount didn't harbour enough ill feelings to turn him down.

    Looks like Luck will have to throw 60 passes every game. There run game will be non existent.

    Well, I guess he got 201 yards crawling with the ball??? Vereen is not really a running back, more a swing pass, screen type guy. White??? Who??? Must be like Amendola, appears on the roster, but not on the field. LOL.

    Amendola made fantastic catch to win game vs Jets.
    It's not his fault he's not getting enough grabs.

    An absolute waste of a player. Definitely much happier he is gone from Pittsburgh.

    Another option for them when deciding on which backs will be part of weekly gameplan. Likely to step in as kick returner. Plus a minimal deal that is team friendly.

    Pats have 5 RBs on their roster. Colts could have used Blount after losing Bradshaw for the season.

    Colts didn't want the headache.

    Blount is a cancer.

    Two things: you have to hold onto the ball when they throw it to you, and you have to be on the field to get it thrown to you.
    He has played in 10 games this year, he has 11 (ELEVEN) receptions on the year for a Whopping 95 yards. He makes an average salary with the Pats of $5,700,000.00. That equates to $518,181.00 per catch. Your hero. LOL.

    Good pickup, if he gets out of line they can cut him with hardly any cap impact.

    Really not a Patriots fan but I really have to respect that decision. These guys are professionals and professionals need to show up to work on time. If I showed up to work late I would be sent home regardless of my performance. The Patriots could of used Gray at practice but they resisted the temptation and did the right thing.
