Patriots: Defense leads the way to fifth straight win for suddenly surging Pats

November 19, 2021

PHOTO: Brynn Anderson/AP Photos Since giving up 567 yards to the Cowboys and falling two games below .500, the Patriots have become a completely different team. The defense has given up a total of 1,273 yards during a five game winning streak. It seems like a big number, but it’s actually an average of just 254.6 yards per game.

For everyone like me who would rather watch a 38-35 game over a 24-21 game, we may be out of luck when watching the Patriots this season.

The Patriots offensive line and running backs were completely dominant on Thursday night in a 35-0 preseason win over Philadelphia. Now, in…

No matter who the Patriots quarterback is this season, their job may be a lot easier. Not because of the wide receivers or tight ends they signed and not just because of their outstanding offensive line, but because this group of running backs may be one of the best in the NFL and it was on display Thursday night. Led by rookie Rhamondre Stevenson (127 yards, 2 TD’s, one for…

Patriots Training Camp: Running Backs Preview

August 6, 2021

Image courtesy of Getty Images For years, the Patriots offense was centered around Tom Brady and throwing the football. Then, things shifted philosophically during the 2018 season. The emphasis was on running the football more. Bill Belichick used the team’s two first round picks in that draft on offensive tackle Isaiah Wynn and running back Sony Michel, both out of Georgia.

Patriots Draft: Player Profile: Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, Oklahoma

May 1, 2021

Rhamondre Stevenson is one of the few running backs in this draft who has size, is an elite level pass blocker and can contribute in the passing game. Stevenson wasn’t the guy all the time for the Sooners but when he finally got his opportunity to be the lead back, he capitalized on it. Stevenson rushed for 1,100 yards and 13 touchdowns in his career in a rotational role. He……
