But while most positions were impacted by the departures one way or another, one among them remained strong — in fact, it might have gotten even better over the last few months: that . position is, of course, running back. Not only did the world champions retain its core players from last year, they also added significant depth.The current group therefore consists of the following players:Michel, White, Burkhead and Develin were all part of 2018’s rushing attack as well, with Harris a third-round pick added to the equation and Bolden brought back into the fold after a one-year stint with the Miami Dolphins (Brossette and Johnson are rookie free agent and NFL Pathway Program signees, respectively). Together White John Hannah Jerseys , they give the Patriots one of the deepest running back groups in the entire NFL.SB Nation’s Christian D’Andrea sees it the same way and recently ranked New England’s backfield as the second best in the league behind only the San Francisco 49ers’. “Tom Brady doesn’t have an impressive array of wideout and tight end targets to throw to in 2019,” he wrote in his rationale behind the ranking. “That’s OK, because he has one of the league’s deepest backfields to bail him out.”There is plenty of truth to this statement. While the Patriots have been on the forefront of the NFL’s passing trend ever since Brady grew into his own as a starter, the team has recently found plenty of success when trying to be more balanced in its attack:Patriots run/pass ratios, 2014-present SeasonRun %Pass %ResultSeasonRun %Pass %ResultThe current personnel and investments in players like Sony Michel and Damien Harris in the last two drafts are further proof that New England is willing to run the football in a time when passing is the preferred method of moving a football in the league. And with Brady still at the quarterback position, the Patriots’ passing game should also not be counted out despite some serious personnel turnover.However, the running back corps has the depth and talent to complement the aerial attack well — and the 2018 postseason serves as the perfect example for that. New England did not shy away from trying to establish a running game early in each of its contests, and it helped them slow down some of the NFL’s most prolific offenses along the way: the Patriots controlled time of possession and the overall tempo in each of their three playoff games.Don’t be surprised if they use a similar approach in 2019 as well; they certainly have the personnel to do just that. “Michel developed into a lead back and playoff hero as a rookie after scoring six touchdowns in three postseason games,” Christian wrote about when breaking down the members of New England’s backfield. “White already owns the record for most receptions in a Super Bowl. Harris, a bit of a surprise pick in the third round, is a ready-made platoon back who averaged more than 6.4 yards per carry in college.”“Rounding that group out is the dual-purpose versatility of Burkhead and the battering ram/space clearer/short route specialist Develin,” he continued before concluding that “[n]o team in the league can throw more different looks at you out of the backfield than the Patriots.” COLORADO SPRINGS John Hannah Jerseys 2019 , Colo. (AP) — Forrest Gregg was remembered Wednesday as a gentle giant who was as comfortable playing Barbie dolls with his daughter as he was playing football for Vince Lombardi.Gregg died Friday at age 85 after a long fight with Parkinson’s, a disease his neurologist and family believe might have been triggered by the countless concussions he sustained while playing football in the 1950s at SMU and in the NFL from 1956-71.“Forrest Gregg is one of the giants of the game,” Hall of Fame President David Baker said, noting Gregg was one of a handful of players to win six NFL titles in a league that’s celebrating its 100th season. The others are his Packers teammates Herb Adderley and Fuzzy Thurston and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.Gregg’s booming baritone that was reduced to a whisper in his later years reverberated through the First United Methodist Church in Colorado Springs as his Hall of Fame acceptance speech in 1977 was played on two screens above the altar.After playing 14 seasons in Green Bay, Gregg won one more Super Bowl in 1971 in Dallas. He went on to win 75 games in 11 seasons as a head coach in Cleveland, Cincinnati and Green Bay and he took the Bengals to their first Super Bowl during the 1981 season when they lost 26-21 to Joe Montana and the 49ers.Bengals owner Mike Brown was among those who attended the funeral for the man Lombardi once called “the finest football player I ever coached.”In an interview with The Associated Press in 2013, Gregg said “the finest bunch of players I was ever around,” weren’t Lombardi’s Packers or Tom Landry’s Cowboys but “the courageous kids at SMU.” They went just 3-19 from 1989-90 after Gregg was hired at his alma mater to restore integrity to a program that was handed the “death penalty” in the mid-1980s for paying players.Baker spoke at the funeral, as did Hall of Fame receiver James Lofton, who played for Gregg in Green Bay, and Greg Gardner, who was among two dozen ex-SMU players who stood at one point to sing “Varsity” in a moving moment at the public church service that preceded a private burial.Lofton said he saw another side of Gregg upon his retirement when Gregg White Irving Fryar Jerseys , who was then the athletic director at SMU, invited him to bring his three young children to a basketball game. Afterward, they went up to Gregg’s office, “and he bounced my kids on his knee and I’m thinking, where’d this guy come from?”“The image that a lot of Packers fans, a lot of people, might have of Forrest Gregg is that iconic picture of Forrest covered in mud ,” Lofton said. “What I saw that day I think is what people in this room saw. We saw a loving father, a loving husband, a loving grandfather. I saw a loving man, someone that I respected, someone that I loved.”Gregg’s daughter Irving Fryar Jerseys 2019 , Karen Gregg Spehar, said her father was every bit the family man that he was the football man.“At his core, his life was about love,” she said.She shared some of her most poignant memories of her childhood when her father gladly attended her tea parties.She recalled “a giant smiling man sitting across from me, our pinkie fingers raised just so.”In addition to his daughter, Gregg, who was born Oct. 18, 1933, in Birthright, Texas, is survived by Barbara, his wife of 59 years White James White Jerseys , his son, Forrest Gregg Jr., and his son-in-law, James H. Spehar.Gregg, who earned the nickname “Iron Man” for playing in a then-record 188 consecutive games during his career, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in October 2011. He quickly embarked on a campaign to raise public awareness about the incurable disease, teaming with the AP to reveal his diagnosis so he could urge others to seek treatment early enough to delay the degenerative effects.His daughter said after the funeral that the family donated his brain to Boston University’s CTE Center, which conducts research on chronic traumatic encephalopathy and other long-term consequences of repetitive brain trauma in athletes and military personnel.“We decided as a family to donate his brain to Boston University because we are not sure what’s going on with his brain as far as either Parkinson’s or CTE because of his repetitive concussion syndrome that he experienced in football,” Gregg Spehar said. “So we are going to find in eight months to a year really what happened with his brain.“And we will share that report with anybody who wants to know so that people can learn about what happens in the world of football and also what happens with Parkinson’s in the brain,” she said. “So, we are hoping that his ultimate gift with be a gift that helps more people.”
