NFL Rumors: Will Aqib Talib Deal Work Out More Like Corey Dillon And Randy Moss Or Albert Haynesworth And Chad Johnson For Patriots?
The New England Patriots have no problem bringing in players who don’t exactly have the best track record. I am not talking about players who have not done well with other teams, but rather ones who have had character concerns or other problems called into question that occur off the field. They brought in Corey Dillon and Randy Moss, and those two helped the Patriots for a few...
Renewed running game gives Pats rare offensive balance
The New England Patriots are running the ball as well through the first month-plus of 2012 as they have at any point dating back to Corey Dillon's franchise-record 1,635 yards in 2004. Second-year back Stevan Ridley leads the way with 490 yards on 102 carries, averaging 4.8 yards a carry. Undrafted rookie Brandon Bolden has chipped in with 206 yards, and change-of-pace back...

It was certainly ugly on both sides of the ball for a good chunk of it but both sides turned it around. Turnovers from the defense and a dominant run game that hasn’t been seen since the days of Corey Dillon led the way.
Stevan Ridley channels Corey Dillon in Patriots win
Stevan Ridley led the way for the New England Patriots on Sunday in their 28-10 win
There was nothing complicated about what the Patriots did on offense in Sunday’s 34-13 victory over the Titans in Tennessee. Simple singleback and shotgun formations were mostly used and the most complicated play was a double play-action attempt. Route combinations complimented each other nicely...
Corey Dillon Isn't the Only Thing Bill Belichick Should Want Back From 2004 Patriots
The Patriots haven't had much of a running game in recent years. Bill Belichick doesn't seem to mind. The way he's talking, in fact, he's just fine without wide receivers, defense, kick returners -- whatever. As long as the wins are rolling in, he says (and they are), he doesn't mind giving up one part of the game if it means racking up points elsewhere. "...
Stevan Ridley’s Moving On Up
That was a good arm workout Juan…
Joe Addai failed his physical and is gonesky. Shane Vereen has been struggling at training camp and Ridley has been turning it on. I have already moved up Ridley in the rankings and if he continues to impress, he may move up even more. I don’t trust Belichick, but he has been known to ride a guy in the past (Corey Dillon).
Ridley Is Kid Friendly...

Here’s a pretty awesome highlight video of former Patriots running back Corey Dillon.
I like to call this a quick stroll down memory lane.
Lastly, I’d like to say that there isn’t too many running backs around in the NFL today that run as hard as Dillon did.

Cedric Benson: The next imperfect Patriot?
It’s often said that history repeats itself and if Cedric Benson joined the New England Patriots in 2012 the statement would again be true. In 2011 Benson eclipsed the coveted 1000 yard milestone for the third consecutive year but his off the field issues and declining numbers has left his future with the Cincinnati Bengals in doubt. Since the end of the season, Benson hasn’t...
