Shane Vereen Works With Patriots First Team, Pushing Stevan Ridley for Lead Role in Backfield
The departure of BenJarvus Green-Ellis in free agency opened up a big chunk of carries in the Patriots' backfield, and Shane Vereen appears determined to fight for every touch. While many expected Stevan Ridley or newly signed Joseph Addai to pick up some of Green Ellis' carries, it was Vereen who was working with the first team offense this week, according to the Boston...

According to the Boston Herald, running back Shane Vereen was the New England Patriots starter during OTA’s. Right now we don’t know if this means he’ll be the number one back going forward, but it is a sign that the Patriots have some confidence in him.

ESPN Boston’s Mike Reiss tried to help make sense of the mess.

Shane Vereen and Stevan Ridley expected to get the bulk of the carries for Patriots
Though they signed veteran running back Joseph Addai, ESPN Boston’s Mike Reiss believes that 2nd year players Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen will get the “bulk of the carries” for the Patriots this year. This would make the most sense, but Bill Belichick is often unpredictable with his running backs and tends to go with experience over anything, which Addai represents. As it...

Will Lloyd’s arrival in New England leave Ochocinco jobless?
In 15 games during the 2011 NFL regular season New England Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco was uncharacteristically out of sync.

Dowling has barely played in the last 2 seasons because of injury, dating back to his senior season in college at Virginia in 2010. Injury concerns are what dropped him to the 2nd round of the 2011 NFL Draft, where the Patriots took a chance on him. After getting next to nothing from him in 2011, the Patriots are hoping that Dowling can be their nickel cornerback behind Devin McCourty...
