Current Patriots’ Offense More Potent than the 2007 Version

I know that’s hard to believe right? The New England Patriots went undefeated during the 2007 regular season with Tom Brady and Randy Moss setting a few records along the way. How could an offense that went undefeated during the regular season in 2007 be even more dangerous now, especially after losing a speedster and play-making weapon like Moss from its arsenal?

Before Dallas Called, Morris Thought His Career Was Over

A few years ago, the Cowboys had a running back problem. The problem was, they had too many, each with a unique skill set, and never seemed all that certain how to distribute carries between them. These were the bygone days of Smash, Tash’ and Dash, referring to Marion Barber, Tashard Choice and Felix Jones. Now, the team has much the opposite problem. Felix is the only of the...
