Patriots trade Olympian/ RB Demps for Blount from Tampa

+

Blount, in case you don't know, is a big bodied power back who showed flashes of greatness early in his career but fell off last year with the emergence of Doug Martin. At minimum he is a 3rd down short yardage/ goal line RB at his best he has flashed as a feature back. He also happens to be fabulous in pass protection. With the Dolphins drafting Dion Jordan to couple with Wake and add to the solid rookie year that Vernon had, maybe Bellicheck is starting to play chess with us a little. Maybe we are quietly becoming a viable opponent right in their own division.
