"We go with all of them, and we'll use all of them. He's valuable in protection, and when teams start blitzing and heat this up, it's critical that somebody protects the quarterback. And they can go short-yardage instances and around the goal line, and we mix carries up. So everybody's go"
"The biggest problem continues to be ball security, particularly with running back Rhamondre Stevenson, who has now lost three fumbles in three games."
"He isn't the only one turning the ball over, but he has been the most egregious, with multiple fumbles in the red zone."
The Patriots remain in roster-rebuilding mode and showed progress with a key home win over the Bills but still face lingering issues. Ball security is the primary concern, highlighted by running back Rhamondre Stevenson losing three fumbles in three games and coughing up multiple red-zone possessions. Fan calls for benching intensified after a Week 5 Sunday Night Football matchup, even though Stevenson scored two touchdowns in that game. Head coach Mike Vrabel insists on keeping Stevenson active, stressing his protection value against blitzes, his short-yardage and goal-line role, and plans to continue mixing carries among the backfield group.
