""Relative to what Stevenson should be able to do, he's about 50, 60, 65% of himself.""
""We've had some good runs, we've had some pitiful ones, too," Mike Vrabel said on Monday. "We just have to make sure that there's a consistency, that we're coaching the details, that we're coaching the demeanor. "(We need to) understand that it's going to be some dirty runs in there and that we're going to have to make a guy miss or break a tackle ... and be able to do all those while taking care of the football and trying to move the line of scrimmage. Probably wished we had some more production in the run game there at the end (of Sunday's game).""
The Patriots lead the AFC East but face a significant rushing deficiency despite prolific passing from Drake Maye. New England gained only 73 yards on 31 carries in Week 6, averaging 2.4 yards per carry, and ranks 32nd in expected points added per rush and success rate per rush, and 29th in yards per rush. Coaching emphasis centers on consistency, technique, breaking tackles, protecting the football and moving the line of scrimmage. Rhamondre Stevenson appears limited relative to expectations, and TreVeyon Henderson must improve, otherwise the team may pursue an impactful running back before the Nov. 4 trade deadline.
