When it comes to the 2020 NFL season, there are a lot of unknowns. We don't yet know when teams will collectively gather at their facilities, if and when training camps will actually happen, what the preseason will look like, whether or not fans will be in stadiums for regular season games, or, if we're being totally honest, how many regular season games there will even be, a suming the season does get underway at some point.One thing we do know for sure, though, is that whenever the 2020 season does begin, the will look a lot different than they have in quite some time. We know that for the first time in nearly two decades, the Pats won't have under center, and we know that it's likely will replace him there. There has been a bunch of speculation about how the shift from Brady to Stidham will affect New England's offense, but not much of it Derrick Favors Jersey has focused on what it will mean for the team's backfield situation.With Brady at quarterback, the Patriots almost always deployed their backs in a committee. Pro-Football-Reference.com has snap-count data going back to 2012, and only twice in that span did any Patriots running back see the field for more than 50 percent of the team's offensive snaps. There were more seasons during that same span where the Pats used at least three different backs on at least 20 percent of their snaps.One of those seasons was in 2019, when New England gave 42.7 percent of the snaps while Bojan Bogdanovic Jersey also handing 36.6 percent to and 23.0 percent to . The division of labor was fairly clear: White was the pa s-catching back, and the Patriots pa sed 84 percent of the time when he was on the field; Michel was the power back, and New England ran the ball 66 percent of the time when he was in the game; and Burkhead was the pa s-catching back whose presence was slightly le s of a tell than that of White, as the Pats pa sed 68 percent of the time with Burkhead on the field.Having those designated roles made sense with Brady under center, as he had shown a consistent ability to utilize pa s-catching backs like White (and and Kevin Faulk before him) to take advantage of linebackers and safeties in coverage, identifying the mismatch before the snap and getting the ball out quickly in order to afford him time and space to run after the catch. Whether Stidham can do the same is an open question. In his two years as the starter at Auburn, his running backs combined for only 60 catches -- just 12.3 percent of the team's total. By contrast, Donovan Mitchell Jersey White, Burkhead, and Michel combined for 29.8 percent of New England's catches last year. If Stidham is not as willing or able to throw to backs as often as Brady was, that dramatically reduces the utility and effectivene s of two of New England's three top backs, and of White, in particular. White has never carried the ball more than 123 times in a season, and his career average of just 4.1 yards per carry is below average for the modern . Burkhead's career high is 74 carries, and he, too, carries a career average of just 4.1 yards per tote. Michel is the only one of the trio with extensive ball-carrying experience, and he was dramatically le s effective last season (3.7 yards per carry) than he was as a rookie in 2018 Andrei Kirilenko Jersey (4.5 per carry).Michel is also reportedly recovering from , according to a report from ESPN.com, and may even have to begin training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Michel has also been hobbled by several knee injuries since he entered the league, and they seemed to have an effect on his performance last year. If Stidham can't properly utilize White and/or Burkhead and Michel is not the same player, the Patriots may have to turn a significantly larger role than expected to 2018 third-round pick , who played all of five offensive snaps for them last season despite Michel's repeated struggles. That does not seem like an advantageous situation for them to be in.In the background of these various i sues is the drop-off the Patriots experienced last season in their run-blocking, as they fell out of the top-10 in Pro Football Focus' run-blocking grades for the first time in five years and saw 21 percent of their rush attempts stopped at or behind the line Tony Bradley Jersey of scrimmage, per Football Outsiders. Getting center back on the field should help, and staying healthy for the first time would be a boost as well, but the retirement of legendary offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia could conceivably offset those gains. That's what happened the last time Scarnecchia retired, after all. This would all be le s of a concern if we could expect the Patriots to have a top-flight pa sing game that can threaten defenses down the field and provide some more space for the backs, but considering the state of the pa sing game last season, the probable downgrade at quarterback, and the lack of any real deep threat among the wide receivers, that seems fairly unlikely. The Patriots figure to try to execute a ball-control style of offense while counting on their defense to keep them in games, but that becomes considerably more difficult once you take a deeper look at their backfield situation.

GREEN BAY, Wis. In the Green Bay Packers quest to reinvent their pa sing game following the trade of Davante Adams, Samori Toure has always played fourth fiddle.Hes not the former fourth overall pick of the draft, like veteran Sammy Watkins.Hes not the receiver with the freakish physical toolbox, like second-round pick Christian Watson.Hes not the receiver who made a bunch of big plays to start training camp, like fourth-round pick Romeo Doubs.Rather, Toure was a seventh-round pick. Not only was he the last of the Packers 11 draft picks but he was the last of 28 receivers selected overall.From Day 1, though, Toure has shown up, made plays and caught just about everything in sight. He scored a touchdown on Family Night, caught three pa ses for 42 yards against the 49ers in the preseason opener on Friday night and closed Day 2 of joint practices against the Saints with a bang on Wednesday.Im just really trying to get into my rhythm and get a feel for Darius Miller Jersey how the NFL works, Toure said after Wednesdays practice. I feel like Ive been doing a pretty good JJ Redick Jersey job but I still have a lot of stuff I need to improve on.Toure opened his career at Montana. After redshirting in 2016, he caught 155 pa ses for 2,488 yards and 20 touchdowns the next three seasons. When COVID wiped out the 2020 FCS season, Toure decided to take his game up a level by transferring to Nebraska. Playing a lot in the slot and running more deep routes than most receivers, Toure caught 46 pa ses for 898 yards (19.5 average) and five touchdowns.Toure wasnt invited to the Scouting Combine, ran a 4.48 in the 40 at pro day and took a predraft visit to Green Bay, which made him the fifth-to-last pick in the draft. Scroll to ContinueAt Nebraska, Toure ranked third in the nation with four caches of 60-plus yards. That long-ball prowe s has shown up periodically at training camp, including a two-minute drill to conclude Wednesdays practice against the Saints. On first-and-10 at midfield, Toure lined up in the right slow and ran a post. He got past the secondary and caught Jordan Loves bomb for a touchdown. Thats something I prided myself on, being a deep threat, stretch the field, Toure said. Im glad I was able to do that today.The celebration was short-lived. The offense stayed on the field for a two-point conversion and the win.Thats a game situation. We want to win the game, Toure said. That touchdown doesnt matter if we dont get the two-point conversion. Got to stay locked in, got to stay focused.At the snap, Love sprinted out to the right and fired a ball to Toure against tight coverage for the conversion. It was a big-time play and, while maybe not as flashy, much more difficult. I really just ran an out route, Toure said. I think the dude kind of grabbed my hand and tipped the ball but I New Orleans Pelicans Jersey ended up catching it off the tip.After a strong finish to Wednesdays practice, Toure is going to need a strong finish to training camp. The veteran trio of Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb and Watkins, 2021 third-round pick Amari Rodgers and the rookie duo of Watson and Doubs figure to command six spots on the roster. That could be it on the final 53. Or, they could keep seven. In that case, it would Toure vs. Juwann Winfree for that last spot.Toures big day came one day after Aaron Rodgers challenged the teams young receivers and hours after Rodgers and the receivers met to discu s the need for them to . Rodgers public challenge Lonzo Ball Jersey on Tuesday and meeting-room reminder on Wednesday about all the legends that have played receiver for the Packers didnt add any pre sure, Toure said. I feel pre sure just because this is the highest level of football, he said. At the same time, I dont let the pre sure get to my head and neither do the other receivers. We just kind of look at it as a challenge.Related Stories
