Apparently former Panthers 2014 6th round pick Tyler Gaffney broke off a 44 yard TD in the preseason for the Patriots. 

Quote

Some background: The running back was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in 2014 but tore his meniscus before training camp and was waived with the intention of being placed on injured reserve. Bill Belichick wagged his finger like Dikembe Mutombo and blocked Gaffney from hitting IR by claiming him and storing him on the Patriots’ 90-man roster throughout the summer of 2014 before placing him on injured reserve when he no longer had to pass through waivers.

Oh Belichick. Wonder if Gaffney had stayed healthy what the RB room would look like right now.

    • Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.  
    • I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.  
    • Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
