This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It allows them to take advantage of mismatches by pmcdnd96
If they have Develin (a very good blocking fullback who can catch) in the game and the defense responds by bringing in big players, the Patriots can split him out and even empty the backfield and create a nightmare for the defense to cover (one of their RBs James White is an outstanding receiver; Edelman can't be covered by one person, nor can Gronkowski.) If the defense stays in a base or some other DB-heavy personnel grouping, the Patriots can run well because their o-line is good and Gronkowski is one of the better blocking tight ends I've ever seen.
