Return of Faulk

It will be good to see RB Kevin Faulk back on the field after missing more than a year after knee surgery. Faulk is the only member of the team who was a draft choice of former coach Pete Carroll.

He is the team's all-time leader in all purpose years, return yards and kick return yards. He holds numerous other team records, including most receptions by a running back.

He brings another dimension to the team with his uncanny ability on third and short. He is also a great blocker in the backfield.

His activation comes at the expense of third year WR Julien Edeleman. After a great rookie year, Edeleman has struggled to regain that form.

Coach Belichick has always said that the third year is the most important year of a player's development.

Faulk knows that the end is near. Every game is a bonus for him at this point. Edelman must be wondering what is going on with his status on the team.
