Great Start For Blount

Coach Belichick is not one to dwell on statistics, especially when it coms to individual ones. LeGarette Blount is leading the league in rushing after three weeks. Some of his numbers are a result of running the ball to eat up time. He had several long runs which skew the total.

When Tom Brady returns, the running game will be less. Blount's opportunities to run will also decrease. The Pats need to know they can run the ball when they want to.

If Blount ends up with 1,000 yards on the season, it will be because it was in the best interest of the team.
