Fred Taylor really had it right when he was quoted as saying: "This game is for the younger guys".
No doubt that Taylor will be turning 35 during the week of the AFC Championship game if the Pats ever get to that point. Time is really hanging over his head as well as Sammy Morris (33) and Kevin Faulke (34).
This is the oldest backfield in the league. Let's not forget Laurence Maroney (25), BenJavris Green-Ellis (25) and Chris Taylor (26).
They won't carry more than four backs on the active roster. I have no idea how this will end up, but two of these six guys will not be around when the season opens.
That is one of the harsh realities of the NFL. At this point, I don't think anyone has a roster spot. I think the four pre-season games will tell a lot about who makes the final roster.
