"I don't think that the players at the same position are necessarily in competition with each other," Belichick said. "We want to keep the best players and that may be a balanced roster or not. It may include a few more players at one position and a few less at anoth er. "All of our running backs have been productive." Jordan, entering his eighth sea son, had a strong opening game. He rushed for 76 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries in New England's 16-15 loss to Baltimore, missed the next two games with an undisclosed injury but said Tuesday he had no restrictions in practice. "I know the backfield is crowd ed but I've also said I know what I'm capable of doing," he said. "Unfortunately, I had this setback with the injury this past couple of weeks. But once they make their decision what they're going to do, if I'm here it's just up to me to make sure that come Sunday I'm at my best." Morris also had played seven seasons when the Patriots signed him on March 3, 2007. He rushed for 384 yards and three touch downs in six games before going on injured reserve but said Tuesday he's fully recovered. With so many running backs carrying the ball in exhibition games, it can be difficult to get into a rhythm. "A lot of it is established in practice," Morris said. "I guess, especially in preseason, we actu ally get more reps or more car ries than we do in the actual game. I think it puts the onus a little more individually to go out and execute with the limited amount of actual game reps." Maroney, more elusive than Jordan and Morris, is in his third season. Faulk's 323 receptions in his eight years are the most by a running back in club history. "We probably have one of the deepest backfields in the league," Jordan said. "The thing about us is that we all bring something dif ferent to the table, which gives the defense a different look." With Tom Brady throwing an NFL-record 50 passes last sea son, the Patriots led the league in overall offense and yards passing. They were 13th in rushing. They have plenty of options to improve their ground game. By Saturday afternoon, Belichick must decide how many of those options will still be with the team. He also must decide who to keep at other positions. Many decisions have been made and those still trying to impress him will have one last chance Thursday night. "If you are running a race with a guy and he is a lap ahead of you and you have a strong fmish, you are still going to finish behind him," Belichick said. "If you are neck and neck with the guy and you have a strong finish then you beat him and it makes a lot of dif ference. ------ page 20 The Observer + SPORTS Wednesday, August 27, 2008 and contribute," Connelly said. .Junior Lindsey Ferguson and Health sophomore Marissa Treece are Dew continued from page 24 expected to be among the continued from page 24 fastest finishers this season. imated us.
