Yes on all. At what level and how many snaps each plays is a huge question mark. Could definitely see Jones on the sideline for the first couple series, maybe the first quarter, but he’ll be in there eventually and with Sheard now it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Hopefully it all lights a major fire under his ass to prove something. If Chandler goes off he could take over the game.

Even a homer blogger like me can admit that if Edelman, Gronk and Hightower are shells of their usual selves there’s a good chance the Pats season is ending tomorrow night. The whole team needs their best game of the season and I really have no idea what to expect other than that whoever is in there will play their ass off down to the end.

You’re probably asking the wrong guy because I’d prefer to never see Bolden get another carry in his Patriots career. Not to knock the guy, he’s as good as they get on special teams and that is vitally important. 

He’s just not a playmaker. He knows the offense and might chip in with one or two decent plays when the defense loses him, but he’s not going to break tackles or make people miss.

While I am predicting James White to be a big part of the gameplan I still do think Bolden gets some touches unless Steven Jackson suddenly absorbed a large chunk of the playbook. All three will have some plays designed for them, but ideally I’d like to see it broken down – White 60% of snaps, Jackson 30%, Bolden 10%.
