[The Patriots pre-game thread -- Week 6 (merge)]

He was so hurt they ran him 19 times on top of 7 to 9 passes. Wasn't that hurt. Nice try but we've been playing great run D all season. We've given up a 100 yard rusher from running backs once and Yeldon barely got that.

Easy.  I wasn't "trying" anything.  Just pointing out that Foster wasn't 100% and is working his way back into to game shape.  The Colts did a nice job of limiting him in the running game- I acknowledged that.  I was just hoping that you might look at those stats through a different lens.  Do you think the Colts "great run D" will prevent the Patriots from having a 100yd rusher?

     Exactly, When was the last time they held Foster under 100 yards rushing?  He had 19 attempts for 41 yards last night, 2.2 avg.  Davis, Butler and Toler will have a good amount of time to heal now and will hopefully be better.  I'm not sure what they can do to improve the rush but it's going to be even harder pressuring  Brady anyway because he's been getting the ball out so fast.  

 

While holding Foster to a 2.2 avg is commendable, you do realize he had groin surgery on Aug 7th, missed the first 3 games of the season and only had 8 carries in week 4 against the Falcons. He's certainly not at 100%.  Just trying to add some context.
