The Boys Are Back

This week we will see the return of two talented, versatile players. Percy Harvin of the Seattle Seahawks, and Shane Vereen of the New England Patriots. Both of these players are huge weapons that improve bot offenses substantially.
Harvin, a five year player out of Florida, showed the league that he is a big play machine. Minnesota did everything they could to get the ball in his hands, whether it be through the running game, passing game or special teams. Last year, in just nine games, Harvin accumulated 62 receptions for 677 yards (10.91 yards per catch). He also rushed for 96 yards and took one kickoff to the house. fans all around the league are waiting to see how he will be integrated into a powerhouse of an offense. I have seen Russel Wilson become a great game manager over the past two seasons, but I can't wait to see how he performs with a deep threat like Harvin.
The Patriots lost Danny Woodhead to the Chargers, but istantly found a replacement, Shane Vereen. it is a true asset when you have a running back with speed and agility who can also make an impact in the passing game like Vereen can. Last year,Vereen totaled 251 rushing yards on 62 carries for three touchdowns. Also, as previously noted, Vereen was a huge weapon in the passing game. he caught eight passes for 149 yards, which averages out to a whopping 18.6 yards per catch! With the Patriots passing game being as weak as it is this year due to injuries and departures from many of Bradys key targets, Shane Vereen should see plenty of balls coming his way. Look for both him and Percy Harvin to take the league by storm from here on out and most likely into the post season.
