Addai shouldn't stunt Patriots' young RBs

The New England Patriots signed veteran running back Joseph Addai this weekend. The move should add a veteran presence to a young group of tailbacks that include second-year players Shane Vereen and Stevan Ridley. Here are some additional thoughts on the move: I'm not big on this signing. Addai averaged 3.7 yards per carry last season. Yards per carry is important in New England, because the Patriots will pass a lot this season and there won't be many carries to go around.
