[Karen Guregian] With Patriots back struggling, Kevin Faulk shares how he kicked fumbling habit

Pretty cool that Faulk identified what the coaches did about going to the ground and fumbles. I’m confident that Stevenson can turn it around 💪
He needs to do what Tiki Barber did and start carrying the ball up-right.
I’m surprised how no fumble-prone backs are coached to do that, considering how well it worked for him.
Stevenson is no Kevin Fault
I wonder if he’ll put on elbow pads like Faulk had in order to provide more friction when the ball is getting punched at.
Interesting that Faulk doesn’t mention that as helping and mostly points to holding it in one hand and not switching.
Stevenson had better take care of the ball and not fumble it or else he’s gonna have Coach Herman Boone break his foot off in his John Brown hind parts, then he’ll run a mile.
I love Faulk
too lazy to read. what fixed it for him?
One of his last ones was him just letting the ball get too far away from his body. He put his arm out to reach for another yard and lost the ball. Just keep it high and tight. Both arms on the ball when you’re going down or into traffic. He knows these things, he’s just getting lax. When his job is on the line, he’ll make changes.
As Belichick told everyone, ball security is job security.
Kevin Faulk walked so James White could run.
I’ll be honest, as I was skimming the title I initially thought we were bringing Faulk back to play.
