[Reiss] Jerod Mayo, to @scottzolak, on Patriots All-Access regarding his plans at RB on Sunday: “Had a conversation with Rhamondre [Stevenson] and he won’t be starting … I’ll be upfront and transparent. But he will play. And he understands he has to protect the football going forward…”
October 5, 2024
Following his comments earlier in the week, Mayo has indeed benched Rhamondre Stevenson. However, he’ll at least play against the Dolphins so he won’t be benched like Stevan Ridley.

Being upfront and transparent isn’t the best thing to be when the other team is trying to game plan against you.
I don’t think “benched” means what you think it means. Benched means you aren’t playing at all, sometimes only if someone gets injured. Not starting means you aren’t beginning the game on the field on the 1st drive and likely aren’t getting a majority of throughout the game.
wtf is this, I get the fumbles are bad but this dude is also like the only talented player on offense
Well duh, Stevenson (aside from the fumbles) is our best player on our offense. And with an offense as depleted as ours we can’t afford to bench a player of his caliber for the whole game. Gibson has been decent at times, but it could be a recipe for disaster asking Hasty to play a bigger role than he normally does. Which would be the case if Gibson starts and Hasty is asked to come in every time Gibson steps off the field.
Probably should have been sat last week, ffs 4 straight weeks of fumbles.
Man this sub will bitch about anything.
This makes perfect sense to show Rhamondre he has to be better but we can’t afford to not play our best offensive weapon the entire game.
And the outrage about giving away the game plan is hilarious.
RBs are dime a dozen, we can get one in the third with equal or greater performance. For some reason, the oline can’t pass pro worth shit but is seemingly decent for the run.
I get Rhamondre is good and but he is not in that tier of running back where teams are game planning for him. This doesn’t change the dolphins game plan at all.
The Tank 2.0 is in full effect now
So Mayo’s plan is to replace him with….. a guy who fumbles almost as much as Stevenson? Brilliant!
Nothing wrong with the move. Tbh should’ve prolly got this message after game 2 or definitely 3. 4 games of fumbles in each is unacceptable period. Hopefully he doesn’t fumble when he gets in the game lmao.
If you were going to bench him should’ve done it in the blowout loss
So he’s benching our best offensive player after a series of bad plays. When is he gonna bench our worst offensive player (brissett) after being dogshit for 4 straight games plus pre season??
We don’t need fucking transparency, this isn’t a Boeing shareholders meeting.

When does Jacoby get benched for being awful at football
Any other tips he wants to give the opposing team?
Mayo confuses being “up front” with the media and being “standup”. Bill was right. You share it’s a competitive advantage.
Let’s have a run first offense with a lead back who hasn’t been the number 1 back for a full season. Put people who don’t play LT at LT.
What could go wrong.
He’s had a fumble in the past 5 games, he’s definitely got to figure it out. He also is one of our best players so that makes it tough
We are a day late instead of a day early on everything now.
Have to say it, I don’t like Jerod as a head coach. He doesn’t seem ready.
Pathetic. I remember when Jonas Gray got benched the week after scoring 4TDs in one game cause he was late for one practice. Stop trying to be transparent with the media and lock the fuck in.
Nice to see so many shitty fans quickly turning on a good player going through a rough patch. Rooting for Rhamondre to turn it around.
Personally I am in favor of this move.. not just because of the fumbling issues but I think it’s good to get a chance and see what Gibson can do with more touches and targets.
