I love the way this guy runs, he is a lot more illusive than he is given credit for, and he runs hard. I would like to see him start getting 5 to 10 touches per game, whether it be some draws, swing passes, or even between the tackles in short yardage situations. Thoughts?

Indeed! Reminds of Brian Lenoard.

Rex is never going to be the featured back and the only way that's going to happen is if both Geo and Hill go down with injuries and if that happens I think we'll find him pretty darn average at best. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

I think Rex has been good enough when called upon to deserve a few more looks.

I agree Rex is a great scat back, I would give those 5-7 touched you mentioned to Gio....
Rex in the slot with some trick plays would be nice..
With all that being said, Rex is the type of player the Patriots would love to have in the Welker/Edelman/Amendola role

Didn't get to see him run yesterday cause my stream froze but he must of closed the game well.
Always liked Rex, he is very good insurance and i would like to see him more in different roles as a trick player for us.
