James White emerging as another option for Pats

Iosefa played his college ball at the University of Hawaii. White continues to be the clear passing-down back, and he could be heavily used in Week 16 against the Jets, who are allowing the fewest rushing yards per game and have allowed the fewest rushing touchdowns this season. He signed to the Patriots’ practice squad in October.

Iosefa and the Patriots took on a Titans team that played most of the game without quarterback Marcus Mariota, who was injured in the second quater of the game and did not return.

“I just go with whatever the coach wants me to do”, he said. He’s listed at 6-foot tall and weighs 247 pounds, so it would seem that he would be a bruiser, not a breakaway threat. Alternatively, the Patriots could very well have been grooming Iosefa to back-up Bolden’s role on special teams for the past couple of months, so Bolden could receive an expanded role.

Iosefa will bolster a New England backfield that lost LeGarrette Blount for the season with a hip injury last week.

“I’m playing for everybody that helped me out throughout this whole process”, Iosefa told KITV. I think all of it requires a lot of practice and a lot of us being on the same page. The performance highlighted a stellar effort by New England’s front-seven, which tallied five sacks on the afternoon, including a forced fumble by Chandler Jones that led to a touchdown for Akiem Hicks after recovering the loose ball. He was released by Tampa Bay on August 30, 2015.

The Pats face decisions on how much to rest players in the final two regular-season games, and while they have clinched a playoff bye they have not yet clinched the top overall seed. “You’ve just got to be mentally tough and put aside whatever you can and just kind of move forward and try to play as best as you can”. “He’s got a good heart and I think everybody on the team is just happy to see him do well”. You know, it’s going to be a lot of hard work.

But there’s no mistaking that Iosefa made a very loud impression Sunday. “He’s been working his butt off all year, maybe says two words a day, comes out and works hard and keeps to himself”.
