I don't think workload is going to affect Foster much in terms of his hamstring. You are either ready to cut and go full speed or you are not. My guess is any play count they put Foster on is more about him not having played and Tate having played well. Hopefully Foster never has to play 90% of the snaps this season like he did last year.
As for the game, I think Miami's offense is far worse and their defense far better than week 1 would show. NE exploited there subsititution patterns up front with a no-huddle that nobody else in the NFL could duplicate. They will probably look more like last year's D. With that said, I think we move the ball fine on last year's D.
And there offense was not very good. They had a fired up first drive and then layed an egg while they lost the game in the next 2+ quarters. Then they threw for a bunch of yards late when they had no chance at winning. They also have no ability to run the ball and a pass offense led by chad henne. Not to mention they were awful in the redzone. The yardage total was very misleading.
If we are neutral in the turnover game we win by double figures. If we give the ball away 3Xs, it is anybody's game.
