I was a little suspicious when the Pats put Maroney on IR...

now i see why, this kid can run, and produces...maroney could have prob played again this yr...but with this kind of runner, why?

Keep in mind the Broncos defense is horrible.

True. But, I thought he looked good and deserved a roster spot back in August. He looked solid tonight, and I am curious to see what happens next for him.

Nice bit of running but the Denver run D is quite terrible.
We might need to lean on the kid sooner than later though with Maroney to IR and Morris injured along with Jordan.

He certainly looked good, but let's wait and see how he does against a team which isn't so defensively inept.

Certainly seemed to have a good motor, always driving for that extra yard - which I would expect from an undrafted rookie trying to prove himself when given a shot.

yeah the broncos D is bad, but at least he ran hard. For his first "real" outing I think he did rather well.

I think Maroney might have Katzenmoyer syndrome.

Green-Ellis looked like a mid-round tailback. Drove hard, plays faster than he his, didn't do the best job of recognizing holes. That is expected of a rookie, though. Didn't have the best cuts when he should have gone against the grain, but he hit the holes hard. He can play ball, but he's no stud.

I thought BJGE showed some good moves tonight, and showed some power to boot. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Hilarious first career touchdown. He could have crawled in. I don't think Evans(?)could find anyone to block. Funny stuff.
