Maroney debate threads (MERGED) - New England Patriots Forums

I know Green-Ellis was playing the second stringers, but the guy has power and speed when he runs and Maroney was less than impressive tonight so I say, and I may be going out on a limb here, make BJGE the starting RB or at least get a majority of the carries with Morris...let Maroney fight for scraps...

BJGE was playing against the 2nd and 3rd stringers.. So, yeah, he looked good..

So did Morris... running against the 2nd stringers...

I didn't see the 1st string O-line opening many holes.. Oh.. do you know how many of Maroney's carries were for negative yardage tonight? NONE..

i think you should wait and see on this before you make this judgment. it was his first game back from a pretty bad injury. i do agree that letting maroney battle is a good idea, but to thnk BJGE is better based on tonight's performance is probably a little premature

Morris got stuffed on a two run shot at getting a first down against the Eagles backups, but that's ignored by the Maroney bashers.

I guess it's preseason for Patsfans.com as well.

I thought the chat was a lot better (before it lagged out on me). You can yell at the Chicken Littles in live motion.

I went to the chat until the system died the first time. I figured once was enough for an exhibition game.

I would love to see Maroney in KR. He was great his rookie year, and his skill set is great in the open field. You have to keep a talent like Maroney on this team. Period.

gee whiz. I can't even watch the game till tomorrow, but judging from all the comments on the board tonight, maybe i shouldnt bother. After ONE preseason game, the Pats suck!

somebody post that pic about the sky falling
