Surely doesn't affect how the Patriots will aproach specific opponents, but I thought this was interesting. Maroney low on "depth chart".

Question : why would teams even create depth charts ? Everyone knows it means nothing on Sunday.

I believe the depth charts are done by PFW.. not by Bill Belichick...

Florio garbage. He's got nothing to say, but needs to say something.

This is my read on how Maroney will be used. If the coaching staff senses that the O line has control of the line, then Maroney will get many opportunities. If the line play is neutral or worse, the pounders will be used. As BB says ...it is what it is...we all know his game...indecisive when approaching a clogged LOS.

Apparently Florio missed this at the top of the depth cart page:

Unless Belichick starts letting Paul Perillo and Andy Hart make the depth chart, I doubt this is any real insight into Belichick's real depth chart.

That depth chart is made of glass.

Good one. The top of the chart part is quite telling as well... friggin Florio.

Wow, that depth chart is full of news!

I didn't realize that Sam Aiken is going to be backing up Welker, while Edelman is the understudy for Galloway!

And check it out, Shawn Springs is starting over Wilhite after all.

And the biggest item of all: they're sticking with the 3-4 base. But they must really lack confidence in Woods, because he has 3 backups and Thomas has none. That's pretty scary if Thomas goes down, huh?

News I tell you, NEWS!

Fred can always dream, can't he??

In watching the Titans the other night, I noticed that Chris Johnson looks like a faster duplicate of Maroney. They run the same way, with Maroney having a little more power. The Titans O-line is built for running though, and that makes a huge difference. Maroney just might be successful somewhere else in the NFL.
