Yes, I know. Reiss reported earlier in the day that Taylor would undergo surgery and that it wouldn't be season-ending. Gasper reported later this evening that he did undergo surgery and that it WOULD be season-ending. Critical difference. New thread.

There are many feature backs that are better if they are given more reps. Maroney has averaged over 4.5 yards per game when he carries 20 times in a game. He averaged over 4.4 yards a carry in his first two seasons. He doesn't do great when he carries under ten times a game.

We have a couple of reasonable options
OPTION 1 - Make Maroney the starter and primary running back.
OPTION 2 - Have Maroney and Morris share the primary load

In either case, Faulk's role wouldn't change. Nor would the role of Green-Ellis, other than his being more likely to be activated.

Sometimes they are not always at the No. 1 position, but I don’t think you pass up good football players to get the guys who aren’t as good just because they’re at a position that somebody feels you need.”

If he did drive himself home, then it was done under local anesthesia (like at the dentist), not general anesthesia ( when they put you to sleep). If they put you to sleep, you are generally drowsy for several hours after you wake up and they won't let you drive for the obvious potential liability issues should you have an accident.
I hope it's a good sign .............

As with Mayo and all the others, they do a good job of keeping us in the dark. Nothing will be announced except what appears in the transactions or, more likely, the injury report, where he will be "out" until he isn't .
