Re: Law Firm (BJGE) ran pretty well yesterday too.
I haven't exactly been high on the kid in the past, but he played awfully well yesterday. Granted, not until the blowout was well in hand, but I don't buy that it was all the weather and the Titans' D. The Titans were excellent against the run going into yesterday's game, and it apparently never occurred to the DC to go all-out against the pass (they never stopped single-covering Moss, which I guess explains how Brady got 5 TDs in the second quarter...).
Maroney and BJGE both ran extremely well behind an offensive line that was plowing the way for them, which just suggests to me that it was the offensive line that worked out the kinks and got things turned around. Vollmer and Mankins were crushing guys out there.
I wouldn't read anything into him getting more carries than Maroney, though- once the game was out of hand, Maroney came out simply because the Pats can't afford to lose him. When you only have 1 of your 3 feature RBs left, you're not going to waste him in blowout wins like that. BJGE was there to pick up the remaining carries, but he showed an awful lot in doing it well.
