Re: Maroney -- 23 plays, 15 carries, 18 touches
Though I've had a hard time deciding what I think of him, I like the way Maroney's playing. His aggressive style is still developing and I think the fumbles are a result of his adjusting to this running style, and with some coaching, I think the fumbling problem should go away. If someone could turn Tiki "Fumbleruski" Barber around, then surely the Pats can right the ship with Maroney. Besides, I think this new turn stems from coaching, so if we can say that he's coachable, that's definitely worth something.
The guy has earned the right to carry the ball more, but getting Taylor back will give the Pats fresh legs in the 4th quarter to get those tough yards that have been so elusive of late.
