Comcast NE Sports Tonight @ 6:30 pm when asked to predict the surprises of this camp, Troy Brown said, on the upside Kevin Faulk looks better than he has in years. He is under 200 LBS and looks quicker and shiftier.

On the downside his surprise cut of camp pick is Laurence Maroney.

I almost laughed when brown said that... No way he will get cut. Morris and taylor are walking injuries. Sorry I don't want BJGE carrying the load this year

I am not surprised with that. I do not know how much more you could possibly accomplish when you are benched during a playoff game.

BradyFTW!

Misleading title, to say the least. There's a difference between tossing him out there as a 'surprise candidate' (that happens every year), and stating that it's actually going to happen.

It would be retarded when all it leaves you with is two old, injury prone guys (Taylor and Morris), Faulk and a journeyman. Morris or Taylor is far more likely to be gone IMO although I expect all 4 to make it. The only out I give myself on saying it would be retarded is if Maroney has a terrible problem with fumbling in the pre-season but despite the bad timing of some fumbles last year he generally hasn't been a fumbler. I would be bitterly disappointed if this were to happen.

Also agree with BFTW, this thread title is awful.

if maroney is cut i will LMAO when all the pats RB's are over 30 and taylor, and morris, are injured by mid season and the only RB's on the roster are law firm and kevin faulk, who is not and never was a ever down RB.

"Troy. It's Bill. Hey look � I need to light a nice big fire under Maroney's butt, so next time you do that media thing, stir it up a bit, OK?"

"You got Bingo, Bill."

"Thanks, Troy."

.
If Maroney gets cut, then that 2006 draft class was the worst ever under Belichick, and the reason why we've had a championship drought.

Maroney has shown flashes that he can play, and is improving as a runner by hesitating less in the backfield, but he still is nowhere close to earning a new contract paying starter-level running back money after his current contract expires this year.

PATSYLICIOUS

Wouldn't make sense, who's out there that would top his production for equal/less salary than his?

Agreed with the above posters who thinks the thread title is misleading

I see Maroney as one of the most important players on the team. All we have behind him is age and injury. He's the only back on the roster than can take a handoff and break one for 50.

I would say every running back on the roster not named Kevin Faulk is much more likely to be cut that than Maroney.
