Interesting I wonder if he will get a rash of hell for that? If that is true then what the hell is wrong with him?

Good. I'm glad he said that. If he is healthy and Belicheck is sitting him for no reason is the same reason why Gabriel didn't get along with the coaching staff and his eventual release. I also believe Chad Jackson is healthy as well and is being underused. Bill Belicheck reminds me alot like Phil Jackson of the Los Angeles Lakers. Jackson has never trusted rookies when he was with the Bulls and Lakers. I'm glad Maroney is speaking out and standing up for himself. They kid can play and there is no reason why he should be on the sidelines. Now people on this forum will rip me for this.

Uh that's because they didnt have anyone else at cornerback, he started by default.

I don't think he is sitting anyone for no reason. Who knows maybe its his neck that is injured? But if he is just sitting him I would have to think it is to keep him fresh, but even that doesn't make sense when they had a legitimate shot for a bye last weekend.

I also think CJ is sitting because he is injured and if he isn't, then to me it means he doesn't know WTF he is doing.

Rookies get playing time under BB, Hobbs started for the second half of the season, Mankins started 15 games (?) last season, Gay, Wilson, Samuel, Maroney, Branch, Givens...so I think you jumped the gun on that conclusion.

Yes your right. Mankins is an exception because he was drafted to replace Andruzzi. Hobbs started because of injury as well as Kazcur.

Branch was not a starter but he did get a lot of playing time. Givens didn't start as a rookie. Samuel didn't start as a rookie. Wilson started after the second game of the season by default. I aready explained about Mankins and Gay. Yes I understand that some of these players have started as rookies but most of them have been on the defensive side of the ball. Most rookies that Belicheck drafts on the offensive sided of the ball do not get a lot of playing time their first season.
