Is 07 Maroney-Morris as good as 06 Dillon-Maroney?

Is the answer clear to you guys? I think Faulk and Evans are set in their roles.

In any case, I don't see the change as an improvement for the pats.

i think it can be
time will def tell though
while morris isnt as proven as corey
corey was much much slower the last two yrs than ever before
so i think morris will provide more burst
the good thing about having corey was that he really wore down the defense with his physical play

another fact that this yr could be better is that maroney should only be better
so even if morris isnt as productive as corey was last yr the unit as a whole could still be better

HEY BRO! WHAT UP?

Maroney-Morris will be even better. First, Maroney is set to take on the feature back role after a year in the system. Second, as Maroney continues to get more carries, he has a better chance to take one to the house. Maroney is really explosive. Second, Morris is faster than Dillon, yet not as powerful. Morris will be a nice compliment to Maroney. Lastly, I really think Maroney is going to explode in his second year like Frank Gore did with the 49ers.

I think Maroney-Morris has the potential to be a lot better, due mostly to Maroney's expected improvement in his second year. I know I'm excited.

Hopefully it will be better... but I guess we will find out this next season.

Going to take the stance that the Running game will be as good or better. And my reasoning comes from the theory that it will be better NOT because of the talent in the backfield but what we have at WR.. Safties won't be able to cheat up. They'll have to watch for the play action and deep passes. This should free up the running game..

Second idea is that Maroney will have a full offseason work out and will be that much better..

No.

Maroney 07 should be a little better than Maroney 06.

But Morris is a lot worse than Dillon 06. Dillon was a touchdown machine, and wore down defenses. He was a great complement to Maroney. Morris is JAG.

A LITTLE better? That's quite the understatement.

Actually until the offseason is done.. My stance right now is Morris is here to replace P. Pass..

BTW is this another thread to push the drafting of Leonard?? :P

That's my opinion as well. 06 Dillon sure wasn't 97-02 Dillon; he sure wasn't 04 Dillon; but he was still an above average NFL back averaging 4.1 ypc and scoring 13 TDs. He was almost always good for positive yardage.

However, 07 Dillon didn't figure to be as good as 06 Dillon, and was due to cost something like 4.4M against the cap, which 97-02 and 04 Dillon were certainly worth but 07 Dillon certainly was not.

So the real question is not whether 07 Maroney and 07 Morris are better or worse than 06 Maroney and 06 Dillon but whether 07 Maroney and 07 Morris are better than 07 Maroney and 07 Dillon would have been. It's hard to say - my guess is that 07 Dillon is still a little better than 07 Morris - but it's close and as far as value for the dollar 07 Morris is far better.
