This week, I'm not incredibly concerned about Maroney (outside long tern effects/issues), as I think Morris and/or Faulk will also have good success running the ball.

I too am concerned about Big Vince and Colvin as well. That's starts to eat into some real quality. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to watch Le Kevin grown and develop in the future, just not sure I'm all that excited at the prospect of it against this offense.

I've long predicted an injury-riddled season for Maroney. Morris may be a 1000-yard rusher this year!

Seriously. Sammy has been looking quite crisp in the 3 games we've seen him. Hits the holes hard and fast and seems to always pick up a good chunk. Get well soon LM!

LoMar hasn't missed any time yet. "Injury-riddled" is obnoxious and sounds almost hopeful. But I SURE hope you get to be right that Maroney's "always" injured!

Thomas Jones, famed Jet "tough guy" running back...check HIS stats out from the 2nd half against a Boise State JV defense today...the Pats could be MUCH WORSE OFF if you think about it

This is why #53 is as important as the top tier, our backups are all ok and despite these absences we will be ok..

This will be a tight game, folks. Cincy's back is against the wall, they're playing at home, and they're pissed about how we walked over them at home last year. I expect a battle.

I'd agree with you if you had started your post with "In the first quarter..."

If too many of those "questionables" turn into "outs" I totally agree. Without, say, Wilfork & Colvin, this could turn into a pretty wild and unpredictable game. Brady and Moss, Palmer and Johnson...fun matchup and nice draw for a national audience!

Yeah, let's see who's playing. A lot of teams are pissed and desperate but don't play well. Let's see Cincy stop us a few times before assuming they can.
