Kyle Eckle is a scrub, but he's a better Red Zone option than Maroney, what does that tell you? 2/14 vs 2/31.

Hey SFBs, its 2 for 18. Also, Eckel's TDs have come in garbage time. Why do you insist on being STUPID?

We have resorted to using guys like Kyle Eckel and Heath Evans instead. That's pretty sad.

So, let me get this straight. In your world, using guys like EVANS in GOAL LINE situations because he's 250 lbs and should be able to hit people and soften them up is tantamount to Maroney's being bad?

See, in MY world, Using Evans, a 250 lbs FB to smash into the D-line is SMART football because, at the very least, it wears the opposing D-line down.

I misread the splits.

Wow you're taking a real risk betting that Maroney might score a TD in his next 40 carries.

Any bets on how much yardage he will gain on the Steelers?

haha, my point was just if you give them an equal # of carries the TD numbers won't be so skewed

and for this game, it obviously depends on how much we balance passing vs. running, cause the steeler's real weakness is the pass. But if he gets 15-20 carries i'd hope for somewhere between 50-75 yards on the ground, plus i wouldnt be surprised to see him get more passes his way.

So, discount the fact that Barber has 15 more Red Zone carries and is Dallas' primary Red Zone back.

I'd believe that Maroney will get 2-3 more TDs on his next 15 Red Zone carries. He might even get MORE than that.

That's a bet I'm willing to take. Let's keep track of this stat from here on out then.

I see that you have a reading comprehension problem. No where did I make a bet. I said I believed. You clearly are mentally deficient and just refuse to have a sensible conversation.

You don't actually read what is said.

Don't worry I'll make sure to call you on it a few weeks from now. Let's just see how Maroney performs now. 2-3 TDs in his next 15 red zone carries? I'd love to see it!

BTW, I really wish McDaniels would call more running plays OUTSIDE the Tackles. Maroney's best yardage gains have come when he runs outside the tackles. Its pretty bad that on the 15 runs OUTSIDE the tackles Maroney has gained 96 yards (6.4 YPC). While on the 103 runs inside the tackles, he's gained 415 yards (4.03 YPC)

I'm sure you will. Losers like yourself who have reading comprehension issues take joy when other people make mistakes. Of course, you never live up to your own. You spin it whatever way you can so you don't have to take responsibility.
