Not saying he's roger craig. I just think it still is a prduction, that is 15 first downs that they may not have gotten.
No, they are 15 first downs that we checkdown, easy catches. If he were the difference there would be a lot more than 15 out of 40 catches.
Faulk has more first down catches.

And I see that Addai has forty catches for 300+ yards and Maroney has 4 for 116. Does that mean that Addai is a better reciever out of the backfield or is it that the Pats don't utilize Maroney in the passing game and if given the chance could put up the same numbers.
It's cuz the Pats havea 3rd down back named Kevin Faulk, whereas Addai plays in all situations in Indy.

Kevin Faulk is a better pass receiver and 3rd down back than Addai.
I know this because I watch the games. How do you know this? If you check the stats Addai has better numbers? I think the stats lied to me on this one.
Better numbers? ONE MORE CATCH? When he plays 90% of the snaps, and Faulk plays well less than 50%?
[QUOTE=Miguel;699980]IMO,
1.) Maroney is a good RB.
2.) Addai is a good RB.
3.) Both the Pats and the Colts are happy with their starting RB even if some of their fans are not.[/QUOTE
That would be to simple. I don't think its a question being happy with one over the other. I am trying to take the teams out of it and compare the 2.
Well said.
Maroney has been on a hot streak recently, and this is all well and good.
However Addai has proven to be that 25 carry a game back and has back to back 1,000 yard seasons on his resume. He is a proven back.
Maroney has room for improvement.
Let's hope he can continue to run well when he faces decent run defenses.
The Giants #11 ranked rushing defense should be a decent test of his skills.
What?? Brady was instructed not to throw to him? That doesn't make sense. How about Brady doesn't have enough trust in Maroney's hands yet to make that dump off pass, when he wouldn't have hesitated if it was Faulk that was open?
How are you using the Addai is a proven 25 carry a game guy, when it has been proven he IS NOT.
Please comment on the almost half a season now where Addai has average 48 yards a game, less than 3.2 a carry, and his best game was 67 yards.
My comment on not throwing to Maroney was sarcastic, as yours must have been too,because I am sure you are not so ignorant to suggest Brady saw him and chose not to throw to him because he wouldn't catch it, since none of us remember the last time he dropped a pass.
Maroney, with 91 fewer carries than Addai, is rested and healthy for the play-offs. Who would you rather have for January - a fresh, relatively healthy Maroney or a worn-down beat up Addai?
IMO,
1.) Maroney is a good RB.
2.) Addai is a good RB.
3.) Both the Pats and the Colts are happy with their starting RB even if some of their fans are not.
Best point made yet in this thread.
Remember, however this thread was in response to prior comments that Maroney couldn't hold Addai's jockstrap.
Seriously, unless you drink ALL the Koolaid on this forum, people see you as a hater. I am merely being a realist.
Maroney is a young player that has recently had some very good performances against the #30 and #32 ranked run defenses. I'd like to see him continue to improve and show something against the Giants who are ranked #11 vs the run.

I certainly agree that it is ridiculous to think that BB instructed Tom specifically NOT to throw at Maroney.
However the reason none of us remember the last time he dropped a pass has more to do with when is the last time we even remember Maroney catching a pass??
Maroney's hands are a work in progress. I don't blame Tom for not being comfortable throwing to Maroney yet when he has superior and more proven targets like Faulk, Welker, Moss, Watson, and even Gaffney to throw to.

I like Maroney, but don't get too excited about yesterday's stats. Most of us on this message board could have scored on that long TD run with a gaping hole at the LOS and zero defenders downfield.

His comment is not representative of mine at all. When you see a QB slide around in the pocket multiple times while completely ignoring a wide open outlet option, of course there could be a reason for it. Maybe they are minimizing that option until later, maybe they were trying to force it to Moss on that play, whatever.
I personally don't feel that my post deserved your asinine and vitriolic response.
