All RBs absolutely must provide adequate pass protection, but the more capable our RBs are of catching passes puts extreme pressure on opposing defenses to cover yet another option. Brady excells at knowing everyone's position on the field and finding the open man.
It's excellent news about Maroney's continued development. I'd read analytical posts here that criticized his pass receiving ability, so it's great to see the issue is being addressed and progress made. He's the kind of guy who can be very dangerous in a big play sense given space.
Great comment about Hart.
5 stars
