Reiss: Source: Maroney placed on IR

[fgssand]

ah crap! I don't care what others think of Maroney, he did have his share of good runs and i would rather have him than some other unknown RB.

Can't believe that we just lost a good RB for the season when we desperately needed some running game to support our anemic offense.

Must be Casells fault, seems they blame him for all that is wrong. KIDDING.

Seriously, yet another blow....what a tough year.

Too bad for #39 that list that was posted of injuries this year in the NFL keeps growing..

PFT confirms it, not that that means all that much..

Re: Maroney to IR

What sort of speed does he have? cause I think we need a change of pace back too.

He's not really what you would call a gamebreaker but his speed is adequate. And he played in the SEC (South Easter Conference) which is the speediest conference in college football. Here is his combine review:

BJGE is on the roster. He might show up over the next few games.

Curious to see what The Man With Four Names can do. I know he was good at Ole Miss, so who knows. I can really only see him getting any serious reps if Jordan is out for good though.

Now, I'm sure, the Patriots will come out and have a frank and open dialogue on Maroney's injuries, as well as informative discussions about Brady's injuries. We're sure to get all the information we need and want to know from the team now!

 

[BadMoFo]

Maybe Neal or Ross will be activated...

Thanks, Pats1, you always know how to cheer us up.

 

[DefenseRules]

If true, this SUCKS. I hope Neal or Ross is activated. Our OL needs all the help that it can get, IMO.

Re: Maroney to IR

He's talking about Shaun Alexander.

Didn't see him mentioned, but that would of been a decent pick-up. There's still a few guys still out there. Musa Smith, Tatum "fumble drill" Bell and a couple of other forgettables.

Trust me, it doesn't mean much...

 

[Wendel]

I'll sure miss his dancing in the backfield, sitting on the sidelines and 55 yards per game average.

Well, the Pats had their chance, and went with Jordan instead.

 

[JSn]

The Patriots made a few other roster moves today:

# G Stephen Neal has been activated off the physically unable to perform list.

# CB Mike Richardson has been signed to the 53-man roster.

# C/G Dan Connolly has been released.

Well, that's an exciting day in Foxboro...

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Glad we signed FA Jordan although he too is injured, hopefully temporarily. BJGE is thankfully available.

It was mentioned by a poster, then deleted.

Re: Maroney to IR

Our starting QB and RB are out for the season.

BB should be a coach of they year candidate once again if he can win the division.

Re: Maroney to IR

BB should be a coach of they ear candidate once again if he can get this team to the playoffs.

Eye nose and throat, too in my book!

 

[Kontradiction]

Any word out there if BJGE is going to get some playing time tonight? Has he been activated off the practice squad yet?

Caught it before the edit! Damn you.

Coach of the Ear should be rewarded from now on, however.

No they didn't. They just reprinted Reiss' report. I'm not doubting Reiss at all but the fact that PFT linked to his report doesn't make it any more or less credible. If they confirmed it, that would mean they heard it from an outside source, independent of Reiss.

He was activated for last weeks game.
