It's easy, and only takes a few moments.not sure if its indecisiveness, but maroney takes too long to get to the line of scrimmage.........he needs to be a one-cut runner and save the dance for when he's past the line of scrimmage......
BLGE will continue to be more effective as long as he gets to the line quicker.....
it will also not take long for him to get hurt again as long as he runs as tall as he does........BJGE gets alot lower
There was nothing false about my claim. And it wasn't used to establish the argument. I wouldn't expect you to understand that.
Sorry, but the house that I live in doesn't have a basement. Nice try though. As for you going off to play golf. Good for you. I'll be cutting and staining the wood for my new entertainment center.
BTW, I don't pass myself off to be a "football insider." I am someone who knows more about football than ignorant people like yourself, but I am always looking for points of view supported by facts and not just the regurgitation of the pundits...
BJGE will continue to be more effective as long he is playing against fourth stringers and Maroney is playing against first stringers. If Belichick were serious thing of BJGE in a serious role on the team, he would gotten reps against the first string in the preseason as many other backups did. BJGE will be on the squad until September 5th. Depending on the status of Morris, Belichick will decide whether to have BJGE on the inactive roster for a few weeks as an emergency in case of injuries to more running backs. Of course, BJGE wouldn't be needed until there were two more injuries.
MG, Wouldn't it be a fair statement to say that BJGE is also running behind a third string O-Line with way less talent? Isn't that kind of a wash?
I just don't see all the love for Maroney. I agree BJGE is no Corey Dillon but he makes the best of his reps. BJGE starter? I don't think so. But North South is what BB wants.
Seriously I wonder if Maroney needs contacts? If he has to decipher in his mind where he has to run for just a split second I can see that little tip tap. It could be physical. The big blob you are running into is not a hole LM. It is a pile of bodies you should run around, not into. He has not shown skills of a #1 pick.

Some of you guys are really callous by seemingly putting someone down by claiming they are unemployed or have a low wage job. It might surprise you that many of us are unemployed. I am in my last semester of nursing school at the age of 49. I was forced to make the career switch given the rapacity of the corporate world. It's amazing that one poster claimed a higher intellect and a higher wage and assumed that it would automatically qualify him as being a better human being. Interesting....
Personally, I come from the point of view where career people are definitely more inclined to be "paper people;" in other words, they haven't spent adequate time to develop their inner understanding. Career people are definitely less interesting than unemployed people (on the whole--if I could make a generalization.) But in either case, you can't make judgments as to someone's worth based on whether they have a high-paying job or whether they don't even have a job. It's really shallow.
I just don't see all the love for Maroney. I agree BJGE is no Corey Dillon but he makes the best of his reps. BJGE starter? I don't think so. But North South is what BB wants.
You realize you're in a thread that started out by giving Morris' spot to BJGE, then became another thread expressing the fervent hope someone steps up to make Maroney ride the pine?
All running back threads for the past two years have gone like this...
Post 1: Wow BJGE runs hard! How can we cut this kid?
Post 2: Yeah, BJGE should start, he's the kind of back Belichick loves.
Post 3: You realize he's the slowest and least nimble back on the roster, don't you?
Post 4: I don't understand why you love Maroney so much, he sucks.
I root for the underdog and not the underachiever.
he played against their 2nd team defense. so i agree. let's wait and see how he does against the other teams' starters.
He did that already last year, and if memory serves me, he did pretty darn well........
And Brady may have played last year as well.....Morris didn't keep Pollard down and let him keep coming.......and we saw what happened when he got there.It's not like he hasnt shown what he can do when it counts. Is what he did last season just erased from the record?
I'd disagree that he is not better than Morris at this point in their careers. The kid just needs a shot.
You are smart Mrs. Sanders. You figured out whose feces is without scent besides Simon#1. That Cub Scout Pack must be fun.
Maroney dances too much. Live with it Cousin. Your son is a solid back up Safety in this league. Nice kid, so you raised him right, but with limited talent. He will not start be years end. Not a playmaker and limited range. Anyone here on this site argue that point? If he was covering Cooley as he should have been (it was his man, Bruschi took the blame but he was underneath. That was your son's zone) he would not have to have run as far. Copy this down so if I am wrong you can go Nah, Nah! to me.
Mods.... Can there be one guy using two names on this site like Harry and Lloyd here (or Harry Lloyd)?

*ROFLMAO* I love when you blatantly lie..
Of course you would.. And then, when Morris and Taylor are injured, the Pats will have no one but Faulk and BJGE.. and that won't amount to much offense in the running game and it will make the Patriots totally one-dimensional..
Haha, usually it's Maroney everyone worries about getting injured and usually he does. In these past few season what has Maroney shown? He's an injury prone finess running back that has a nice second gear WHEN he doesn't get touched in the backfield. At this point I think a guy who was taken in the first round needs to have shown more. Seems like a nice guy but he's a total bust IMO.
