It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Reminds me a lot of Felix Jones, with a touch of Chris Johnson thrown in. Very very quick, gets in and out of cuts as quick as anyone in College, makes defenders miss, terrific change of direction. He's not consistent enough between the tackles though, and always looks to bounce it outside a la Reggie Bush.
Might not be quite what we're looking for in all honesty. I was all for Jahvid Best a few months ago, but with Maroney performing well, we might need a bit more of a bruiser to compliment him.
The thing is watching maroney this year, hes running like the bruising inside the tackles back we need right now. Notice when we get inside the 5 we dont playaction to a TE, we are running Maroney inside and hes been money (minus the fumble in Indy). Whereas when Maroney was with Dillon, we used Maroney alot on screens and outside runs. I still think we have too many needs right now to worry about RB, although RB in round 2 isnt out of the question if the right guy is there.
On a lighter note, our O-line has improved since Volmer replaced Light. It's controversial, but I think we should leave Volmer at LT and move Light to RT for the rest of this year. This way we can use Volmer's superior athleticism against speed rushers, while retaining Light's talent and experience to upgrade Kaczur. With that front, I say we beat the Colts the next time we see them, Light would own Matthis and Volmer would be able to contain Freeney with help.
