BostonHerald.com - Blogs: Rap Sheet Blog Archive Patriots running back Laurence Maroney turns to chess to help his game


"Chess can help with football because the one thing about chess, you’re not moving for right now, you’re moving to set up moves later on. That’s how football is,” Maroney said. ”You’re making a move to set up something later on. I can see the linebacker here, but what move can I do to set this safety up, also?”

this could get funny have at it boys.

He is explaining how a RB reads, cuts and runs other than putting his head down and running into the pile. Many fans think a 2 yard run into the pile with no hope of breaking through is better than a 2 yard run after cutting back and trying to make a bigger play.
 
Are his chess pieces made of glass?

More like dude has lost his mind.

Well we already know that with the Kool Aid suit and the cartoon references but at least what he has left of his mind he's thinking about ffotball 24/7. I like that.
 
Curran tweeted that Maroney attributed his fumbles to mental laziness, so I guess this is part of how he plans on getting less mentally lazy?
 
Maroney while running: turn left... oh this will definitely get that safety moving, hmmm seems like he's not biting, ok maybe right then, darn it... still not biting ok let's go left again, is he now?no, then hmmm left ag... oh no I meant right.... no, not there, ohhh where to go.... screw it, let's just fall onto this big pile here


I guess I finally understand what is going through his head:bricks:
 
Just remember next time when Maroney gets dumped by a DL for 2-yard loss, he was really just faking out a safety 15 yards down the field.
Football is no longer an instictive sports. BB's school of coaching really shined throu.
