You guys dont get that I want the pats to win! I am worried about Maroney. I cannot stand the thought of him having to carry the ball 25 times per game. Honestly I dont think he can do ti and stay healthy. I think the is very very talented. Just not durable.

What about Petterson, Addai , Lynch, Jones Drew? They seem to be pretty durable.

Are any of their teams 6-0? What do you want us to do, cut him? Get a grip. We all wish he appeared to be more durable, but lots of players struggle with injuries early in their career. Polian once swapped Marshall Faulk for Edgerrin James for just that reason. And Marshall got his ring long before Polian did, and Edge never did.

Slamming players on a team like this is just so lame. Can't you find anything better to do with your time? Try being a fan for a change. As fans go, you're made out of glass.

"You stupid Pats fan."
I have never seen you post anything positive. You are not a Pats fan. You are a troll in disguise. You had us all fooled for a while, but I think everyone's figured it out now. Go back to your Jets board or Colts board or whoever it is you really cheer for.
 
Stop changing the topic. Morris is a proven NFL back. Maroney is supposed to be a first round stud that is hurt way to much. We will see what all you guys are saying if Morris is out for a long period of time and Maroney has to step in and actually carry the ball 20 plus times.

How is Morris a "proven NFL back"? He was a backup his entire career until coming to NE and he had his own injuries in the past (if you didn't know). So, again I say to you is Morris also now made of glass?

Yes, Maroney missed two games out of 16 last year, racked up 745 yards, 6 TD's and an AVG of 4.3 while backing up Corey Dillon, but he's missed way to much time and he's only been effective at racking up injuries to his list...

As I said before, get a life gus. Your act is getting old REALLY fast.

agreed. i better wake up tomorrow reading a thread saying Sammy Morris is made of glass.

he took a hit and got hurt. Maroney probably pulled something which i gurantee half these old farts here would do trying to run somewhere away from their computer

Yup, although Addai missed week five with injury and he has a bye week to recover so we don't know if he could have gone if they played on sunday.

Peterson's already had a few serious injuries during his football career (broken collarbone). He's been without injury so far this season and looks really good, but we'll see.

Marshawn Lynch I liked coming out of the draft this year but if you don't remember he had a back injury he was healing from just prior to the draft.

Jones Drew has already had x-rays this season do to his own injuries.

I think if you're trying to be objective you'll find a lot of RB's get various injuries during the season.
 
Then he's a proven NFL backup. Kinda makes you each 1/2 right -:)

proven? he really wasnt that good until here. wether its because dolphins sucked, bad opportunities but he hasnt made a name for himself till now

he never got the ball much either.

just remember..Maroney is averaging 4.7 ypc against better teams than Bengals and Browns. With Cowboys game, Morris is down to 4.5 after 5.6 and 4.9 against the Ohio teams

Adrian Peterson's main problem coming into NFL was durablity questions because hes missed some time in college with injuries. Cadillac Williams on IR.

i already gave a list of about 85% of NFL starting RBs who have had injuries ..and it shows its not just Maroney
 
Guys, didn't you know that Jim Brown was made of glass because he wasn't man enough to play until he couldn't walk?! Sorry, I found danny boy's pipe...

Danny, a brief education for you here. Franchise running backs are VERY rare, and within this scheme and in this era are largely ineffective. Knock it off with the LT argument...ever hear of a guy named Michael Turner? But, he's a backup so you likely think he sucks out loud. Like every position in the NFL (SITUATIONAL FOOTBALL!!) no one running back does everything perfectly. Certain players have certain skill sets and they should be utilized accordingly. That's what we call coaching. A guy like Marshal Faulk could never do what Larry Johnson does, and vice versa. They have very unique and very gifted skill sets. Sammy Morris and Laurence Maroney are two different kinds of (very good) runners. Morris is a linear runner who is great working behind a fullback or pulling guard and hitting a hole hard. A guy like Maroney is a one-cut type runner who is much better suited to work out of an ace-type set and follow a zone blocking scheme. His awareness will improve with time and coaching, his tallent is undeniable. Once he develops better continuity with his linemen he's going to be a star. But he's not a 30 carry guy. In fact, having a guy who carries the ball 30 times a game is symbolic of a lack of depth in a roster. Heck, the Rams drafted Leonard to compliment Jackson. There's a reason why backs on average have the shortest NFL careers. They take tremendous abuse and tend to wear down much faster than other positions.

It is far better for THE TEAM to have a stable of capable and diverse backs who can execute the correct play for the situation. IE; Would you want Kevin Faulk pounding the rock for an inch and Heath Evans running wheel routes out of the slot? This game is not about having "that dude". The game is about having 53 capable players who all bring different things to the table. Now go brag to your classmates about how much you learned tonight. You owe me 10 bucks.

What a waste of a post. Hey mcfly , Maroney is injury prone IMO. I am concerned about it. I have said several times Maroney is a very talented runner. When did I say anything about his role? This post is about a guy who is hurt way to much IMO. A opinion I have every right to have, and frankly I have evidence to back it up. With Morris hurt we should all be worried. No matter what the kool aids say, maroney is questionable when you talk about im carrying the ball 25 times per game and staying healthy.

What use is a back who maxes out at 15 carries a game if his backup goes down with injury? The only thing I owe you is a few laughs for your high and mighty post that said a whole lot of nothing.

Anyway we have to agree to disagree. I think Maroney is talented , but questionable with his ability to stay healthy. I never said he was a bust , or not a good runner. He is however injury prone IMO.

What are we going to do if Morris is out for a extended period? Imo I don't think Maroney can carry the ball 25 times per game and stay healthy.

So what are the excuses for today? We where kicking ass so why risk it? Is that the same as not needing him last week?

What happened to Maroney today? He was only a high first round pick. Few carries here and there is cool right?

Btw nice win today for the pats. The O looks unreal. D looked suspect I must say.

You are trying to hard, we get it big guy, leave the forums, go hang out at JI or something. If you can't understand common sense, then you shouldn't be on here.

Oh I get it. I have to leave because I question Maroney's durability? If you think this is how a high first round pick is supposed to perform you swill even more koolaid then I thought.

If you pass off questioning Maroney durability as "hating" at this stage you are a total homer.


Btw I will post here as much as I want. I follow the rules. Just because I dont kiss ass every second does not mean I have to leave.

Hope this helps.

Still crying?
God, you're so immature. Kevin Faulk is made of glass...he only had 6 rushes!!!! Watson and Morris are made of glass!!!! I don't even want to start about that lame player Evans.
