Re: The 300lb Draft Blunder in the corner of the room
Yes - throw last season out of the equation... Maroney wasn't the featured RB - Dillon was and the OL was geared towards his style.
And the fact that there was no mid to deep WR game last year saw 9 men in th box, making it that much more difficult for an RB... though I'm sure there are some who would still argue that our lack of a deep threat WR last year had no adverse impact on the team.
And let's not forget that Joseph Addai ran against a lot of seven-men boxes, while Maroney was often running against eight or even nine.
