Faulk is probably just out due to the increased awareness of concussion issues...he looks fine on the bench. As for Maroney ... well McFadden is looking real good right now.

Maroney was neither injured, nor benched. He is the only legit starting rb on the roster and BB was protecting his assets with a 35 point lead. The Pats had to give a reason for pulling him other than "we're kicking their @$$".
Maroney is fine, he was standing along the sideline with his helmet on in the 3rd quarter. He looked like he was ready to go in. Not much point in putting him out there though.

The first time they cut away to Faulk, he had the long distance look of a concussion to me. He got crushed on that hit, too.
I'm in the "why bother with Maroney/see what Evans & Eckles can do" camp.
After Maroney's gutsy play in last year's play-offs, I'm sure he can gut it out if needed. The game was all but over after the Pats got their second score.
The injury bug rears up its head again. I don't think the dings are serious, but you never know. BB keeps this kind of news very hush hush.
The background chants for McFadden are starting to get louder.
BTW I was listening to I think PFW and they mentioned Felix Jones as a possibility in round 2. I hadn't thought about that, but it could make sense if Felix Jones could be a Marion Barber III type back for us. Anyone know the scouting report on this kid?

Really? I'd but what you were selling if Brady didn't start the second half either. But I guess Brady is replaceable while Maroney needs to stay healthy...right?
im just always a lil confused by what maroney's workload is
just hoping that bb wants to protect him and thats all
at the same time, is it cuz he thinks he's frail, that he would wanna protect him?

Running backs take a beating. I bet they give him lots of carries when it counts. Why let the defense take out their frustration on him when you can develop confident depth?
