Sammy Morris.
He was running great and I firmly believe he would have taken the #1 spot before too long.
His loss hurt more than we thought.
Granted, we're winning, so it's all good, but at some point, we're gonna need to be able to run the clock and grind out first downs on the ground.
Maroney gets 8 carries because he is ineffective.
I can think of another 10-12 plays where I am sure they would have run if they had confidence in their back. Instead, they went to screens.
What amazes me about the Pats is that they can be effective in play action without having a running threat.
Think about that for a second.
That's pretty awesome!
The Pats have proven this year that you do not need a great running game. Yards rushed and time of possession are two of the more overrated stats in the NFL. Don't forget the guy on injured reserve, he was better than average til he got crunched in the Dallas game. Mental block on his name.
