Sound like Bose State to me.
Counting on Maroney as the blocker is a four wide receiver set is just asking for disaster.

Moss and Tate on the outside, Edelman and Welker in the slot, Maroney in the backfield, Brady under center. You spread them out. From that formation, you could run Maroney either by a straight handoff (because the other team has a lot of DB's out there, and every one is spread out, there should be a good amount of running room) or a draw; or you could go play-action; or you could do a straight drop back with Maroney blocking; or you could send the receivers on one side down the field and run a swing pass to Maroney to that side, which has been vacated by the WR's and DB's heading down the field; or you could run little WR screens to either Edelman or Welker.
You could run so many variations off this set. And I prefer Maroney to Faulk in this set because (a) he's a better runner than Faulk is; (b) he's actually a pretty good receiver; and (c) other teams see Maroney and think run, and it gives them much more to think about (in my opinion).
