Gasper: Maroney Out to Make Up Ground
 

I know this won't go very far with the LoMo hate crowd, but this out from Chris Gasper today:

He’s out to make up ground - The Boston Globe

I must say, Maroney sure sounds like a good kid with his head screwed on right. I hope he makes it. I'm not convinced he will ever learn to run properly, but he has tremendous skills when he gets the ball in space and I am convinced that he can be a major weapon for us when used properly, and in tandem with other running backs.

I'm going to have to get my Advil and Tylenol ready, it's going to be one of those type of physical games, one of those games that as a running back you like to play

Its deja vu all over again.

Talk is cheap. Bring on BJGE

Maroney will be a good Faulk replacement when KF retires. He is good in the open field, can catch the ball, and does well on returns. He's not an every-down back.

Re: Gasper: Maroney Out to Make Up Ground
 

He deserves to be boo'd. 3 years of his dancing and still no improvement.

Re: Gasper: Maroney Out to Make Up Ground
 

Maroney is the RB version of Chad Jackson on this team.... A lot of potential but even more BS as a pro - 2 Busts in 2 rounds in 2006,thank god we had previously better draft years than that one.

Re: Gasper: Maroney Out to Make Up Ground
 

All that being said, I do think LoMo may have a big game this week. He has a history of breaking out just when he is backed in a corner and when the entire Pats Nation is fed up with him.

He's a good kid who says the right things and I'm rooting for him.

I just wish he would perform to expectations WITHOUT having to get the heat turned up each time.

Sure you are Maroney, sure.

Re: Gasper: Maroney Out to Make Up Ground
 

THat's a little extreme. Jackson rarely if ever saw the field. Maroney has seen the field quite a bit, which is too much for a lot of people, but a fact just the same.

Isn't this the 2nd time in 2 weeks that Gaspar has written a man-love article about LoMo?....."not that there's anything wrong with that".(Seinfeid)
