How good was Maroney today?
 
100 yds but I didn't see the game.
Why did he do so well? Blocking good/Hitting the hole better. I was hoping he would break along one somewhere in the game. Good to see him to well!
Appreciate any comments.

He ran consistently hard up the middle mostly.

I also enjoyed seeing him hugging BB after the game like they were going to hit the bars later.

He showed a little burst today, instead of just plodding forward as he usually does. Today, he would see a crease, and accelarate through for 5 or 6 yards. This helped him fall forward most of the time as he had some momentum. Still would like to see him break it outside a little more, but good tough running today.

would've been a bigger game but his stats slowly started slowing down when we went 1 WR set and they had 8-9 in box

Jets played close to line a lot of the game..disguising but they did shut our passing game down basically

You guys must not have heard...Maroney is awful and will be begging Vince McMahon to restart the XFL just to draw a paycheck next year.

Oh, also Meriweather is a bust, Pioli and Belichick can't draft to save thier lives, and Tom Brady is breaking down before our eyes.

:rolleyes:

He's not an inside mauler, but he has more than enough power to keep defenses honest and that's all that matters.

Comparing him to high mileage Dillon who is power only is a mistake, because he can run outside like a young Dillon (please watch some young Corey if you get the chance).

His style is more like an Eric Dickerson, but that ain't bad at all. Running backs need carries, he'll be fine over time.

Here's who Maroney was today:


Sammy Morris. :D Heck, didn't even break a long run and he hit the century mark. Who says Pats can't run the ball!!!

He did what Morris can do.

What's nice is he can also do what Morris can't!
