I say he improved because he was much more versatile last year. As I've pointed out already, he played a lot of fullback, a new position for him, in 2009. He was also used occasionally as a receiver out of the backfield. And he looked better in the 2009 preseason than he did in the 2008 preseason.How has he improved? Improved so much that they reduced his carries to one-third of their former total last season? BJGE carries the ball in preseason, garbage time, and when the #1-#4 RBs are injured. That's it.
And saying that he runs harder than someone who broke his shoulder running through guys is... eh, let's just go with pointless. It's pretty pointless.
I think Maroney's improvement early last year has a lot to do with BJ's drop in carries.
