Oh wow, another Maroney thread. Yippee!
I voted yes. Not entirely sure why, I just felt like it. Maroney takes too much heat, but if you go carry for carry, you see a swarm of defenders waiting for him. I still think the OL's run blocking leaves a little to be desired, and that their great pass protection is giving them a free pass on the run game, leaving Maroney there to be criticized.
Is that of importance?
What if he gets 75YDS with a 4.5YD AVG and we win,is that bad?
What if he gets 100YDS on 45 carries,is that good?
Why was Sammy Morris so effective then, if it's the OL's fault? If you really believe Maroney can reach 100, more power to you. We will see the results come Sunday. Keep the votes coming.
[Update] Vote now stands at 4 Yes, 9 No. That means only 30% of Patriot Nation believes that Maroney will get the job done vs NFL defenses #30 and #32 vs the run respectively.

pointless. unless he breaks a 70 yard run or something he prob wont get enough carries to reach 100
But at the same time, if the OL was able to open up the kind of holes other teams with better run-blocking OLs are able to create, Maroney would probably put up insane numbers b/c in the open field, he's a monster.
Only if the Entire Offensive line Pushes him from behind every time he touches the ball.
