Cut Maroney? I mean, really? He has NO value?
Goodness.
Cutting him would actually mean he has negative value since there would be some cap loss. Can't see it. Can he have a season to get him re-signed? That's a whole other question, I guess.
I just think that the unsuccessful switch to zone blocking negatively impacted his game.
I really think the time off and reflection will prove to be good for him. I know some people say he's made of glass, a bust, or whatever, but I'm going to head into the season optimistic.
Here's to LoMo and a comeback year!

I want to see him used more in the passing game, because I think that, if they can get him in space, he can be a huge contributor as a Faulk with more speed. Unlike a lot of people here, I love his style of running for this offense. I just think that the unsuccessful switch to zone blocking negatively impacted his game.
The team needs to do some research and see if they can find any 'tells' that let opponents know when there's going to be a pass to Maroney, and they need to tell the line to block like it did in the second half of last season instead of the way it had been doing ever since Dillon had left. If they can do that, I think Maroney will have a chance to be very good in this system.
Why? I don't necessarily disagree, just curious. The zone blocking scheme was put in specifically for his running style, and it was the scheme he was used to running behind in college. Admittedly, I'm not terribly adept at diagnosing the performance of the O-Line in run blocking... did they not execute the zone scheme as well as they needed to, or is he just not as suited to the zone blocking in the pros?
