Here to say it...
I thought Maroney played very well and was perfect for the conditions.
There were a couple of times he even bounced outside (I would love to see him do that more often), but even when he ran between tackles, he seemed to be running north and south and with purpose.
I would like to see this out of him for some more important games, but if he can continue to show what he showed yesterday, I'll be eatin' some of that old southern crow & Hoppin' John*!
I would still LOVE to get our hands on McFadden, but if Maroney can deliver like he did on Sunday, he will go a long way to easing my anxiety about our running game!

*Hoppin' John is the Southern United States' version of the rice and beans dish traditional throughout the Caribbean. It consists of crowder peas (black-eyed peas) and rice, often seasoned with a combination of; ham hock or fatback, onions, green peppers, vinegar and spices. In much of the region, eating Hoppin' John on New Year's Day is thought to bring a year filled with luck.
