That must be what playing the Jets and Dolphins defenses can do for you. Maroney gets a few holes and is good in open space and can make a nice big play that makes Pats go ohhh and ahhhh.
Anyone who would take Maroney over Addai is an idiot, or a Pats fan. Maroney is Reggie Bush. Dances at the line and is afraid to pound the ball but when he gets open space against a crappy defense he can break off for one of those long runs that make people giddy.
Addai in case people did not remember had some big playoff success last season. Is that not what Pats fans are high on? Playoff success? The kid came up big when it mattered. And he also could have been Super Bowl MVP with his running and receptions.
Addai has been a workhorse this year. And he has played through injuries. A tough runner and a pro bowler now too. He can run, catch and block. Whatever you ask him to do. And he is not afraid to pound the ball for tough yards. Addai got back on track with his running Sunday. He has 15 TDs this season overall. Many of his problems were the 0-line being battered and bruised for the second half of the season as well.
I have nothing against Addai, but don't you think the timing is a little bad to be singing his praises? It seems to me that Maroney did much better against the Ravens than Joseph did, and Laurence ran in a game where the conditions were bad for passing. Addai certainly didn't do very well against Oakland which is every bit as bad as NY or Miami at stopping the run.
BTW, the whole Maroney dances garbage is sooooooo 10 weeks ago.
