He is very underrated when it comes to goal line carries because most of them went to Corey Dillon. However, when Maroney did get some goal line carries, he punched it in 90% of the time. Maroney is very good at getting getting low and at the goal line instead of hammering it in like Dillon. Either way works for me. Maroney will surprise everyone this year at his ability to get it in at the goal line.
If Maroney is to be what you say he will be at the goal line he better straighten out that dancing in the backfield before he hits the LOS
Did you stop to think that maybe the dancing had something to do with the injury to his ribs? Or may, just MAYBE, there weren't many holes in the SD game for him to run through? SD's run defense was pretty damn stout during that game.
Not Maroney, he goes down way too easy. I'd give it to Heath Evans at 6' 250 Lbs. Mano y Mano. Win it in the trenches.
1FB - Evans or Seymour
Except the notion of Heath Evans as tough short-yardage runner is a myth.
Stop it. Just stop it right now.
why not go old school with a twist - whishbone formation:
vince and mike wright as the blocking backs with maroney as HB - pitch it to left side with Kyle Brady on end as well; Kyle and vince pick up blocks to the right sholder and mike picks up any cheating corners/safteys to the left sholder - as Lombardi would say " a seal here!, and a seal here!, and run up the alley!"...
All day - every day inside the 5, unstopable! IMO.
PD.
not if everybody is moving left, including the QB...? plus more of a pitch than handoff...sorry I left that part out.Because the wishbone is going to result in Brady taking vicious hits every play. Out of the playbook....now! There's a reason why it was abandoned in the pros.
You haven't watched Evans run much, have you? Evans is a LOUSY short-yardage back.
I also think you are wrong on Maroney. If you watched him at the beginning of the year, prior to his rib/shoulder problem, he was a very good runner both between the tackles and outside the tackles. It was only after his injury that he had the problems.
