Re: PP's DVR player evaluation- Pre-Season game 1
It also doesn't help that this offensive line doesn't seem to be able to impose its will upon opponents until the opponents have worn themselves out trying to get to Brady for 3 quarters. It would be nice to see this team just come out and pummel opponents into submission on a more regular basis.
Yep, he's wearing #39, it's a dead giveaway that a "tight" player is in the backfield and will be lugging the rock shortly - for whatever reason, last season, the play calling rarely involved Maroney in the passing game. This game was similar, when LoMo is in the game the defense keys on the run and aggressive defenses like Philly start run blitzing. I've speculated that it may be a long term playcalling strategy to set defenses up for the run then start hitting Maroney out of the backfield in the passing game, either that or Josh was collaberating with maverick4 to be no smarter than, well, a box of rocks. It's not Maroney that I can see, it's higher up the food chain. If you watched how many times Morris got stuffed in the backfield out of running formations vs. the big holes he got out of passing formations... :confused2:
