Has anyone lese felt he should be pitched the ball wide to take advantage of his speed ? I don't understand why they do not run him wide!!
I have the same question..... Maybe we will see more o fhim against the Colts run D.
Also, he should be used , coming out of the backfield, like Kevin Faulk.....on quick pases over the middle....

Agreed, but defenses kind of look for that with Faulk in the lineup...maybe not so with Maroney......in other words, do what they DONT expect us to do.
You know I love this guy, but JEEEEZ!!!
Let's get a grip. I don't think we had the talent level of the Bolts, and we beat them just yesterday with tough football, a tough mindset, and yes, superior coaching...
Sometimes you just have to go with "the proof is in the pudding." When we lost (gasp!) two in a row, and 3 out of 4, I was more in tune with the second-guessing, but to my eye, the ship got righted pretty well.
I hate to throw cold water on a good discussion -- and believe me, I like Maroney -- but sometimes you just have to accept that the playcalling is not going to look "perfect" from the outside... LoMo was not doing much when he got the ball, and I think they started going to Faulk because he was the guy getting it done. Or, it might have been game planned that way.
Either way, the ball started moving when they dug up Faulk and Gaffney as the primary weapons... and the job got done.
Sometimes when something ain't broke, and the pro mechanic already fixed it, you have to question your buddy Earl's opinion that they shoulda rebuilt the engine.

I wondered about the limit of the use of Maroney, but to be honest I'm not about to start quibbling the coaching given that we came out with the W.
One thing I would say was that I watched him in a number of passing situations, and the guy's blocking has come on a treat since early in the season. He really did a good job out there.
next week I'm sure we'll see him run.
As for the Charger game, I thought we gave up on the run way to early. While we weren't having a lot of success, the Chargers were pinning their ears back as they knew we weren't going to run.
