They will be making a BIG mistake if they cut the kid. He has shown burst, hit the holes hard and carried defenders on his back. He is a better compliment to our passing offense.
No, he's not a better compliment to the passing offense. One of the things you don't comprehend is that one of the reasons Maroney has a hard time is that when he's been out there, teams think RUN first and tend to leave 7 in box and bring a safety down close as well.. By getting Maroney more involved in the passing game, you now open up the field even more, can sell the Play-action passes better and you give yourself another viable weapon. It forces the defense to play back and not stack the box.. Which will, in turn, open up the running game.
Maroney is at best the feast-famine type of player (ala Barry sanders, but not nearly as good in big play category) that constantly backs a team into second & long situations. Brady and company just needs a rb that can get 2-3 yards a pop to keep defense honest. They can't afford Maroney putting them into 2nd & 12.
You might want to go and get educated because Maroney has more runs that go for positive yards than Morris does. People like yourself are just plain talking out your arse when you start talking about Maroney putting the Pats in 2&12 positions on a regular basis. It just doesn't happen.
I can almost hear your response, Bill is god, how can anyone question you?
Its not a matter of questioning BB. Its a matter of actually knowing WTF you are talking about. And its clear that you are sadly lacking in factual information.
