Re: Fred Taylor VS Maroney.
2009 total all purpose yards:
Faulk 268
Maroney 214
Taylor 180
Morris 80
Interesting to note after three games:
Essentially all of Taylor's yards are in the running game, so he leads this category with 176 yards rushing and eye popping 4.6 yards per carry.
62% of Maroney's yards are from returning kicks, leaving 9 yards in the passing game and 72 yards running. Tied for second place in YAC and also slightly ahead of Faulk in kick return YAC.
Faulk leads the RBs in returning kicks and also in the passing game. He is tied for second place amoung RBs in yards per carry, albeit with less attempts.
Morris is a non factor in the running game but surprisingly not far behind Faulk in the passing game with 60 yards on only four attempts. So he is the hidden 3rd down back it would appear.
All our RBs have roles to play on the team. We don't have one guy trying to be the hero but a bunch of role players.
So Maroney is much less effective than Morris or Faulk?
