I liked what I saw, too, but this is ridiculous. Maroney is the starter. Deal.
Jordan looked like the man against 3rd stingers in the preseason. Then he looked like the man verses his old team late in the game. I think most people had it right when they refer to him as Dillion-like. He needs to be in there to take the wind and spirits out of the D.
Luxury is right. What depth at the RB position with 5 backs all having various strengths and styles! Faulk was huge today and Evans is a force with his blocking. Jordan did remind me a lot of "Clock Killin' Dillon" toward the end of the game with a few Jets stuck on his hood ornament after a couple runs.It was especially dramatic today with the Jets' DL suffering in the heat, but bringing in a fresh, bruising RB for the 2nd have is a lovely luxury.
BTW, Woods was in the game at the end. I heard he simply had the wind knocked out of him.

I thought the Coaches played it wisely using Maroney's evasiveness to run the D and tire them out, then pound them with power once they started to wear down; both to rest the D in the heat and to protect the lead.Speed Kills ! Especially after the opposition is getting tired. So despite the fact that Laurance is the premier back, I would soften them up with pounding Morris and Lamont early. After they get tired, Laurance would play with his speed, most of the end of the first half and the second half and exploit their weariness. I'd expect him to rip off more than a few long runs.
Then in the final few minutes, close them out with power running, again.
