I certainly hope Maroney plays. He came up huge for us in the 2007 game as a receiver. I don't expect a lot of yards running, but I think that he and Faulk are key as part of the short passing attack.
He sounds like he's ready, based on this from the Globe today:
Maroney ready to run hard - Extra Points - Boston.com
My favorite part was Maroney acknowledging what he has learned from watching Fred Taylor run: "Maroney said he has learned a lot from watching 33-year-old Fred Taylor operate. 'Just like a lot of one-cuts and gos. A lot of times when you think there ain't nothing there just to keep your feet moving,' said Maroney. 'I learned a lot. How to really improve as an NFL running back.'"
When we signed Taylor one of my hopes was that he would be a role model for Maroney and help teach him how to run. I thought Maroney looked his best his rookie year, when he had Corey Dillon as a role model. Hearing Maroney talk about making one cut and going and keeping his feet moving is music to my ears.
