Why? I like Maroney, but I think that Addai just runs differently with more aggression. That's what I like about him and it's what I don't see in Maroney "YET". Maybe if the injury bug would leave him alone, we might see that more. I like backs who run hard and with a purpose. It is perplexing to see him dancing in the back field at times. I keep wondering if it's the playcalling, the O-line or Maroney.
There was no need to curse at me either.
Maroney just seems to lack power when running between the tackles. He almost always falls back when hit. Addai always gains at least another yard when hit, it takes like 3 players to drive him back. Another weakness I think Maroney has is that he doesn't really set up the defenders to think he's going one way, so they're always in the gap he hits. I think this is why it often seems like the Oline is screwing up when Maroney runs but there are always holes when Faulk/Morris are in.
