  1. if maroney isnt going to run hard because of the shoulder they are better off just not having him play. I dont believe for a second that chambers wont play though didnt he play well last week agains miami? They reallly need this game against the pats or they will be 2-4 and records like that tend to snowball into really good draft picks lol

  1. Over all Maroney is a waist of a roster spot. The would do better to cut him and find others who can do the job willingly. Even if they are nicked a bit.

  1. I am really not sure what Bill sees in him but there must be something good there or he would already be gone. When he first came out in the pre-season of his rookie year, I thought we had made a steal with him, I thought he was better than Reggie Bush. Last year I was not worried early because the running game was not a big part of the "air Brady" game plan. He was being saved for the later part of the season where it worked out quite well.
    In last weeks game, I could not believe my eyes when he went out of bounds short of a first down. It seems like Bill must once again have a plan for him as he does not seem upset at Maroney's performance. I am not sure what is up but stand by, I think BB has something up his sleeve for Maroney, at least I sure hope so!

  1. Does anyone remember last year and how hard he ran towards the end of the year? There was a replay of last years AFC Championship last vs Chargers last night and it reminded me of what type of skill set this kid has when he is on. This kid is ultra talented and will be fine when he is healthy. iguide, cut him??

  1. Nikos:

    You are right when he is on. The problem is that he is only "on" 20% of the time. The rest of the time he is a waist. Get rid of him if he can not consistently carry his share of the load, and so far he can not!!!! Also so often when he is ok he dances like he is on dancing with the stars instead of running on a football field. So far he is more of a pantie waist than a football player.
