This is exactly why I HATE ESPN. Their crawler states that while Maroney is questionable, he is likely to play. What gives?! Those arrogant pieces of garbage are just as bad as the emperor himself.

I have seen projections giving Maroney as much as 20 carries in this game. Either he's hurt or he isn't. Its a freaking groin. You kinda need that to play running back, right? Am I missing something here?

If you're relying on Maroney to win a game for you, your season's already over.

I agree, and it probably is. Thanks for the brain teaser, Clifton. I like your sig by the way. Very modest.

uhh not if you got LT and Gates on bye
 
I gave my latest and greatest on this last night, and nothing will change from Fri PM until Sun AM. It's in one of the other Maroney threads.

And I would trust the Boston media over the national media on Pats news . . .

um. Not neccesarily, that's somewhat of a generalization. I'm 5-1 but every game is decided by a few points....

Last week it was said that Rudi would share touches, and get goal line carries. Look how that panned out. If you have to start a Pats RB, I would go with Faulk or Evans over Moroney.

And for those who are unaware, everyone should trust Yudkin on Maroney at least as much (and imo more) than any other source out there - at least that we collectively know of.The guy has been better than on the money all year even when there was very little hard information available to the general public (i.e. news sources, espn, national and even local media)

Follow that link is the best advice I can give you re: Maroney news.

 
David Y-

On the topic of Maroney, Im curious. How many leagues did you draft him in, and in what rounds?

 
I gave my latest and greatest on this last night, and nothing will change from Fri PM until Sun AM.

I would say more like Sunday at 1:06.

Ummmm, Maroney was/is like SJax.. the teams won'tl say he's out for 4 weeks, but anyone with a clue knows that already. In the case of SJax it is 6-8 weeks... NUMEROUS ppl here posted both takes on both players. No offense to DY, but this was , and has been a very easy call.... just as Watson is out until week 11.

Thanks for adding to the conversation. Of course most of us Maroney owners are relying on Maroney to win, that's why we drafted him in the first round and have had to pick up scrub RB's in the past few weeks as filler. NE plays MIAMI this week, a Maroney owner's dream matchup. Morris is out so this could be an awesome game for Maroney. Throw in all of the players on a bye this week and yes Clifton, I think that quite a few people on this board are relying on Maroney to win this week.
 
As long as Maroney is limited in practice, I wouldnt expect anything from him at all. Thats just my personal opinion, but if the team doesnt even want to push the guy thru a full practice, I dont know how anyone in their right mind can think he'd be good for 20 carries in an actual game. I think Maroney progressing to the point that he's participating is just part of his rehab/recovery for the groin injury. Its a good sign that he's out there doing light work. But this situation with Maroney and his game status has reached the point where noone will believe it til they see it. I dont personally see any usefull information being circulated on the guy.

I think what Clifton may have been saying is, Maroney has been ineffective or injured all year. If you haven't figured out a patch yet, you've got problems. Why risk the goose egg? The Fins are 0-6 and just lost their #1 WR. When they can win with Evans and Faulk why bring Maroney into the fold?

Still a shortsighted view though. I'm 5-1, subbing in Fred Taylor for Maroney the last few weeks and will do so tomorrow. But I'd rather play a healthy Maroney, with or without goal line carries. So no, I'm not relying on Maroney, I don't think anyone is at this point, but I think if/when he get's back to 100 percent, he's still got some upside and can help me continue winning. So yeah, shortsighted view by Clifton, the end.

How about bye week fillers and other scenarios? I'm 5-1 with Maroney. :goodposting:

If Maroney is out...do people consider Faulk a Top 10- back this week?

:towelwave: Wondering the same thing. I did at first, but I read a lot of people saying it'll be RBBC with him and Evans (and Eckel?)Also say DY say something about not starting him over any starting RB not in RBBC (a back like Leonard etc.)

Really? I would have to disagree. With all the bye weeks and injuries this may be your only viable option this week at RB2 and you need to know if he can play. Maroney owners could be in a conference game against someone who has an identical record and this week could impact the play off race immensely and the maroney owners need all the points they can get. This, "if you have to rely on this guy," schtick is getting old. It's almost as bad as, "is that a 6th grade girl scout 4 team league you're in?"And before you accuse me of being a Maroney owner, I don't have him (or Morris) in any league I play in...
 
The Boston Herald reports that it looks like there is a "good chance" Laurence Maroney (groin) will be out again Sunday.

If so, Kevin Faulk will likely get the bulk of the workload in New England's backfield, with Heath Evans possibly the favorite for goal-line carries and Kyle Eckel also in the mix. The Herald does acknowledge that this news is not for sure. The inactives should be up in less than an hour.

 
ESPN just had a follow up that Maroney is starting for sure.

Question is how many carries will he have and is Faulk still a decent bye week/injury filler?

I have to decide between Faulk and Ahman Green (not asking for advice just ranting)

 
Per Reiss's Pieces:

October 21, 2007

Pats inactives

By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff

Inactive players for the Patriots today:

OL Wesley Britt

DL Kareem Brown

QB Matt Gutierrez (3rd quarterback)

LB Eric Alexander

S Mel Mitchell

RB Sammy Morris

TE Benjamin Watson

DL Mike Wright

That means RB Laurence Maroney is active for today's game after missing the last three contests due to his groin.
Click to expand...
 
Maroney owners rejoice.

11:36: Patriot RB Laurence Maroney is active and will start. TE Ben Watson and RB Sammy Morris are inactive.

 
Now I have to decide if Maroney is worth a start over Derrick Ward. Anyone got a coin??
