Look I'm not a doctor..this is the lastest report I read on this subject...I'm asking if Dillon can carry the whole load!..So far only one here replied correct to the question..rather not get into medical chats.
Dillon is my 3rd RB just to say..have Westbrook and FWP as my starters..so was just asking a simple question!hellz_fireflies

i think if dillon had to carry the load in NE that he would be able to.
with that said, i see a slight shift this week in the carries from the NE backs. from 50-50 to 2-1 in favor of dillon. The pats should easily win their division again this year and they are going to want maroney 100% for the playoffs. If maroney sat out for a portion of practice a few days this week with a sore/slightly sprained ankle, they aren't going to give him a ton of carries against a jets team that the patriots should easily be able to control, with or without maroney.
the situation needs to be looked at from the patriots point of view, not the hopeful fantasy football perspective. The smart move would to give maroney a bit of a break to fully recover and not further the possibility of further injuring his ankle.

I think you have it backwards, I think they save Dillon for the playoffs. Sorry, I don't own either so this is an outsiders opinion. Dillion has been there before.

i agree with you in that regard, but my post was more delegated for this week alone. i can see dillon getting more of a breather in the last few weeks, 14-17. (although he's been a better runner in the 2nd half of previous seasons). risking maroney with a suspect ankle, which held him out of portions of practice this week and is not just the usual "who knows" NE injury report, just seems a bit dangerous. Giving him a little 1 week breather in a game where dillon could easily handle more then 1/2 the carries, to me, seems like the smarter decision.i dont expect maroney to miss the game, i just see Dillon getting 2/3 of the carries this week instead of the usual 1/2 split. just my opinion of the situation for this week only.

Dillon has proven he can handle the load. What has Maroney had, ONE good game this year. puhlease...
Maroney has had 5 good games IMO. Week 1: 17 carries 86 yards, 5.1 ypc. Week 2: 16 carries 65 yards 1 TD, 4.1 ypc. Week 3: 12 carries 18 yards, BUT 61 yards recieving. Week 4: 15 carries 125 yards 2 TDs 8.3 ypc plus 15 yards recieving. Last week 13 carries for 63 yards 4.9 ypc.EDIT: Hell throw in Week 8: 34 yards rushing, 33 yards recieving, 67 total yards.

Hell, in my league that's nothing more than one quarter of LT + 40 quarters of Reggie Bush going backwards.

I completely disagree. Dillon's "carried the load" for 130 games or so and you're asking if he can? What do you need, 150 examples? Re-Maroney-He'd sure as heck better be able to. The Pats didn't draft those young legs to replace Faulk.You have to mean Dillon's career..since the other is a rookie..but it's hard to tell since BOTH split this season and either one had that chance to run the game alone!

A 3rd down back is typically a smaller RB who is a good receiver.Dillon is nothing like that.What are you talking about?

And now I think that we should talk about Mr. Mojo need for a :sarcasmdetector:. If you like Mr Mojo, I can let you borrow mine. As far as the thread goes ... well, there is really not all that much to say about it. In fact, if was in the acf where it belonged, it would then get the attention it deserved.Borat said:I'm talking about how completely ridiculous this thread is.Mr. Mojo said:A 3rd down back is typically a smaller RB who is a good receiver.Dillon is nothing like that.What are you talking about?Borat said:

Makes sense to me.I am still tempted to play Maroney against the Jets matchup but the fact is Maroney is dinged a bit right now and they shouldn't need him to run the ball effectivly against the poor Jets run D when they can use Dillon and Faulk instead and give Maroney some time to heal.Last 3 games Maroney has averaged 11 total touches/game + kick returns and 53 total yards/game.I don't see any reason to think he will get more touches than this when he is a bit gimpy and the Pats won't need him to get good production from the Rb position without him.

I think Maroney is going to play and I think you own Dillon. I also think that you'll be disappointed with Dillon's #'s today.Dillon at home vs NY Jets....I say he does it alone 110yards 1TD 3 for 25 receiving.
