News and Notes

Nov 17
RB Laurence Maroney leads New England with four rushing scores on the year, but his failure to find the end zone a fifth time and actually fumbling inside the 5-yard line in Sunday's loss to the Colts is one of the many plays that lead to the Patriots fourth-quarter collapse. |

Maroney was held to 31 yards on 13 carries, although he did score a touchdown in the Patriots' 35-34 loss to Indianapolis on Sunday night. Advice: The Patriots mostly passed, and Kevin Faulk's productivity (12 carries, 79 yards) hurt Maroney's numbers. While he could be a decent play while Sammy Morris and Fred Taylor remain out, it's proven tough to rely too much on New England running backs. |

Maroney ran 13 times for 31 yards and a touchdown and caught two passes for 15 yards in Sunday's 35-34 loss to the Colts. He also lost a fumble on Indy's one yard line. Recommendation: Maroney ended up sharing the workload with Kevin Faulk, who got hot and wound up with 12 carries for 79 yards. We wouldn't count on that happening too often as the Pats like Faulk in a change-of-pace role, but once Sammy Morris returns -- and that could happen as soon as Week 11 -- a committee situation could start brewing. |
