Maroney was inactive for us week 1, for a "thigh injury". He was clearly in the doghouse, however, as he was playing with the scrubs during the preseason.
He's in the last year of his contract, and was clearly the worst 1st round pick fo the Belichick era.
What's surprising to me is that this leaves us undermanned at RB with a bunch of Geritol popping, likely-to-be-injured, decrepit old timers at the position. I remember reading LAST YEAR taht the Patriots had 3 out of 4 of the RBs in the NFL over 32 years old -- Fred Taylor, Sammy Morris and Kevin Faulk.
