RB laurence Maroney was on the sidelines during Sunday's 34-27 loss to Houston. When asked about it, Coach Belichick gave one of his typical evasive answers by saying that he was trying to give certain players additional snaps. Benjarvis green-Ellis played in place of Maroney.
It's unknown whether Maroney has been benched or if was truly a "coach's decision". Since fumbling on the goal line in the first drive of the previous week's game against Jacksonville, Maroney has been banished to the sidelines.
He has four fumbles this season compared to two in his previous three seasons with the Pats. They have all come at crucial times. His non-playing has come at a time when it was disclosed that he has been meeting with Coach Belichick on a weekly basis for one on one discussion.
Has the coach given up on him? Will he play against the Ravens on Sunday? With the loss of WR Wes Welker, it looks like the team will go with four receivers for Sunday's game. Will they dress five backs or will Maroney or Green-Ellis sit the game out.
Maroney had been enjoying a fine season with 9 TD's and 757 Yards on 194 carries.
