Patriots | Maroney says he has to get back to basics
Sat, 10 Oct 2009 06:43:45 -0700 Ian R. Rapoport, of the Boston Herald, reports New England Patriots RB Laurence Maroney acknowledged that he must change his running style in order to become more effective. "What am I doing differently?" Maroney asked. "I came to the final conclusion that I'm not running the way I used to run. I got to get back to the basics."

"That's just as bad as dancing because I'm not really reading the play," Maroney said. "I'm trying to hit it fast and hard, so they can be like, 'Well, at least Maroney was running hard.' It really don't mean nothing if I ain't getting nowhere."
