Pats dictating
The Bengals have had their chances in this game, and are doing some things to make the Patriots uncomfortable. But it says a lot that Cincinnati appears to be slowing the game down in an effort to keep it close. The Patriots want to take Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh out of the game, and so far it's worked. They have 51 yards combined.
It may be the skeptic in me, but I think this game is going to get a lot more interesting in the second half.

I was a fan of Maroney from early last year, but have been less than impressed since. Am I totally on crack to say that Morris looks better than Maroney? He seems like a typical, non-flashy, lunchpail, team guy the Patriots like, too.

Ok so anyone else fed up with ESPN and their injury info? I happened to start Maroney and sit Derrick Ward based on their reports. If you don't know what you are talking about, just shut up!! Luckily Moss saved the day for my team, but c'mon!!

Gregg,
I'd love to hear your thoughts sometime this week on Sammy Morris's long-term value. Is he a good sell high this week, given Maroney's return?

Guys I picked up Morris in one of my leagues and started him. I almost started Foster over Maroney in another league. Morris is the more of a north/south bruising back then Maroney. Morris has been getting almost all of the goal line work. However that being said Maroney IMO has looked very impressive in his games. Maroney runs with aggression and is able to put on quite a show. I had a groin injury last year they take considerable time to heal. I think Morris will be a great play versus Cleveland this week.
