[Patriots] Patriots Doubt RB Laurence Maroney?

Following a sterling end to his season, it appeared as though RB Laurence Maroney had finally earned the confidence of the Patriots’ coaches to be the featured bell cow in the backfield. Just days ago, though, New England hosted RB Kevin Jones on a visit to Foxborough, which we're told is a sign that coach Bill Belichick still doesn’t fully trust Maroney. Belichick was critical of Maroney’s toughness during the middle portions of the season, believing he took a gratuitously long time recovering from a groin ailment. The Patriots coveted Jones when he was coming out of Virginia Tech in 2004 and were poised to pick him at No. 32 before the Lions took him 30th. The question as to whether he’ll be signed will be dependent on whether he’s given the green light by New England’s medical staff. Jones was cut by Detroit because of concern over his torn anterior cruciate ligament, and if similar doubts are cast by the Pats’ doctors, then New England will forge ahead with a Maroney/Kevin Faulk/Sammy Morris RB trio.
