Which was the best New England Patriots run of 2006?
As I instructed them to, Patriots fans voted David Thomas’s catch the best by a Patriots player last season. This time around Patriots.com is running a poll on the best run by a Patriot last year.
Of the five runs picked by Patriots.com, I’d vote for Lawrence Maroney’s 25-yard dash against the Cincinnati Bengals as the best of the season. The rest of them are all substantially less impressive, but I’d take Maroney’s touchdown run against Jacksonville Jaguars as the second best, Corey Dillon’s run as the third, Tom Brady’s out flanking Chicago linebacker Brian Urlacher the fourth and Kevin Faulk’s two-point conversion against San Diego Chargers the fifth best. It should be noted that Faulk is the only player who was featured in the vote for best catch.
The run I miss is Dillon’s against Tennessee Titans in the last game of the regular season. I’m still almost drooling when thinking about it. However, it really was the offensive line that shined on that play. What a play that was.
