To quote Matt Waldman from this morning: "If you're only looking at the box score or watching the ball, you'll never understand the why's behind trends that can help you win."Snaps = opportunities to be involved in plays. If the timeshare of snaps continues, it will only yield more and more...

See also: Mike Clay of ProFootballFocus.com just posted this on Twitter: "James Starks played 47 snaps to 17 for Ryan Grant. Not as much of a committee as expected." If the eye test and McCarthy's quote doesn't convince you that the writing is on the wall for this RB situation, certainly the...

I don't think it's hate for Collins, just realistic expectations for his situation. Bad o-line and a weak running game, both of which were hidden by Manning's ability to read defenses. Plus the entire offense is built around the no-huddle and Manning's pre-snap reads. They will have to take a...

Because of money. Bush is way overpaid, and the Saints have already been trying to get him to restructure his contract, which he'll have to do for Miami too, so there's a chance this deal doesn't get done still. But in all likelihood, Bush was going to be cut so they didn't have to pay him the...

:no:

I don't see Miami using him as more than a change-of-pace/3rd down back, with D. Thomas still getting the bulk of the carries. They'll also use Bush in Wildcat situations too, I imagine, but Bush has proven he can't handle anything close to a full load, so I don't see him earning more than...

Exactly. If I'm not mistaken, the Panthers had the lowest payroll (or at least in the bottom few) in the NFL last year. They took advantage of the uncapped year by trying to save a lot of money. With the new minimum cap floor, they had a lot of ground to make up, so it's not a surprise they are...

"mumble mumble...broke ankle...mumble mumble...stitches...mumble mumble...i'm here to talk about football...mumble mumble...wrangler jeans...mumble mumble...broke ankle."

So do you think Vernon has cracked the top 10 yet then? Is he ahead of guys like Carlson, Heath or Zach Miller, etc.?

When it comes down to close decisions like this, I try to look at the opposing defensive scheme to see if they have any tendencies that might lend itself to opening up more opportunities for one player over the other. Garcon is more of a big play/deep threat, although we've seen him work well as...

You can like Johnny Knox all you want. I like him too and think he has some potential, but he is NO Steve Smith. Smith is a very strong and physical player, and that's what turned him into an elite receiver. Knox shies away from contact far too often. He's got excellent speed, is showing some...

You can't just look at the first 5 games of each season and say, "well, they're 3-2 again, guess that Cutler trade didn't help afterall."I will agree with you however on being tired of people claiming Cutler to be the Bears' savior. I agree that those people who thought the Bears were immediate...

^^^This.The defensive turnaround in Denver is why they're 6-0 right now. The offense just needs to do enough to win, like last night. Orton is a solid QB. He takes the high percentage throws and avoids mistakes by checking down, and does it very well. And he gets the ball in the hands of a...

Which coach are we talking about here, and what decision did they make? I voted for NO. You absolutely save that timeout to force them to run on 3rd down. If they decide to throw anyway and go for the first down and the win, you're in the same situation you would have been in having used a...

Reports are that Hester's neck will be fine and he's expected to play following the bye week. Knox's shin injury was minor as well, so neither are expected to miss any time.That said, I think Bennett still holds some value, but both he and Knox may have limited upside because they are in a...

I'm curious as well. Will Avery bounce back as a true #1 target again, or will Burton step up? (Trying to decide between Burton, K. Washington, and A. Caldwell as a waiver pickup...)

Shouldering the loan? As in the stadium financing? That's a lot to shoulder...I'm not sure Choice is ready for that kind of responsibility yet.

I like Rotoworld for the quick updates, and agree that generally speaking, the assessments/analysis are pretty solid. But like anything, you have to take that as just one opinion, combine that with other opinions/analysis you read, plus your own thoughts, then make your own conclusion. That's...

Used: Seahawks Week 2: Packers

Everyone can have an opinion, and rarely will I say an opinion is wrong, but this is one of those times. +1 for Collinsworth, which puts this thread around 37-3 or thereabouts. A rout indeed.
