I am a big fan of Crowell and it's definitely a plus matchup so I would probably go with him over Abdullah but it's close and I wouldn't fault you for starting Ameer.
Please tell me that doesn't include the attempted fingernail tackle when AA busted one to the house the long run and got caught from behind? Because I'm not sure you could really define that as "contact". Not trying to be confrontational at all, but come on - that was a bad tackle. lol
+1
No game this year had both teams go over 30 points yet this season, this one has the potential.
Was that the 24 yarder? Hey man, I don't work for PFF, don't shoot the messenger. Contact is contact.
A generous definition for sure. And yeah - the 24 yarder - he slipped through a hole and I think a defender's fingertip grazed Abdullah's shoelace. Still a good game for AA, no doubt.
I think they're seeing opportunity.
When you take away the big run from a back their numbers tend to get very mediocre. The fact is he did have that run.
I never liked that argument of take away that one run, because often times that one run isn't a mistake.
Part of the benefit of pacing your RB's is so those runs show up at the end of games when they still have their legs against a tiring defense.
Good, good.
He's my number 2, but I have Coleman, Henry, and Carson, and Bell as my number 1. So things are looking up. Also he was a 5th round.
I guess it depends on how you look at it. Are we allowed to ignore all the runs where he was hit three yards behind the line of scrimmage?
If you are in a PPR you should probably keep Riddick. However the notion that Riddick runs with more power is completely counter to all the data and game film. They both dance, personally I think Riddick is better in open space but that is difficult to judge objectively.
Serious question.. why?
Because he's a really talented and complete RB who did an impressive job on a very bad team last year. I get that his production is down this year so far but it's still a bad team, maybe worse than last year. Your expectations for him maybe off, personally I think that he finishes the year of as a solid number two running back.
He went from wks 9-15 last yr without a td
on his preseason page was a blurb about how he scored double digits 13 of 16 games or something and 6 of those were over 20. something crazy like that.
ppr, 10/16 games double digits. of those 10, 6 are over 15, 3 over 20.
You must have him confused with someone else
Exactly! And he still managed to average 4.8 YPC and 8 YPR as the the only legitimate offensive threat on a one win team that was second lowest in scoring and 27th in total plays per game. A regression throughout last season should have been expected as defenses started to key on him more and more.
Week 13 he was on bye.
And that's fine, he's a good football player. My post up thread tonight was asking why you love him in FF
198 carries and 40 receptions. I'll stand by those numbers.
7th Rd i believe. Which is good value I suppose but it doesn't matter where you draft a guy if he gets you <10 pts 7 times.
I was and then I traded him (and Kyle Rudolph) in week 5 for AJ Green and the Packers defense.
I traded for him week 3 or 4 for Parker. he never started for me. had Bell and picked up Ajayi off WW (short bench, before foster retired)
That one solid cut he is capable of makes him someone I won't cut until injury. He has too much innate talent to just cast aside in all but the tightest leagues.thatguythere said:
Looks an awful lot like my Madden 2003 play calling...thatguythere said:
I noticed that too, almost like his feet are ahead of what he is trying to do.
This guy has played only 20 games in his three years....so I'm expecting it to take a half dozen games or so for him to get in the groove and run with a little more patience. It would be nice to see him make it thru the season playing every game.
He has played 20 games out of 34. Not 3 years. He did make it through every game his rookie year.
Just bought 3 bottles and a shirt.Because Ty is my boo.

My avi is my company logo. I'm not anonymous on here and several members here know me in RL, so I fail to see how or why I'd be accused of being someone else, but frankly I'm more than a little sick of it.
