Kirk Morrison is ranked seventh among LBs in FBG scoring.
Guys that no longer are able to use the poor matchup, just missed producing, etal excuses:
DL Julius Peppers
LB Adalius Thomas
DB Kerry Rhodes
DT Cory Redding
CB Ronde Barber

Morrison has been in the top ten LBs since week 1.

I'm disappointed with Terrell Suggs right now, but I'm not ready to call him a bust... yet.

I disrespectfully submit Ronde Barber and Jason Taylor for your consideration...
Barber's last shot is this week vs. Indy.
Jason Taylor is dead to me...

I have Hawk as well and thought about including him... but his tackle #'s have been up the last two weeks and I keep telling myself he's gonna break out soon like he did at midseason last year.Thoughts on Hawk anyone???

Julius Peppers
Last year he had huge games week after week after week. This year he's starting every week for owners and doing very little so far.

Well if David Carr remains the QB he is going to be on the field allot... maybe something will happen.

I'd be happy with 1.

Hawk is not getting off blocks consistently and looks tentative rather than explosive. Further, in a Jim Bates defense, this is what happens with a healthy MLB who has two competent DT in front of him. Barnett was dinged with a number of injuries last year and the defensive tackle play was just so-so. Hawk showed last year that he's got enough talent to overcome some of the scheme issues, but he'll have to be at the top of his game to do it.I have Hawk as well and thought about including him... but his tackle #'s have been up the last two weeks and I keep telling myself he's gonna break out soon like he did at midseason last year.Thoughts on Hawk anyone???
This is Peppers. Over the last ten games of 2006, he had only two games with a sack. Both were multi-sack games. He had stretches of five games without a sack in both 2005 and 2004. He's had 52.5 sacks in his 79 game career -- but 31 of those sacks came in just eleven games, leaving 20 sacks spread over the other 68 games. He has had two games with four solo tackles (less sacks) in the past two seasons, but ten with one or fewer solo tackle less sacks. He's is the definition of an all-or-nothing DL.If you can put up with his lineup killing 2-0-0 for long stretches, his 6-2-3 will singlehandedly win a game or two for you a season. If not, hope for a big week soon and get him off your roster.

I was "lucky" enough to land Rhodes AND Barber as my starting DBs'....I dropped Barber for Barrett after Week 2 & am now considering dropping Rhodes for Eric Wright if you'll think he'll keep his job in Clev...
It's not like Rhodes isn't getting opps. there - everyone is running on the Jets.

My votes so far:
DE - Will Smith, Justin Smith, Julius Peppers, Leonard Little, Charles Grant, Luis Castillo, Terrell Suggs
LB - Daryl Smith, Bradie James, Bart Scott, Takeo Spikes, Demorrio Williams, Andra Davis (many saw this coming), AJ Hawk, Keith Brooking
DB - Asante Samuel, Ronde Barber, Kenoy Kennedy,Chris Hope, Brodney Pool,Nick Collins, Roman Harper, Stuart Schweigert, Troy Polamalu
Overall these guys were rated higher going in and so far they haven't done much in the first four weeks. Some I still have hope for...others I'm close to giving up on.

As feeble as the Rams offense has been, you'd think Witherspoon would have the opportunity for a few more tackles.
So where are they?

Add Van Den Bosch to the list ... I don't care if he's had a bye.

D Smith isn't doing that bad unless you thought he would be in the MLB; and Bart Scott is inproving every week.My votes so far

Time to give up on good ol' Nick. Bigby appears to be solid at SS while Rouse is waiting in the wings . . .

Jason Taylor and J. Peppers have to be biggest busts so far.
Besides them, another vote for W. Smith, C. Grant, K. Rhodes, & C. Hope.
