Any other Jake Plummer victims? (1 Viewer)

[thatguy]

I sure don't want to be driving in or around the Denver area, especially anywhere near Jake's house, this week.

I was burned by my decision to start Plummer in two leagues this week. I will almost certainly win one of those games, and if I get 30 or more from Gates and Wash D tonight (not likely, but completely possible) I will win the other.I still expect solid numbers from Plummer the rest of the way--something like 22 TDs, 10 INTs, 3400 yards. If you can buy low on him and are thin at QB, I would. This is the lowest his value will be.

Don't jump ship on Plummer and the Broncos, remember last year's season openner, on the road in Miami, Jaked looked terrible, and Denver lost, well the new coach of Rams, was OC, of Miami, think he got last years df scheme fom his friend the Miami DC. Looked a whole lot like that game last year. Give it another week, if results are the same, then start to worry.

Talking to my buds here, I said this exact thing. Denver is notorious for just not being ready to play week 1, especially on the road. The addition of Linehan knowing how that game down in Miami went...really thought the Rams would keep this one close and have a shot. Even a blind squirrel like me finds a nut once in awhile.I'm not that worried about Plummer or Denver, but enough to drop a WR5 for Cutler. Shanny's a little nuts, and I really wouldn't put it past him to throw Cutler out there if he really thinks he can get the job done. Cecil, SSOG, any thoughts on the likelyhood of this happening if Plummer has another horrible week?

Denver is notorious for not being ready to play in week 1? Funny, here I thought that Mike Shanahan's 10-3 record on week 1 coming into this season was best in the NFL. And here I also thought that Mike Shanahan's record in September was also the best in the NFL. Weird.As far as Plummer goes, he had a really bad game, but let's not put all the blame on him. His O-Line was getting him killed out there, and his targets had tons of drops. Javon Walker had at least 3 (including one that was a sure TD), reliable Rod had a drop or two, and Scheffler had a ball that hit him in the helmet. One of Plummer's INTs was a pass that went right through his receiver's hands, too (Brian Clark, iirc). Give Plummer those completions and he actually had a reasonably solid day- probably 300 yards and a TD, although still 2 INTs.As for Cutler... I seriously doubt he sees any PT this season unless it's a Denver blowout, or unless Denver's eliminated from the playoffs.

Hey SSOG do you know why O line play was so bad?? I didn't get to watch the game. I did hear that there were quite a few drops though...thanks for the homer info

No clue about the OLine, but with the studs that Denver has there (Lepsis, Nalen finished #1 at their position last year and Hamilton was #3 last year, according to Dr. Z, who actually has an admitted bias AGAINST Denver OLinemen), I imagine they'll get back on track in a hurry. Denver's never been as elite when it comes to pass protection, though... and the running game was just fine... so I'm waiting several more weeks before I'm willing to say they've declined in the slightest.
