Chester Taylor (1 Viewer)

[Mr. Black]

I didn't get to watch that game can someone tell me what happen, did he get hurt?

 

[DoubleG]

I was wondering the same thing - I figured it was just because I started him

...and benched D. Foster.

 

[soymex]

to me, it just seemed like "one of those days".

i don't think it was anything special.

the vikings offense sucked and couldn't get anything going. especially on the ground.

troubling, but it happens with all but the best RBs now and again, doesn't it?

 

[Wally Cleaver]

They tried running the ball early but I believe he had 12 yards on 8 carries as the Bills were keying on the run... Minnesota then went to the pass but had a bunch of three and outs... Not sure about the time of possession but it seemed like Buffalo was on the field all day long... Minnesota then fell behind and never got back to running the ball...

I would say that this game could probably be chocked up as a fluke as I dont see Minnesota playing this style of game very often and they just couldnt seem to stay on the field... If this happens again however I will be worried.

Yeah that's why they play the game these things do happen just wasn't sure if he was banged up and I was too lazy to check the play by play. Thanks

 

[soymex]

well i will say that as a taylor owner, i will be trying to get moore off the waiver wire.

not that i am worried about taylor (they did throw him a bunch of money and he looks good so far), but no one knows if he can handle the full load all season.

 

[soymex]

though i am worried a desperate opponent will see taylor struggled and moore had like 40 yards and snag him ahead of me. slim pickings...

Moore had two carries on 3rd and long that netted him good yardage, but nothing else of note...

 

[soymex]

taylor was also listed as "probable" late in the week so perhaps something was nagging him.

 

[LongDrivethenFoozle]

Why such support.....we had a guy draft him in rd. 3. If the Vikings had a clue they would have gotten Mo-J.D. instead. Chester is destined for a career of 10-12 carries a game. It is amazing how drafting a guy in Fantasy because some "cheatsheet" had him ranked in that spot warrants support as though he's L.J, L.T. or even Tiki. Chester????? PLEASE

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Bills shut down the running game but Brad Johnson was having a lot of early success through the air with short passes. Just wound up being a tough matchup for Taylor. Moore got more work because they were playing from behind a lot in the second half.

 

[soymex]

when i talk about adding moore, it is more from the perspective of questioning if taylor will wear out or get nicked up. i am in no way saying moore was getting favored today or is superior to taylor.

 

[Mr. Black]

Good Info guys thanks I apprecite it. It's hard to get information over here in Kuwait.

 

[LongDrivethenFoozle]

Good Info guys thanks I apprecite it. It's hard to get information over here in Kuwait.

God bless you in Kuwait.......we will get you all the latest Nfl info you need as long as you stay safe and true! The States are in a dissarray.......and until the troups come home you are missing nothing but "Money running Money running Puppets"......so keep in touch so we know Men and Women with respect for American people who work their ### off to make ends meet, are still there on behalf of that very belief. Bush is not your commanding chief.......your love and respect for those who respect your efforts should remain your motivation. If I could be there I would.....and thats no BS........these games will go on when you return, but only if you all band as brothers and know we NEED you more than football!

I watched the entire game.And I know anyone who hates any player will say HE SUCKS... but the Bills blew up the line in half the running plays. He would get the ball and almost immediately have to avoid getting tackled by a LB or a DT. The Minnesota offensive line looked pedestrian in runblocking, but did pretty well in pass protection.Brad Johnson had a bad game. He started to shake it off at the end, but no dice.Chester didn't have a good day, and I wont blame the line entirely but I think its very close to being 50/50. Mo or J.D. are lesser backs. EVERYONE knows that... they would of probably did worse, so don't over exaggerate with your comments.Thanks.

 

[Resident A]

The Vikes clearly abandoned the run too early. Taylor only had 10 carries. Only 4 were in the 2nd half, but those were for 17 of his 23 yards. The Vikings played like they were trailing by 20, completely abandoning the run. It didnt make much sense to me, because the 2nd half is when their O-line strives.

This was the first week I started Chester, so I am not pleased right now.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

All the money that the Vikings have spent on the o-line is (at this point) looking like a bad investment.

Taylor still runs hard, but the holes just aren't there.

And defenses in no way respect Brad Johnson past 10 yards. Nor should they.

 

[Bankerguy]

He killed me in the Subscriber contest.

 

[Two Deep]

There is nothing special about him, average power, average speed, average vision. Mewelde Moore actually has more talent than Taylor and at some point the coaching staff will have to accept that. The problem is they have alot of money invested in Taylor so he plays.

 

[OldMilwaukee]

As a Bills fan I would love to beat my chest and tell you that we were the better team. The fact of the matter is that the ball just bounced Buffalo's way Sunday. Taylor and the Vikings will not be so unlucky each and every week.

 

[stlrams]

I was shocked at his performance and was looking to trade for him. Luckily for me the other owner turned it down....

 

[brianj74]

The offense stunk.

They didn't even attempt anything deep until they were down in the 4th quarter.

They were something like 2 for 13 on 3rd down conversions.

Brad Johnson played the worst game of the year thus far.

The O-line wasn't blowing anyone away.

Taylor wasn't impressive versus Buffalo but no one was either.

 

[shiekra]

he's had decent numbers so far considering who they've played against.washington, then carolina,chicago,and buffalo.I know the Bills aren't a great team, but they have their days when they have a strong defense. I was thinking about trading for Taylor now.

 

[Man in the yellow hat]

Hmm. So Taylor sucks? I don't know. Heading into week 4, he was a top ten fantasy back in my league.

 

[shiekra]

I believe I said just the opposite.

Yeah, we were posting at the same time. That's directed at those who want to poo poo Taylor after yesterday.

 

[intrinsic]

Remember though, Moore was dinged up early in the season. I see them working him in more and more, he is too explosive (when healthy) not to.

I grabbed Taylor late and he has contributed well for where i grabbed him, but i am trying to work a trade with someone because i definitely forsee Moore taking a larger share of the action coming soon.

What leads you to this conclusion? When has Moore ever been able to do this. I was a huge Moore fan a year or two ago, but it's always the same story with this guy. He look OK here and there, but he just is not tough enough to make a significant contribution on a weekly basis. It's always a nagging injury here or there.

 

[Wheelhouse]

Buffalo defense at home on a good day is what happened.

Do you have a link to substantiate this or are you just reading a crystal ball??

 

[Black Label Society]

As a Vikes homer, I've obviously watched every game they've played this year.

The offensive line is struggling badly. Even in pass protection.

they are not opening holes for Taylor, thus his pedestrian 2.7ypc average.

When he does have holes, he's pretty explosive to be honest. And the boy FIGHTS for every inch.

But I have my doubts too about him lasting the whole season when they were giving him 30+ carries a game.

On a side note...they've played the Skins, Bears, Bills and Carolina, who are probably all in the top 10 in defensive lines or defense. They get a cupcake team this week in the Lions, and I think Taylor will bounce back. Childress should (crystal ball) get back to fundamentals this week, by pounding the ball relentlessly.

I see Taylor having a good chance of a big game (fantasy wise).

 

[soymex]

yeah as a taylor owner i say-give moore the ball more!

i don't want to see taylor wear down or get hurt so i would be fine if he gave up a few carries (just not in the red zone).

Watch the games, and see what happens, dont look at a friggen box score and think you know whats going on.He has good power, not great. very good speed and it showed in Baltimore, not so much yet this year because he has not had the holes he had in Baltimore and some of the few good runs were ALL taylor yesterday. Moore is a good 3rd down back, but he is nothing more then a Kevin Faulk. Moore has some good moves, but he would of been lambasted in the backfield with all his dancing he does.Just an OBSERVATION from actually watching the games. Thanks anyways.

Completely wrong. Talyor has made some 0 yard runs this year that should have gone for -5. The line has not jelled. The two tackles are especially struggling in run blocking. Tayor time and again gets hit behind the line and has to fight for everything he gets. Watching him run with tacklers on his back tells you he has power and he actually hits the hole quite well, when it has been there. Moore is gaining yards this year because of situation. He is the third down back and has run several times on 3rd and long when the Vikes try a draw or just accept that they will attempt a field goal or punt. Don't knock Chester without watching him, because I think he has been one of the few bright spots on the Viking offense thus far.My

I've watched this hack since he came into the league. Don't come on here thinking your some kind of expert and are going to try and school me. This guy was a backup and still should be a backup, there is nothing special about him. Sorry you didn't notice that before you unwisely drafted him. And by the way, Your Mama!

Who did he back up???? Oh wait, yeah... they guy who ran for 2000 yards. OK. My bad, he should of DEFINATELY started over him! Please offer us something worthwhile.... not your obvious hate for the guy.I havent nor will I call myself an expert, but I will mention how much more I seem to know about this guy then you. You either:A. Hate the guy for some reason.B. In love with Moore.C. Have some kind of football terets.So please do not waste our time on this.DISCLAIMER: I have not nor will I say he is some Ladanian Tomlinson... he is a good back and could be a very good fantasy RB if his line could come together.Thank you.

Mature, intelligent response...Chester has excellent speed and very good vision. He has faced four incredibly stout run defenses and has faired very well other than this week and now he will enter a large stretch of games against cream puffs... He is about to put up some big numbers imo...

You should be able to get as good as you give, note the bolded sarcastic response from you too me. If I am dealing with smart ### I will respond like a smart ###. If that makes me immature well great. You have an opinion as well as I, I think your assessment of Taylor is incorrect. He is what is called a journeyman. Sure he will throw up a few good numbers but more often then not he will be just average.

Iw asnt being a smartass.. I was merely stating my opinion on the matter. You look at boxscores and determine things from there. Because it was painfully obvious in this last game that the Vikings offensive line was not playing well. So I put 2 and 2 together and I stand by my comments.You obviously have a vendetta against Taylor for some reason and you havent psoted anythign worth while yet for this besides some general untrue statements.

That wasn't me, but I see your point... Let's take a look at your statement, "he will throw up a few good numbers but most of the time will be average...." Considering he was likely drafted in the 3rd, 4th or even 5th round depending on the type of league, he has easily outproduced his draft position against 4 very tough defenses.... Average or slightly above average considering there is not that many solid RB2's is more than adequate! I expect his production to go up from here, we shall see.

Funny, I didn't notice you sitting in my living room watching the games. I have no vendetta, I'm just not watching through rose colored glasses my friend. The problem with you is you expect more from the guy than he is capable of giving, unless your looking at from a fantasy football angle. I'm fairly certain opposing defenses are not fearing the average skills of Chester Taylor. As far as not posting anything worthwhile, that is only the opinion of a person with what appears to be a man crush for Chester.

Ill give ya a bottom line, and then drop it.GIVE US SOMETHING TO PROVE YOUR DISLIKE FOR CHESTER. Except for the he stinks, just because I said so, crap.

I had Jamal lewis in one of my leagues the past few years, injured or not, and it handcuffed me to Chester... I kind of followed him through out. I never thought he was going to set the league on fire type of back, but he could do very well with his speed, vision and his cutback ability. I watched some games with him in a baltimore uni.

If you can't offer anything useful, then just move on and print an image of Taylor, put it on a dart board and have yourself a ball.

 

[Two Deep]

The offense stunk.

They didn't even attempt anything deep until they were down in the 4th quarter.

They were something like 2 for 13 on 3rd down conversions.

Brad Johnson played the worst game of the year thus far.

The O-line wasn't blowing anyone away.

Taylor wasn't impressive versus Buffalo but no one was either.

Excellent post, in a nutshell.

There is nothing special about him, average power, average speed, average vision. Mewelde Moore actually has more talent than Taylor and at some point the coaching staff will have to accept that. The problem is they have alot of money invested in Taylor so he plays.

Watch the games, and see what happens, dont look at a friggen box score and think you know whats going on.

He has good power, not great. very good speed and it showed in Baltimore, not so much yet this year because he has not had the holes he had in Baltimore and some of the few good runs were ALL taylor yesterday. Moore is a good 3rd down back, but he is nothing more then a Kevin Faulk. Moore has some good moves, but he would of been lambasted in the backfield with all his dancing he does.

Just an OBSERVATION from actually watching the games. Thanks anyways.

I've watched this hack since he came into the league. Don't come on here thinking your some kind of expert and are going to try and school me. This guy was a backup and still should be a backup, there is nothing special about him. Sorry you didn't notice that before you unwisely drafted him. And by the way, Your Mama!

Mature, intelligent response...Chester has excellent speed and very good vision. He has faced four incredibly stout run defenses and has faired very well other than this week and now he will enter a large stretch of games against cream puffs... He is about to put up some big numbers imo...

You should be able to get as good as you give, note the bolded sarcastic response from you too me. If I am dealing with smart ### I will respond like a smart ###. If that makes me immature well great. You have an opinion as well as I, I think your assessment of Taylor is incorrect. He is what is called a journeyman. Sure he will throw up a few good numbers but more often then not he will be just average.

Iw asnt being a smartass.. I was merely stating my opinion on the matter. You look at boxscores and determine things from there. Because it was painfully obvious in this last game that the Vikings offensive line was not playing well. So I put 2 and 2 together and I stand by my comments.You obviously have a vendetta against Taylor for some reason and you havent psoted anythign worth while yet for this besides some general untrue statements.

Funny, I didn't notice you sitting in my living room watching the games. I have no vendetta, I'm just not watching through rose colored glasses my friend. The problem with you is you expect more from the guy than he is capable of giving, unless your looking at from a fantasy football angle. I'm fairly certain opposing defenses are not fearing the average skills of Chester Taylor. As far as not posting anything worthwhile, that is only the opinion of a person with what appears to be a man crush for Chester.
