Cowboys' Running Game Looking Even Better This Week (1 Viewer)

[packersfan]

From RotoWorld:

Saints DT Hollis Thomas has been suspended four games for violating the league's anabolic steroid policy.

Thomas was basically given away by the Eagles on draft day, then had been enjoying a career resurgence in the middle of the Saints' defensive line. New Orleans' shaky run defense will be even more vulnerable this week against Dallas. Thomas may appeal the suspension, saying the failed test was caused by asthma medication.

Thomas initially tested positive back in August, but was not disciplined until now due to the appeal process.

As a result, Thomas will not be available to return until the postseason.

Saints are going in to this game considerably hobbled. They can still beat Dallas, but it will be uphill sledding without Colston, Horn, and Thomas. Willie Whitehead -- normally a DE -- has filled in well as a decent gap-shooting DT in the past. Maybe he can step up once again.

Is Colston definitely out?

that's an awful long time for an appeals process. Makes me wonder

And who do we bump up?

As a JJ and MBIII owner, this info does me no good. As always, it's a WDIS effing with my head.

Will JJ break one to go along with his 60 to 80 yards on the day?

Or will MBIII vulture 1, 2, or 3 TDs on Sunday?

The trend is with MBIII.

IMO MB3 runs up the gut far more than Jones but it's not something I'm looking for so I could be wrong. It's just he seems to like "the corner" like Curtis, lil Joe, and every other Parcells back. They're always on by me in NY, I have no idea why, still amazed by that. And, MB3 will always vulture TDs or so it seems. I don't plan for Jones to get any and if he does then it seems "lucky" FF wise.

I'm thinking we'll see a rotation between Whitehead and Rodney Leisle, who has his own gravitational pull. He performed surprisingly well last year after given an opportunity to start. I could see him in on 1st down and obvious running situations with Willie getting the passing down work.

He was suspended for taking asthma medication. Stupid rule, but Hollis has to know what he's taking.
