Defense by Committee (1 Viewer)

[Mordraken]

I think a lot of people picked these two defenses to play weekly matchups. I'm wondering how many people are sticking with them after:

1) Miami offense is once again giving the opposition a short field resulting in points despite holding Buffalo to under 200 yards.

2) Miami offense has allowed over 100 rushing yards in two concecutive games

3) NE is middle of the pack so far in 2006 despite playing Buffalo and the Jets (two offense that shouldn't be great).

4) NE and Miami have combined for 1 interception and 0 forced fumbles in their combined 4 games

5) Both teams average 6 sacks, which puts them right about middle of the league in that department.

Who is thinking of ditching both defenses for another defense that might be available (like San Diego, St. Louis, Dallas, Cinci, or half a dozen that were ranked in the #10-#20 range)?

No way.

New England has Denver at home this week and

Miami has Tennessee at home

The only questions is which one do I choose?

I used New England in Week 1 & Miami in week 2 and got good returns on both.

I'm thinking of ditching this too. It's a good concept to look for poor opposing offenses. Problem is that it's based off last year's stats. Not sure what to do yet, but with one of the worst def scores in my league I have to do something.

I'm with JML. I'm sticking with this committee... and definitely using Miami vs. TEN this week.

You must have a different scoring system than mine (which is points for low scoring games and bonus points for sacks/turnovers/blocked kicks/def.TDs). In my league Mia is ranked #16 and #27 for NE & Mia respectivley, and they've only played one team (combined) that is expected to finish the season with a winning record...

The Seth Davis NE/Buffalo combo is working OK, but Buffalo could be an every week play.

Yeah - would be interested to hear this as well. I got a whopping 3 points from Miami this week for allowing 16 points and getting 2 sacks. Curious to hear the scoring there.All this said - I will be starting Miami this week against the sorry TEN offense. No one can pass that up. I will probably look to see if I can pick up any team playing TEN or OAK from week to week.

We get points for Rushing yds allowed & Passing yards allowed and penalised if they concede too muchThe same for points againstAlso the standard Defensive points as well.Don't get me wrong, it hasn't been a Chicago or Baltimore effort, but for where I drafted them I'm getting good results. The key is getting good matchups every week and this schedule does. Not convinced either Miami or New England are rock solid, but the schedule gods are kind.May look to reinforce certain weeks, but am happy so far.

I'm holding them this week, but will put a bid in on Dallas who are on the WW and have a bye next week ... if I land Big D this combo is toast!

 

[BoltzNBrew]

I am abandoning ship on this. Neither D is anything sectacular and hasn't yeilded the returns expected thus far. WAS vs. HOU this week looks like a good play.

 

[Evilhomer3k]

I'm going with any team playing TEN or OAK. Those two teams are a complete train wreck and any D should provide decent points against them.

 

[RRaptors]

I'm dropping this tandom too. Grabbing Atlanta, dropping Patriots. Keepin Miami to put up agianst TEN next week znd will likely dropp after Atlanta's bye in week 5.

I'm hanging onto Miami to play vs. TEN, then going with the same strategy.
